Lots and lots of stairs
Sintra has many tourists. I found a different tour (Evora) more satisfying. Although I did enjoy Cascais very much. The tour guide (Miguel) on today's tour was wonderful and knowledgeable. The lunch was great
Luis was Very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond. Luis navigated around obstacles such as the Ironman in Cascais but i sure we still got there and Capo da Roca.
Excellent tour and guide. Patric was fantastic. We only had 8 people on our tour which was great. The sites are, well, spectacular. Pickup and drop off 2 minutes from our Airbnb. Well worth it.
Great experience. Very knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide. Worth every penny. Highly recommend.
What an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Sintra, Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais!
Our tour guide, Bernardo, was simply fantastic! From beginning to end, he made our day truly memorable. He was incredibly pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history and interesting stories about every place we visited.
What made Bernardo especially wonderful was his great sense of humor! He kept us entertained and laughing throughout the day while making sure we enjoyed every moment of our adventure.
It’s not every day you meet a guide who combines professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, and humor so effortlessly. Bernardo truly made an already beautiful experience even more special.
I wholeheartedly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Bernardo as your guide, you’re in for a treat!
Thank you, Bernardo, for such a fantastic and unforgettable day in Portugal! 🇵🇹❤️
Had a wonderful day. Visited many small towns and castles and had a nice lunch. Davide is a very knowledgeable tour guide and clearly enjoys his job which makes the entire experience fun for everyone on the tour.
Exceptional , if you’re in Lisbon I would highly recommend this day tour . Our guide’s knowledge of the Sintra, Cascai, the Pena Palace and everything in between was incredible , small group tour which made it so much more enjoyable and the luncheon was delicious and very well priced with plenty of vegetarian options, on the set menu
They book a lunch with a fixed price menu. No other choices around. They need to put that in trip description so travelers are aware of this mandatory extra charge.
This guided tour was the highlight of our trip!! Everything was seamless from start to finish and our tour guide patrik gave us the best experience. 10/10 would recommend this tour. Was truly sad when the day ended!!
Everything Was amazing! The tour guide, the places, the lunch, not a single complaint, they do a really good job at explaining each history of the each castle and the views were amazing!
We had a great day with Hugo. He picked us up right from our hotel, and the vehicle was a very comfortable ride. He kept a constant commentary on relevant information about the places we visited that was both informative and fun to listen to. In the first couple of stops in Sintra, we arrived early enough to miss the crowds, or were among the first in line. The sites on this day trip are very beautiful, and the 3-course lunch was at a restaurant that served delicious Portuguese choices. Definitely a good choice for our day trip outside Lisbon!
The tour covers all the things to see in Sintra, with a small group and in a comfortable minivan. Our guide, Patrik, was excellent - fun, knowledgeable and flexible, which made the tour all the more enjoyable. Thank you Patrik for a lovely day!!!
We had a really excellent time learning about the history of Portugal and seeing some incredible landmarks of the peninsula - definitely got our steps in. Luis was a fantastic guide and group leader; highly recommended!
Outstanding tour with an experienced, knowledgeable guide, Luis Silva. I'm so glad I booked this. I saw and experienced and learned so much more that I ever could have going on my own. It's an all-day commitment - about ten hours, but well worth it. The only complaint I would offer is that the van used to drive us around seemed too small for the number of people. Also, the van's A/C was having problems on the way back, which meant things got stuffy for those of us sitting in back rows. I imagine the operators got that fixed right away!
We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, Cabo da Roca and Cascais!
A special thanks to our fantastic tour guide, Patrik, who was not only an excellent driver but also a friendly, knowledgeable and professional tour leader. He knew exactly where to bring us for the best views and photo spots, making the entire journey smooth, enjoyable and memorable.
The scenery was breathtaking, and every stop was worth visiting. Patrik's thoughtful planning and great hospitality made the experience even more special.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting Lisbon! Thank you, Patrik, for such an amazing and unforgettable day! 😊
Patrik is absolutely AMAZING! What a wonderful tour! He’s a wonderful guide! Extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous!
Wouldn’t change a thing. The restaurant he took took us to was fantastic! Even with ALL the chaos of the Iron Man competition in Cascais, he gave us a complete
tour! We will never forget our
amazing tour of Sintra, Pena Palace and Cascais!
Take care Patrik! You are an amazing guide and human! Julie & Enid.
It was an amazing tour. Tiago was excellent in his explanations of the places we visited. He was on time for pick up and did not rush us in each place. The special Portuguese pastries for morning tea and the Portuguese lunch were delicious and not to be missed. If you have a day in Lisbon, I would highly recommend this tour!
Amazing full day of sightseeing. Gets you out of Lisbon for castles and ocean views. Very fun tour would recommend
We had a wonderful time. Just be known it’s quite walk to the Palace Nacional de Sintra. If you have trouble walk we recommend the shuttle.
A full day excursion from Sintra to the Cascais with beautiful stops in Pena de Regaleira, Cabo de Roca and a beautiful lunch. Wear comfortable shoes, be prepared to walk and climb a bit and bring a light water proof jacket in the event Sintra is misty. It's a beautiful full day that I give a 100% recommendation to.
Great tour. Definitely a full day and great way to see Sintra, Pena palace and Quinta da Regaleira and Cascais. Good mix of guided touring and free time to explore.
Bernardo was an excellent guide and we had a great time! Appreciated the local knowledge he shared and the timeline for the day
Bernardo was a great guide and an excellent host. He was very informative and accommodating to the group. Obregado
Magical! Lots of walking on uneven ground with steep cobblestone streets, but well worth the effort!
Our guide, Lago was very informative and made the experience fun!
Overall the tour was good. But despite early pickup at 7.25 am there was too much time 1.5 hours wasted at the 1st stop - old sintra town where nothing much to see or beibv described about. Nothing to see or do there.
There is too steep climb up and down at quinta castle and Pena palace - so we had opted for the paid couch (round-trip up and down at pena palace) but had to walk down the steep slope in a hurry.. the tour can be more organised for a better experience..
I titled this review "Miguel's Tour" because he takes such great pride and joy in showing these unique sites to everyone and takes such good care of his tour participants. This was a great experience in every way!
I really enjoyed the things we saw and the scenic drive between them. This is a great way to see a lot of Portugal. The tour driver was extremely knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning so much about this area. Also, the food recommendations that were made during the trip were fantastic, I really enjoyed everything.
We had a wonderful experience on our tour with Iago! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful with my elderly mother, making sure she was comfortable and able to enjoy the experience. We visited several beautiful tourist attractions, and Iago shared interesting information along the way.
The tour was also a lot of fun because we got to know the other passengers in our van, which made the day even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely recommend Iago to anyone looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and caring tour guide!
We had an incredible time! Bernardo was a fun, informative and friendly guide, and made sure to get us to the best spots at just the right time to avoid the worst of the crowds. The rest of our group was fantastic as well, which made the day even better. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Beautiful experience, had such a good time. Patrik was incredible and felt like family towards the end of the trip. Highly recommend!
Patrik, if you are reading this: “KEEP MOVING!!” Lol
