Unforgettable day
Rodrigo, our guide, was fabulous! He picked us and the other couple on the tour early so we could beat the heavy tourist lines for the Pens Palace. Gave us great history, culture and interesting facts as we travelled. The gardens at the palace were the biggest surprise and he took extra time in them because of the interest of all four guests. Similar individualized treatment at the Moorish Castle. Before the stops at Sintra and Cascais he gave us suggestions for restaurants, etc. he also took us to a lookout most guides would not be aware of, could see the Portuguese coast 180 degrees from up high-stunning view. Overall a very good tour, highly recommend it and Rodrigo.

A great day with a great guide.
From the moment we met our guide Sarah, her smile set the tone for
the day. Sarah was very professional, knowledgeable and a fun person to spend 6 hours with. She was our photographer and had patience when we wanted to stop. On our way home from Sintra to Lisbon Sarah went out of her way to find a olive oil dispenser that we had been looking for but could not locate.
She is known as the purple guide. Once you meet her you will understand.
This tour was amazing because Sarah made it amazing.

Intimate & Informative Experience
All I can say is the guide was amazing, attentive, knowledgeable and entertaining. This was a highlight of my trip. Been traveling all over Europe this month and I have to say this tour was the best one so far. Small group so it was very intimate. Was nice seeing the sites and learning the history (I knew nothing before so it was very informative). I traveled with my mom who has some walking issues and the guide was very accommodating.
He also takes great photos and has great recommendations!

Pedro was an excellent guide with a ton of informations and history on the sites. He made sure to give us time, offer to take pictures at good photo op sites and made it fun. I’m glad I booked the 4 hour time frame and nothing longer, this was plenty to see it all and not be rushed. And it’s a lot of hills as usual in this area! Pedro gave us breaks while he explained things, and in the shade for our hot day. Both Pena Palace and Regaleira were great to see and glad I included on this trip to Lisbon

Great Day in Sintra & Caiscas with Bruno!
Bruno is an outstanding tour guide/driver. He was quick to reply when planning our day for 4 people and buying tickets for Pena Palacio & Regalaria (which sells out quickly). He is from the area and so knowledgeable of the history of Portugal. This really is the only way to navigate the large crowds and really cover all the areas we wanted to see. He set up a delicious lunch in Caiscas -one of our favorite meals. Bruno is so kind and you can tell he enjoys sharing his knowledge and culture with others, including some wonderful pastries. He even gave us suggestions for our next stop in Porto. Obrigada, Bruno! You made our trip so memorable!

Sintra Tour
My family toured Sintra with Miguel. He was a fantastic tour guide. He got to know the family's interests very quickly and recommended the best sites for the day. He was able to identify areas for each of them for the best sights and photos. We highly recommend this tour and Miguel as a guide.

Majestic Sintra Half Day Tour (with kids)
George was such a lovely tour guide. On our way up, he shared some interesting highlights about Portugal and the area we were visiting. He dropped us off very close to the entrances of the places we were going to visit and took into account that we were traveling with young kids ( 2.5 yrs old and a 7 yrs old). His ability to adjust our day based on our family’s needs was greatly appreciated.
He recommended touring the outside of Pena Palace and then walking down along Route 2 (blue), which turned out to be a great recommendation. He also brought us to downtown Sintra, where we had plenty of time to enjoy lunch, the view, and buy some souvenirs.
George went above and beyond by taking us to Belém to try the famous Pastéis de Belém. He was sweet, warm, and friendly throughout the entire day. We had a wonderful time and truly appreciated everything he did to make our experience so enjoyable!

Our tour with Sofia was fantastic; she is passionate about her job and takes you along for the ride to discover Sintra and all the interesting and beautiful surprises that it delivers. She planned the tour so that we could avoid the crowds and organised lunch at a very secluded peaceful setting. 💯 recommend going on this tour with Sofia, you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I and...
My husband and I and another couple had a lovely tour of Sintra with Leo. He lived in the community and his pride and love for the area was obvious. Leo included a tour of some of the neighborhoods so we got a feel for living in the area and it wasn’t just a churches and monuments flyby. Great afternoon.

Perfect tour
We had a good time, our guide Marta was very helpful, knowledgeable, organized & very accommodating to our walking speed being “seniors” 👍She even brought us to Cabo de Roca even though it was not in our itinerary. Excellent job, highly recommended 👏👏👏
