The perfect day

We learned so much and truly enjoyed the connection with our guide. Ricardo was an excellent host. The private tour provided much more comfort and in-depth discussion compared to a larger group tour. Even in the “off-season”, the crowds were substantial at the main destinations and we were able to navigate a lot easier than if we were with a group. We highly recommend this trip with this tour guide.

Excellent Day of Sightseeing!

I really appreciated the advice I received before this tour. It helped me choose the best way to spend our time. My husband and I spent the day with Rui, an excellent tour guide and driver. Very personable, easy to understand, and incredibly knowledgeable. We saw Pena Palace (outside; no way we would’ve stood in the insane line to go inside), then to the town of Sintra for lunch, on to Monserrate Palace (beautiful grounds!) and ended at Cabo da Roca. It was a pleasure to be able to be picked up mid-morning at our hotel and have our own dedicated tour guide and driver.

Worth every penny!

This was absolutely worth every penny we spent!! Pedro G picked us up at our hotel and we had a pleasant drive to Sintra where he explained monuments and history that we passed. We started our Sintra visit off with the local pastry "travesseiro" at Casa Piriquita, a bakery that started in 1862. A delicious way to be welcomed into our day of adventuring. After admiring & learning about the National Palace, we headed to our timed entry into Quinta da Regaleira. Pedro G had great insights into the property's history and how it came to be today. Afterwards, we headed to a delicious Portuguese lunch at Tasca Saloia. We enjoyed local Portuguese "vinho verde" and "chourico" - charred chorizo at your table! This gave us plenty of energy to tackle the Pena Palace - which Pedro G navigated for us wonderfully. We ended our day with extra time at Cascais, since weather prevented an enjoyable trip to Boca do Inferno. In addition to the wonderful sights & tastes of this small slice of Portugal, Pedro G was an excellent tour guide with great insights, patience with our many questions, and pleasant company on our tour. After watching very large, slightly impersonal tour groups around Sintra - we were so thankful to have our friend Pedro G showing us around! We cannot recommend this tour's value highly enough. Obrigado!

Great!

Best way to explore Sintra in a short time. Our guide Daniela was excellent and made it a very smooth experience. All logistics were taken care of comfortably. Both castles are beautiful. Sintra center was also a joy, there we walked both ways to the small castle at the end, which was really worth it.

Book with Miguel!

If you’re visiting Portugal and planning to explore the country, you absolutely need to book with Miguel! He was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and thorough from start to finish. From the moment we booked our full-day Sintra tour, Miguel was on top of everything, communicating with us to confirm all the details, including our start time and pickup location. Once the tour began, he was fantastic! He shared so much knowledge, history, and fun facts about every location we visited or passed along the way, making the entire experience that much more enjoyable. As an added bonus, you also get your own personal photographer! Miguel made sure our entire group got amazing photos at all the best photo spots, so we could capture the memories together. He also seemed to know everyone at each stop, which allowed us to bypass the lines and make the most of our time. It was clear that Miguel had put a lot of thought into every little detail, from the order of the itinerary to finding ways to minimize unnecessary walking. Everything was so well planned, allowing us to see as much as possible while making the day feel seamless and stress-free. I truly cannot recommend Miguel enough! If you’re coming to Portugal, do yourself a favor and book a tour with him. You won’t regret it! I will 100% be booking with Miguel again on my next visit to Portugal!

The half day Sintra tour...

The half day Sintra tour is the perfect overview if you want to get a snapshot of Sintra and its history. Bruno is super knowledgeable and we only scratched the surface of what he had to offer! He gives you the most important facts and makes it easy to remember the key facts but can just as easily any burning questions you might have.

A Great tour guide elevates the experience

It does involve uphill and downhill walking to and from the Pena Palace, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Bernardo was a very knowledgeable, accommodating and pleasant tour guide. He was extremely well informed about every aspect of the Palace, but he was also succinct and could clearly elucidate his thoughts.

Full day tour of Sintra and Cascais: On and Off the Beaten Path

Vasco pulled out all the stops on this private tour. He owns the tour company Cazzulu Travel at Cazzulu.com which specializes in these tours as well as all types of travel experiences and trip planning in Portugal and Spain especially finding ways to highlight places not seen by tourists. He is amazingly knowledgeable and his passion shows through as he taught us about the history and culture. He lives in Sintra with his family so during our all day tour he not only seemed to know everyone, but he is a local and he knew the back ways and shortcuts. He took us to a most delicious restaurant for lunch with locals. He was very accommodating.. We certainly hope to work with him again.

Sintra is a must see

We had a fabulous day visiting Sintra. Jorge picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon and we drove us to Sonya. On the way he pointed out sights and the history around them. The weather was very misty, so we didn’t have great views but that didn’t dampen our experience. Jorge was very helpful with navigating the tour experience at Pena castle and we loved our time viewing the exterior and the amazing grounds. Next to the village of Sintra for lunch and shopping. All in all a very wonderful experience!!

Excellent Half Day Tour of Sintra

Excellent tour with Diogo as our guide. He is funny and fun and has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area. We saw a bit of everything, driving through the forest, beaches and small towns and finishing the tour at the Pena Palace. Would recommend this tour.

A Full Sintra Day

Hugo was an incredible guide and took great care of my wife and I as he escorted us around Sintra. He knew all the tricks and ways to get us to the front of every line and really squeeze as much as we could out of the experience. He's very knowledgable and was able to answer all of our questions along the way. He picked us right up at our agreed location and dropped us right back where we started with no fuss and made the whole thing seamless. He even snapped photos of us along the way. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants a highly bespoke experience that feels truly specialized and private.
