Excellent tour. Ricardo was a wonderful tour guide. He took great care of us and was very knowledgeable. Our schedule was relaxed enough that we had as much time as we needed at each location. Thanks Ricardo!

    Wonderful tour. We loved each of the stops and the tour guide, Isabelle, was so knowledgeable! We loved this tour!

    Best tour yet

    Jorge_B, Apr 2026
    Isabel, our guide, was exceptional in every aspect of the trip. Her kind, jovial, helpful, knowledgeable demeanor made our trip memorable. Every site we visited was amazing, she maximized every minute of the day. Very well planned and executed.

    Tour of our Lives

    Mark_G, Apr 2026
    This was an amazing experience. Ricardo was our host and guide and he was beyond excellent! Having a small group of five was like having a private tour. Ricardo has a wealth of knowledge about Portugal and its diverse history. The van was very comfortable and a full day of touring seemed so relaxing. If you are coming to Lisbon then I would highly recommend Ricardo and his tour of Sintra.

    Enjoying experience

    Ana_P, Apr 2026
    Had a wonderful half day excursion to Cascais, Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Pena Palace. Can't say enough how knowledgeable and pleasant was Ricardo as a guide. Imersive experience walking around charming towns of Cascais and Sintra. Cabo da Roca, a great place to relax a bit and watch waves hit the stones. Pena Palace above Sintra was also amazing with lush greenery and eclectic architecture. Would recommend this experience to everyone. Also, be prepared for a little bit of walking, wasn't exhausting, we had enough time for our own pace to explore.

    Stephen_B, Apr 2026
    Good eay to some of the major highlights of Portugal. This route muvh better handled by a local versus trying to do yourself.Tour guide Issbel was fantastic, she knows the ropes, was very congenial, and a good driver.

    Great day trip to see more of Lisbon!

    Alethea_J, Apr 2026
    It was a great way to see a couple small towns of Lisbon. Comfortable van that held 7 of us and the guide. Isabelle was our guide and she was very informative and pleasant. The first two stops we were on our own to look around with her guidance of what we might be interested in. Our last stop was the Pena Palace and she accompanied us into the palace and around which was very helpful! Make sure you wear comfortable “sneakers” and bring a light jacket (if not Summer). Much cooler at the Palace than we were expecting. I do think more time in Sintra would be a nice addition. However, I would still recommend this day trip to see more diverse side of Lisbon outside of downtown.

    Full day tour.

    If I could give this less...

    Robin_L, Mar 2026
    If I could give this less than one star. Our tour was cancelled the night before the tour. We were not texted or called to be informed. They sent us a cancellation in an email literally hours before the tour was to begin while we were asleep. Almost ruined a day of our vacation. We were able to scramble together another tour not with Viator that morning of the tour. I will never book with Viator again! Save yourself and book with someone else.

    Amazing Trip to Pena Palace

    Kristina_E, Mar 2026
    We had the best time with Isabelle! She was super knowledgeable and friendly. She made us feel welcome and we were able to completely explore when out of the car on our own so that it wasn't always a group adventure. She was able to take our picture throughout the time with her and she even was able to accommodate us by dropping us off by our hotel after! 10/10 recommend this for anyone wanting to see it all in a day!

    Our tour guide, Ricardo...

    Felicia_P, Mar 2026
    Our tour guide, Ricardo was the best. He was so patient with us and really allowed us to explore the places. Unfortunately, the day we went, it was extremely rainy and windy. Make sure you pick a good weather day.

    Great trip! Would skip in the winter though!

    Rachel_B, Dec 2025
    I probably would not go in December again due to the weather. Overall we enjoyed this day trip with Ricardo to Sintra and Cascáis. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Lisbon and his country in general. He was a great guide to have! I wish we had more time in Sintra though because we only had time for lunch, didn’t get to explore the town. I’m obsessed with Pena Palace and would definitely go back!

    Bruno was just awesome...

    Cheri_K, Nov 2025
    Bruno was just awesome and such a joy all day. We learned so much history and more. We had quite the downpour and, we felt very safe with his driving. He was so considerate with us walking and not slipping or getting too wet as we are older. He showed us so much and, it was hard to say goodbye!

