If you desire to see Sintra and the surrounding areas you could not do better than this tour. And if you are lucky enough to get Anna as your guide you are in for a treat. Anna knows everything! If you travel to Cabo de Roca be warned! Anna will tell you the surprising facts about this scenic overlook and the dangers. Anna also speaks English very well so you will not have any issues.

We well knew that a 4 hour tour of Sintra, Cabo da Rosa, & Cascais would be a light touch on each place. The driver was safe and polite but there was very little information given on the tour. It was more of a simple car ride from Lisbon to these places and back. Very atypical from what we have experienced on our many Viator tours in many countries. Not sure we can recommend this tour.

I enjoyed that it wasn’t a full day but afforded us the opportunity to see the essentials. The forthcoming nature and knowledge of our guide made it feel quite special

Enjoyed the private tour. Appreciated that our guide; Anna came from and still resides in one of the towns we toured. Got to explore the regions outside the city and the beautiful country side. Would recommend this tour.

Loved the visiting the town of Sintra. The visit to the lighthouse was very scenic. Our guide Diogo, was charming, knowledgeable, very accommodating, and knew his way around. He introduced us to a local pastry that was delicious! Walking was challenging with lots of hills and cobblestone, which was difficult for a few members of the group. Being young, he sometimes underestimated the difficulty which was frustrating at times. Overall, we did have a wonderful time and he showed us some beautiful sites. Even to the end, he was very accommodating, dropping the women in the group back in lisbon in the shopping area and dropping the men back at the cruise ship's dock which was very much appreciated.

There were interesting places to see but we felt our guide either didn’t have a lot of knowledge and experience or he wasn’t particularly interested in giving us a good time!
Nice courteous guy though

We have been on many tours during our travels but our tour with Anna has been by far the best. Anna is the loveliest tour guide you could ever wish for: she’s a great storyteller, her English is perfect, she has a great sense of humour and she is a good driver. It has been so nice to spend half a day with her driving around Sintra, the coast and Cascais and we wished we had booked a full day with her. Thank you so much Anna!

We were totally disappointed. This 4 hour tour was only 2 hours and when it came time to see what is advertised in Viator website we didn’t see anything!! The supposed guide sat in his car and told us to walk for 20 minutes. This happened one time. The guide did not guide at all and we didn’t see any of the sites AT ALL. I was really looking forward to this tour and splurged on a private guided tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
🤔 ...
It was performed by a very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide, that usually follows very well the guests orientation, and also provides all the required information about the places and portuguese History (despite the lack of interest),
This tour took around 3 hours, it was one Mom travelling with two Kids and weren`t they very interested to end the tour fast to be able to go the Hotel Swimpool?
And Mom (also) with a 1 hour tour to Lisbon (on a tuk tuk) booked that costed her 100,00 Euros (and didn`t want to loose it ?).
Aniway...
hope to see you again touring with us

The tour guide was very unenthusiastic and seemed very uninterested, he did not know how to drive stick shift making the drive to places very unenjoyable. The actual places were very pretty but they were really short, the guide made it seem as if he wanted to leave quickly.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hello dear Mari,
Really...?
Group arrived 30 mins late to the tour, guess the guide was a litle bit worried trying to show everything, despite that, ended with more then 30 mins of extra time and his time but...
At least enjoyed the places.
Many thanks for this kind review will help us to improve and make our tours better...
Best wishes

The history behind Sintra is fascinating. Our guide, Goncalvo was excellent at pointing out the many features, even stopping to poo t out his favourite sweet pastry shop. Cabo de Roca was interesting, but Cascais was a pretty little town. Very clean with nice beaches. Overall a very good half day spent!

We really enjoyed our tour with Luis. He was very kind and helpful. He was clear with us about how much time we had at each location and picked us up and dropped us off along the way. It was a great way to see a lot of places and cover a lot of territory in a short amount of time.

We took a half day tour (4 hours) of Cascais, Sintra and Cabo da Roca. We drove to Sintra and our guide gave us time to explore as long as we wanted (up to an hour). Recommended a couple places. We stopped to get a Portuguese pastry that was very good! He was very knowable about the area! Then we went to Cabo da Roca and spent time there. He drove us along the Atlantic coastline and showed us a couple cool places only locals would know about. Also drove to Cascais. Wish we would have stopped to explore a few min in the town of Cascais. Very beautiful area! He did drop us off a a store to buy my husband a new razor. We arrived back at hotel a little early! Overall a great tour!

The best tour for us and just what we wanted! Goncalo was funny, knowledgeable of the area as well as the history of the sights that we saw and very personable. He kept us out of the crowds and moved us along at the perfect pace.
The tour picked us up at our hotel in Cascais and it was just the two of us. The van was comfortable and Goncalo drove us through the narrow streets and traffic professionally.
Since we did not want to enter either the Palaces or the castle, we were more interested in the nature around them, Goncalo walked some trails with us pointing out interesting sights and historical facts.
We were very lucky to see Cabo da Roca and Boca do Inferno on a day when they were most spectacular with storms at sea. We ended up our day at a beautiful oceanside restaurant recommended by Goncalo.
We highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will be able to get Goncalo as your guide!

A ida a Sintra e cabo da roca, embore ache que uma visita destas teria de ter pelo menos mais 1h, o Guia era muito simpático embora talvez pela a falta de tempo poderia ter contado mais sobre o que visitámos.
