Xoe Posted October 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2008 If anyone has had good experiences with tour guides, either private or group, in these ports, I'd love to have your recommendations. I'll be on Wind Spirit the first week in November, and will appreciate any help you can give for these ports: Cartagena, Almeria, Gibraltar, Cadiz, Portimao, and Lisbon. I've had good help from other CC posters as to which of these ports are suitable for exploring/walking on my own. If I have input on possible tours and/or private guides, then I'll be able to work out the best choices, considering also the ship's shore excursions. Thanks!

MGC Posted October 19, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Tours for You in Lisbon is a very good choice for that area. (http://www.toursforyou.pt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoe Posted October 19, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'll spend some time with this site today. I've gathered lots of information about the other ports, both from books and on-line, and expect I'll do fine wandering on my own. Still, if anyone knows of really good tours (preference for small groups), or my favorite, a tour guide who takes a small private party and does a tailor-made tour, I'll appreciate your information.

Gail in California Posted August 17, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I was ready to book Tours for You in Oporto but they want full payment upfront. If you cancel the next day they still take 20 % of the total tour.Less than 7 days it is 40% of tour cost. They are highly regarded on this site but I really don't like their terms. Is there any other agency that anyone has used & liked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted November 26, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Though this is an old thread, I wanted to comment on the wonderful driver/guide I had for several days in Lisbon. His name is Miguel Conde and he is knowledgeable with excellent English skills and just interesting to be with. No website but he can be reached through miguelcondelimosine@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
