Ace experience!

Ace experience! Pedro was very relaxed, organised and knowledgable. He ensured our history questions were answered, and guided us through every nook and cranny of the Quinta da Reguilera! He had years of working there and at Pena palace and it gave a great sense of Portuguese history, identity and myth-making.

Unforgetable!

If you value a thoughtful, knowledgeable and personalized tour of Sintra Portugal this one is for you! Our tour guide Diogo was gracious, and went the extra mile to be sure that our experience was memorable and fun-filled. His responsive texts in advance to arrange transport in a comfortable minivan instead of vintage car, greatly accomodated my tall husband and assured his comfort due to problems walking. This openness to assist us right from the start was very much appreciated and the tour itself was personal and amazing! Diogo was considerate and helpful throughout and we learned so much about the region through his colorful stories and folklore. The narrative was outstanding, complete with historical pictures to give depth and understanding of the rich culture. We laughed, took plenty of pictures, learned a lot and ended with a small keepsake gift of our adventure... a beautiful and generous added touch! I am so very glad that we found the 'Private Local Tour: Palaces & Coast by Classic Car or Jeep' tour company. We truly enjoyed our experience and would not have wanted to tour Sintra any other way!

The ultimate day trip to Porto.

We had an outstanding all-day tour of Porto, and our guide, Filipe, made the experience truly memorable. His knowledge of the city's history, culture, architecture, and local traditions was exceptional, and he shared information in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Filipe was not only incredibly informative but also personable, friendly, and a pleasure to spend the day with. He tailored the experience to our interests, answered every question thoughtfully, and introduced us to many aspects of Porto that we would never have discovered on our own.

Excellent full day tour of Sintra sights and coast

We were skeptical about doing a guided tour for Sintra. My wife and I were going to go on our own via train/bus. But then I read the reviews that spoke so highly of Bruno, and thought it would be nice not to have to worry about any logistics. Turned out there was a transit strike on the day of our tour. So it sure is a good thing we didn’t try to go on our own. Bruno picked us up on time and offered us options to customize the day. I think we ended up doing the standard grouping of activities, and it worked out very well. We saw so much! Being on a private tour all day with someone has the possibility to be weird if you don’t like the tour guide. This was not an issue at all. Bruno is so nice and welcoming and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our time with him. He’s great at his job, and seems like an overall great person. We are very happy we did this tour with him, as we learned a lot and saw a lot - with some short periods of time mixed in to explore the town of Sintra and Cascais on our own. Beautiful! And easy! Don’t overthink it, leave it all to Bruno, see all the highlights, and have a great time.

We will forever remember...

We will forever remember this tour with Francisco!. Francisco was an excellent host, we couldn’t ask for a smoother experience while visiting two palaces, and the coast, and not to mention how knowledgeable he is with historical facts and current workarounds for the at times chaotic tourist attraction areas. This made the experience stress free, highly recommend.

I recommend starting early in the Tesla with Francisco to avoid the crowds. He asked our interests so we had a customized itinerary with plenty of walking, gardens, delicious pastries and lunch, and a variety of palaces. A superb day trip from Lisbon! So gorgeous! Francisco is a safe and knowledgable drive and patient and enthusiastic with all of our questions. Very kind and mellow soul.
