We had the pleasure of using Yellow Cab tours for 2 days earlier this month. From my first contact with Fabio to having Jorge as our guide, I have the highest regard for their courtesy, professionalism and knowledge. Nothing was a problem with the bookings and Jorge was a delight to travel with for 2 days. One day was spent in Lisbon and the next at Cascais and Sintra. His knowledge was first class and he has a wonderful sense of humour which all went to make a great time.
They are certainly worth using (ask for Jorge) and it was a wonderful introduction to a fascinating country.

This was our second tour with yellow cab tt tours and it was amazing. George was an incredible guide for Lisbon. He was very easy to speak with and his English is perfect. We enjoyed our time with him very much. We had a great overview of the entire city, and even visited Cristo Re, which was a highlight. We now have a much better understanding of Lisbon’s different neighborhoods and know where to spend some more time visiting. We had a great time!! 5 stars, highly recommend.
