“Carolina was brilliant and used her years of schooling to paint a very romantic picture of the Pena Palace and surrounding gardens. She had the answer to all the questions we had for her, and I was very appreciative of her particular attention to the symbolism used in its construction. Her lessons will not be forgotten, and they made the experience truly magical!”

“My wife and I had a wonderful time with Carolina. We all appreciated her concern for our wellbeing and efforts to provide a meaningful and enjoyable time visiting Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, and the Pena Palace. Carolina is passionate about Portugal and its historical sites and flora and fauna. She provided fascinating tidbits throughout the tour and freely gave recommendations of places to visit, food to try, and restaurants in which to have lunch during the day. Highly recommend Carolina Tours!”

“What a great day discovering Portugal history and culture with Carolina! We learned so much about the beautiful coastline of the Arrabida mountains, Setúbal, Sesimbra and more! Carolina was super accommodating to our needs, and making changes to our schedule. Her comfortable A/C van was perfect on a very hot day.”

“Carolina was our driver and tour guide for my wife and I and another couple for one and a half days. She was so knowledgeable and personable and passionate about Portugal, flexible, a great driver, guide and a real nice person to be with. You cannot go wrong having Carolina as your driver and guide in the Lisbon Portugal area.”

“I feel I have a new best friend. We spent almost 2 days with Carolina and I learned more about Portugal than if I had spent 6 months studying it. She is passionate about her country and her job and it shows in her knowledge and enthusiasm. She took us to out of the way places and a gorgeous drive along coastal Portugal. There isn’t a flower or a tree that she doesn’t know. My friends and I laughed more with her than we have in all the other tours we have been on.”

- Sharon

“Booking a tour of Setúbal was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Portugal. Carolina picked me up, crafted an incredible itinerary, and shared Portugal’s beauty and culture through the lens of a true insider. Her warmth and friendliness made the experience so enjoyable, and I quickly felt like I wasn’t just on a tour but spending the day with someone I’d known for years. She’s highly educated, engaging, and clearly passionate about what she does. Every stop felt meaningful, every story she shared added depth, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Hiring Carolina is an absolute must.”

“Carolina is truly amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and led a very fun, informative, and interesting tour, including three different vineyards. It was so fun to have someone who had personal relationships with the vineyards- we felt like we got a VIP/behind-the-scenes tour. She provided an interesting fact every step of the way; everything felt special. What a gorgeous locale and an excellent host.”
