A Perfect Tour, Guide and Day! Book This Tour!

This was absolutely an amazing tour with Sandra, our guide. With 17 years of experience (as of this post in August of 2026), she provided us with an incredible amount of information and planned a perfect day! We started at Pena Palace, which was perfect. It was cloudy / foggy when we started, but most of the first part was inside the palace. An amazing place, made better by Sandra’s explanations and information shared. By the time we went through the palace and got out, the sun had come out and the clouds had parted! We then went to old Sintra before going to Cabo Da Roca. Old Sintra was a quaint little town, where Sandra introduced us to Piriquita, a unique local pastry that was absolutely delicious. From there, we went by Cascais for the final stop. Sandra provided us spot on suggestions for lunch. We walked around and shopped, with Sandra providing us with a meeting spot that was easy to identify and get to. In short, Sandra was great. She gave us directions and plenty of time to do as we pleased. She was amenable to change in schedule, although none was necessary. If you are considering a tour to Pena Palace, Sintra, Cabo da Roca or Cascais, you need to schedule here. You will NOT be disappointed.

Cedric_R, Jul 2026

Fantastic Tour!

Such a memorable and fun experience with kayaking, snorkeling, and cliff jumping! It was cold, but the wetsuits 1000% handled the length of time im the water. The guide, Dennis, was fun and made you feel even more willing to be adventurous throughout the entire tour! Definitely recommend!

Lisbon Sunset Sailing with Portuguese Wine and History

Laura_S, Jun 2026

Fabulous tour before dinner in Lisbon!

This was a stellar tour. We had a lovely guide who was knowledgeable and friendly. He chatted with all of the passengers and made us all feel welcome and tended to. I hope that if you select this tour, you get David - he is an absolute doll! The only tip I have for you is that Gate 1 - if that is where you depart - is past all of the restaurants on the Docas. Just as an FYI, as we panicked a bit when we couldn’t find it at first. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed this excursion and would surely do it again!

Lisbon : Boat tour at sunset at Catamaran c/ 1 drink

Linda_F, Jun 2026

Beautiful way to see a beautiful sunset

In all the reviews, everyone mentions how cold they can get on the boat. Do not ignore that warning as it was 90° when we got to the pier and the temperature dropped fast. I did bring a warm sweater so I really enjoyed the trip. the music was good and the crew very nice. It was just the right amount of time to be on the river waiting for the sunset and to see the beautiful statues and buildings along the way.

Our guide, Adriano, was exceptional. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and helpful. He made our day so much fun. He brought us to castles/palaces and to Cascais, and told us many interesting facts and history. He picked us up and dropped us off at our Airbnb. Highly recommend.

Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais Small Group Tour with Hotel Pick Up

Caitlin_A, Apr 2026

Great way to see Lisbon, especially with Lucas

Two adults + two children ages 8 and 12 absolutely loved the tour. Lucas was exceptionally knowledgable on Lisbon including the history and the architecture. His love for his home city was evident throughout the tour. We arrived in Lisbon for a half day on Saturday and then did this tour first thing on Sunday. It really helped us to understand the city’s layout and to get a sense for how else we were going to spend remaining free time in the city. Lucas set the bar high for other tours during our stay in Portugal and the family agreed we were glad we had him to kick off our vacation.

Small-Group Templar Tour: Tomar & Almourol from Lisbon

Rose_A, Dec 2025

Incredible Tour. Like Stepping Into the Past!

This tour was absolutely outstanding! We explored so much, and our guide, Rodrigo C., made the entire experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the Knights Templar was fascinating and he brought history to life in a way that truly felt like interacting with the past. The boat ride to Castelo de Almourol was amazing, and throughout the day Rodrigo was incredibly observant, patient, and considerate. He and his colleagues made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and taken care of. Excellent driver as well. More guides should be like him! The pacing of the tour was perfect, giving us plenty of time to savor each moment. Despite the changing weather, we adapted easily and never missed a thing. We saw so much. An extensive, immersive experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Cool Tours. This is our second tour with the company and we definitely want to explore more!

Sesimbra - Half-Day Kayak Tour

Sean_F, Nov 2025

From our driver to our...

From our driver to our guide, Leiticia, our interactions with the people behind Vertente Natural were above and beyond. The kayak trip itself was an unforgettable experience. Leiticia was informative and educational about history of the area and sights. She first told us the route we would take when we were on dry land, but assured us she would be flexible, depending on our wants, since it was just the 3 of us. The beach we stopped at was beautiful! The sea caves were breathtaking. This excursion is a must do for any kayak enthusiast!
