Fascinating Day!!

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.

A Short Stopover in Sintra!

We stopped in Sintra between stays in Coimbra and Lisbon. We did not have much time but hired Caio for a private tuk tuk tour. Caio picked us up right by the train station, took care of storing our luggage, and gave us a great tour of the area. We saw the gorgeous vegetation, the castles and the coastal area. Caio was knowledgeable, kind and paid attention to our schedule. He also made the extra effort to get our luggage and us back to the train station on time. Highly recommend this private tour with Caio!

Miguel was a great guide....

Miguel was a great guide. Picked us up at our hotel, accompanied us to Pena Palace, took photos for us, then took us into Sintra where we had a nice lunch and explored the town before returning to Lisbon. Guides can park very close to the entrance, so we avoided the crowded buses. Be sure to get your Palace tickets in advance (not included in tour). We chose not to tour the Palace interior and were happy with that decision (extremely long lines to get into the palace on a Wed morning despite the "timed entry", and apparently many rooms were closed).

Amazing personal tour !

We are so happy we booked this tour. Diogo was friendly and took the time to show us ALL around Sintra. We absolutely loved it. The car he picked us up in was clean and open top to enjoy the sun and views. He picked us up right on time. We got to see the sights at a relaxed pace, and he let us get out and take some great pics at the sights. Diogo was proud of being born and raised in Sintra and has a load of knowledge to share about his town. His English is great and we laughed, sang, and had a great time throughout the day. When the tour was over, he offered to drop us in the middle of town so we could explore and gave us some great places to check out before we went on our way back to Lisbon. I totally recommend you book this tour. 5 star!! A must if you are going to Sintra!

Lisbon Area Tour-perfect

It was exactly what we were looking for. We had a wonderful experience. Bruno was very knowledgeable about the cities and his country as well as proud. He was very friendly, funny and just felt like a family member. We had my 87 yo healthy mom, and husband and myself. He accommodated our needs, changed things up and gave us options. He recommended a wonderful local place for lunch in Cascais. One of the best days of our 7 days of our 18 day trip. We would use him again and recommend him to anyone. Thank you Bruno for a memorable experience. We saw Pena Palace, Sintra downtown, Cascais light house on cliffs and downtown and a little of Lisbon. All with unique characteristic's.

A day of learning!

We had an amazing time with Nuno because he knew the best way for us to have the best experience by taking it in the Back way Sintra We’d love the gardens and spent a little time in the castle, but really enjoyed our walk around the gardens, then he took us to a lovely café for some pastries that were local to Sintra and then on our way back we went to Peña, which was quite beautiful and he spoke of the history of Lisbon. I knew much about the surrounding area that made it very educational and wonderful experience. We strongly recommend this tour.

Our favorite tour in Lisbon!!

We are so happy that we had Bruno as a tour guide. He communicated with us prior to our trip and was always responsive to my emails and texts. We were very comfortable and felt safe with his driving through the day. His knowledge of the history of Portugal and willingness to answer our many questions, including talking to us about a typical family's daily life in Portugal, was greatly appreciated. Most importantly, my son and I know that we have a friend here when we return. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone! Thanks Bruno!
