A must when in Lisbon

Larry_C, Jun 2025

I booked a private tour with Gilberto to explore Sintra and the stunning coastline near Lisbon, and it was truly one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The ride was comfortable and stylish in a spotless Mercedes, the company was fantastic, and Gilberto’s knowledge of the area’s history and culture added so much depth to the day. His passion, professionalism, and warm personality made it feel like I was traveling with a friend who just happened to be a local expert. If you’re looking for an unforgettable and personalized tour, Gilberto is the one to book!

Fantastic Tour & Guide for a visit to Magical Sintra. Just Book it!

Stephen_W, Jun 2024

Anyone thinking of booking this tour should definitely do it. Gilberto is a fantastic guide he is kind, thoughtful and ensures you make the most of every minute. As a resident of Lisbon all his life he has a wealth of information and us full of interesting facts on the history and culture of the area. Our experience was amazing! We first visited Quinta da Regaleira which was stunning and like something from a fairytale. Next we visited Monserrate Palace with its beautiful gardens and stunning interiors and then onwards to Pena Palace which was beautiful. We finished the day with a browse around the beautiful historic town of Sintra followed by a drive back to Lisbon via Cascais and the coast. I honestly cannot fault a single thing, Gilberto took care of the purchase of our tickets. He was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. It was so comfortable being driven in his Tesla. It's obviously very important to him that you enjoy the experience and that really shows. Thank you Gilberto for making our day so special. 🙏

Top day

Gilberto Ferreira gave us a very safe and comfortable drive in his beautiful Tesla. He gave very clear explanations and told interesting stories about the various places we visited around Cascais and the fascinating Sintra area. Gilberto planned out the day very well so that it flowed smoothly. He organised various tickets and thoughtfully provided a picnic lunch. With his expert knowledge of Portugal and excellent English, he was able to answer any question and engage in many interesting conversations during the day. We thank Gilberto for going “above and beyond” in providing a top quality tourist experience to us. If you want a trouble free private tour around Lisbon, we would not hesitate to recommend Gilberto Ferreira and his Special Interlude tourist business.

Perfect day in Sintra!

Robert_T, Oct 2023

Gilberto was absolutely amazing! Prior to our arrival in Lisbon he contacted us and we discussed what we wanted to see while in Sintra and the surrounding area. On the day of the trip, he promptly met us at our hotel at the agreed time and we were on our way to Sintra. We started off with the Palace of Pena and Moorish Castle, where Gilberto accompanied us and provided background and history on what we were seeing. He wasn't walking in front of us and and reciting a fixed script, but actually paying attention to what you are stopping and looking at and providing some additional detail. After the first two stops, we had a quick break at the car and Gilberto provided water and light snacks if we desired. After that we visited Quinta da Regaleira (we did this one solo as there is nowhere to park and thus Gilberto had to stay with the car). We rounded out our visit in Sintra with a visit to the Palace of Monserrate. Definitely do not skip Monserrate as it was the best gardens and location in my opinion. We had another quick break for a light lunch (which was also provided by Gilberto) and then headed out to coast and with two quick stops and then back to Lisbon. Overall the trip was a complete delight and I would highly recommend Gilberto to anyone else looking to do Sintra without all the hassle of dealing with the buses and headaches associated. 10 out of 10
