Tugabuddies is much different than all tours as they customize your experience to what your interests are rather than having one set route and schedule. You choose what you want... read more to do as you travel to the locations you want to explore. I would highly recommend this service over any other tour guides in Central/West Portugal. I viewed Pedro more as a local we were coming to visit, rather than an employee trying to make easy money off tourists.

  Everyone should tour with Tugabuddies - Bea did become our Portuguese best friend while touring with her for two days. We completed the Sintra Tour and the Insomnia Tour while in Lisbon. Both were fantastic, informative,... read more and full of beautiful architecture and monuments to view. She took us to excellent restaurants and venues. It was an intimate experience that gave us a unique look behind Lisbon, and Portugal! Loved every moment of it!

  This is a huge modern aquarium without mammals except penguins, otters and a few birds. Tanks are enormous. They look like they are all one but in fact are divided... read more by region. Lots on their marine conservation work. Some parts are a bit too cramped for good viewing - a design thing.

Ticket was affordable compared to other aquariums in the world. But entry process is very slow. We had a quiet day and still we stood in a longish queue to get to ticket area. Plan for at least a 90 min visit or longer.

DO NOT eat there. Caff food is awful! Better to go outside and head back to shopping mall across from metro stn.

  My company used Tugabuddies to transport 80 people from Lisbon airport to Obidos for a sales meeting (and back 5 days later). We had people flying in from all over... read more the globe over two days which created many challenges for scheduling. Nevertheless the girls at Tugabuddies were not fazed by anything, even the ever changing flight arrangements of our guests. They were able to facilitate every change and always with a smile on their faces. Beatriz and Inês worked tirelessly to make sure that each and every guest was taken care of to the highest possible standard. They were highly praised by everyone for their great work, especially as the airport was extremely busy on the day that people arrived and many flights were late arriving.as a result. I would highly recommend this company and its wonderful staff.

  Visited with teenagers on Christmas Eve
And was totally awesome!
I must say that this one of or The best Aquarium today.
It is super clean, friendly, with lots and... read more lots to see.
Short trip from the airport so many visitors spend couple of hours prior to their flights!
Awesome experience

  Tugabuddies was referred by a dear friend who used them a couple of years ago. Bea and Marcio were amazing guides and very good at describing the History of everything... read more we experienced. They made our whole experience fun. I highly recommend them for a Tour if you are looking for a great experience.

  We booked this tour from Lisbon to visit the town of Obidos and Buddha Eden, the tour also included a visit to the seaside town of Peniche, where we toured... read more a Fort, saw many panoramic views and enjoyed a lovely lunch. Our group enjoyed this portion of the tour so much.

Our guide, Marcio was so charming. In addition to the history he shared with us, he also made our tour feel very personal. We spoke of serious topics at the Fort, he shared anecdotes and stories, he also showed us his favorite spot in Peniche, tucked away and hidden in the fishing village. Marcio was also very thoughtful of my mother in law, who uses a cane and modifying the tour for her needs.

I will write separate reviews for the visits to Obidos and Buddha Eden, however they were much more fulfilling because of our guide. In Obidos one can be mesmerized by the charm of the town, but the stories and history shared with us, made our connection stronger. This will always remain a lovely memory of our surprise, last minute trip to Portugal.

  Amazing tour and guide - I was travelling solo in may 2017 and did this tour with Beatriz. It was a great way to see the area. The tour lasted pretty much the entire day... read more - the value of this tour is incredible. I can't speak highly enough of my guide, Beatriz. She has a wealth of knowledge about the area and Portugal. She was one of the most interesting people I met on my trip. I had such a fun time I booked a second tour with Beatriz!

  My trip to Peniche was a great experience. I enjoyed the surfing lesson a lot and I would definitely recommend Tugabuddies to my friends. Even though the sport is tiring,... read more my guide Joao Penas was great and very patient, so it was an amazing time for me. In fact, I am returning this summer to Portugal, for some more surfing and sun!!!

  We had a beyond wonderful full day tour of Sintra and other places of interest. Our guide was a very pleasant young woman who was very knowledgeable . ... read more She knew the history of Portugal and was a window into the world view of the Portuguese. She paced the full day well. She gave us options of what we'd like to see and do and took us to a great tapas restaurant in a location we'd never have found on our own. She had little treats for us along the way.

  So, hands down and by far the best guides you will find in all Portugal are Diogo, Márcio, and Pedro. The type of service that they provide is simply unique.... read more The one that you will get by a very close friend. No rush at all, Diogo stand in the sun waiting for us in Fatima for more than 3 hours while we explored around and asked a million questions. Márcio was our driver and explained in detail history about Portuguese history with a genuine passion and pride on their success. Pedro was a fantastic host, we got to see the real Portuguese thing. We dined, drank, ate, and explored like a local Portuguese family would do. An aunt cooked for us phenomenal authentic Portuguese food while we dine under the shadow of a big tree enjoying a variety of wines. Then, we explored his grandfather's hacienda enjoying nature and having fun with deers, rabbits, ducks, chicken, peacocks, cats and a super friendly dog. After that, we had a phenomenal experience with a full detailed explanation on Portuguese monuments and history. Simply the best! Stop searching and book them. This is a must done repeat, repeat and repeat experience while visiting Portugal !

  I did the one day tour in Lisbon and it was completely worth it. The guide, Márcio was really cool and I really enjoyed the city as I was in... read more contact with its culture and people. It was a perfect day , I felt so happy. I advise you to take this tours, excellent relation price-quality.