    Great experience

    Donghui_Z, Oct 2025
    It was a great tour with - small group of 5. We had a great time at Cascais, Cape de Roca and Pena palace. Ricardo is a great guy. We really enjoyed the lunch at the restaurant he recommended in Sintra. The only hiccup was the meeting point. It was at the entrance of the Train station but all of us went across the street because there were many groups of tour people. So please text Ricardo before the tour to conform

    Sintra

    It was an amazing experience, Beautiful views of the mountains and ocean at the Cabo da Roca. The palace is a spectacular! Our guide , bruno was fun, outgoing and very knowledgeable. He was generous with time in allowing us to explore the sites at our leisure. He was fabulous. A must tour!

    Great Experience

    Robert_G, Oct 2025
    Ricardo is a fantastic tour guide. Great personality, knowledgeable, and very helpful. One of the best small group tours I have ever been on. Definitely would recommend if you want to get out of the hustle and bustle of Lisbon and see some different natural and historic beauty.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you! You were a great group 😉 always welcome 😊

    Spectacular

    Herminio_B, Sep 2025
    Well organized would highly recommend this to anybody everybody should have this experience and try doing this because the detail and histories unbelievable

    Amazing full day tour in Portugal!!

    Kim_S, Aug 2025
    This experience was amazing. It was the perfect mix of structured touring and free time to explore. Ricardo was THE BEST, fun, friendly and knowledgeable. His grasp of Portuguese history was impressive and due to this we were mesmerized by the history lesson during the Pena Palace Tour. We had free time in Cascais as well as Sintra and Cabo Da Roca.

    Great day tour to see more of Portugal….especially for a short vacation

    Judith_K, Aug 2025
    Enjoyed this tour very much. The scenery at Cabo da Roca is breathtaking and beautiful. Stops at each location is adequate. I appreciated the walk through Cascais….lovely community. I appreciated the shopping time and good restaurants in Sintra. The walk up to Pena Palace was taxing but was worth it.

    Full day of history and everything Portugal has to offer

    belindasloat, Jul 2025
    A full day of Portuguese history. Daniel who is the owner operator gave us a detailed and thorough explanation of Portugal’s history to include the last monarchy, regional beaches, Lisbon history and much more. We stopped at a family owned restaurant where everything was handmade and the owner was a certified sommelier. There is too much to name, you just have to do it yourself to get the same rich experience that our family had. Highly, highly recommend this tour.

    Ricardo was very...

    Sabrina_G, Jun 2025
    Ricardo was very professional, our trip was very relaxing and safe. We had enough free time to enjoy Sintra and the Peña Palace guided tour was worth the day trip. Highly recommended!

    Great Day

    Richie_M, May 2025
    We had a very full day filled with fun, laughter and a little bit of learning. Isabel is a wonderful guide.

    Wonderful tour outside of Lisbon! Ricardo gave us the perfect amount of information without overloading us with details. He also provided door-to-door service which was greatly appreciated!

    Ricardo was excellent

    Thomas_F, Feb 2025
    Amazing, Ricardo was a great tour guide. Very helpful and very, very knowledgeable. Great history lesson and fun

    Great tour!!

    Martha_S, Nov 2024
    This was a great tour! We considered just taking the train from Lisbon and doing Sintra and the palace on our own - I’m so glad we decided not to take that option. Instead we had a comfortable van take us directly to the palace (otherwise you have to take a separate bus after the train) and our driver walked us through the palace and told us all about it. He also made recommendations on where to eat and shop in town. We also loved Cascais and Cabo de Roca which we would have missed on our own. The driver was very friendly and informative, answering all our questions. We had just the right amount of free time in each place. I highly recommend this tour!

    Great tour!

    Skye_M, Oct 2024
    Did this tour solo and I’m so happy I did. It was lovely to spend a day out of Lisbon while learning the history. Ricardo is a fantastic guide!

    An amazing tour with the best guide who also is a wonderful person

    Kseniia_K, Sep 2024
    I went on a tour with Ricardo in June 2024. There were three of us on the tour: two other tourists and I. Ricardo organized an amazing tour: we saw and learned a lot. After the tour, I had to go to the hospital due to an unexpected necessity occurred for me. Ricardo drove me there, though he wasn't obliged to do that since the tour was already over. Moreover, Ricardo was ready to come and visit the hospital with me to help me there as I don't speak Portuguese. It's incredible. Ricardo is not only an excellent guide, but also a very kind and helpful person.
