Wilson responded immediately and confirmed his availability for the occasion as a personal assistant and witness to a notary signing in Lisbon. He communicated proactively, clearly and concisely and showed up on time and sharply dressed. He was very professional in handling my requirements and we also had good conversation for the couple of hours that he helped me. I recommend him and I'd hire him again.

I went on Tiago's pub crawl and city tour in Lisbon and it was a really great time. We went to three bars and a club, got free shots, and he did a lot of activities to help break the ice so everyone connected. He was really knowledgeable and really funny, answered everyone's questions, and just had great energy. The price was good, super reasonable, and definitely worth it for the whole experience.

Had some serious bodywork issues — dents, chipped paint, and rust spots. They handled everything efficiently and kept me updated throughout. The final result was incredible: smooth finish, perfect paint match, and no sign of previous damage. Honest team, great communication, and fair prices.
