Covered sites as expected. Overall a pleasant day. Knowledgeable of area. Organized and on time. Our tour dd run until about 6 pm, but I think our group slowed us down.

This was a great tour. Paulo was funny and quite amazing - walking with us everywhere. Be warned - there is a lot of walking uphill. If you have problems with that I would suggest you find another tour. We were fine with it and Paulo walked slow so we could all catch up with him. Paulo bypassed all the huge lineups and we got in quite quickly to all the castles and sites. Was an epic tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you had an epic tour and that Paulo’s humor, pacing, and line-skipping skills made the day so amazing. We also appreciate your helpful warning about the uphill walking for future guests. Hope to welcome you back soon

Guide was very knowledgable and great to be with. Boost tours equipment was awful!!! Showed up with a van that had been side swiped, non working door, mirror torn off and cracked windshield. Waited an hour for another van that wouldn't start half the time and had electrical issues! Then had to wait abother galf hour during day to get van checked out as clutch was slipping! Nine hour tour took 11 hours!
The guide tried to make up for it, but it was a hopeless situation. Worst tour I have ever been on!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you appreciated our guide's knowledge and efforts, but we sincerely apologize for the unacceptable vehicle issues and delays.While we did our very best to dispatch a replacement van as quickly as possible to save your day, we deeply regret that the technical problems continued and ruined your experience. Safety and vehicle maintenance are our top priorities, and we are investigating this with our fleet team to ensure it never happens again.

This tour was awesome - the perfect amount of sights and activity for a full day without being completely exhausted at the end. Our guide, Joao, was knowledgeable, fun, and considerate. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much! We're thrilled you loved the perfect pace of our tour and that Joao's fun, considerate, and knowledgeable guidance made your day so special. We truly appreciate the high recommendation and hope to see you again soon
Matthew_S, May 2026
The Palaces were spectacular and so different from others I’ve seen. Beautiful scenes at the other 2 stops. Some walking on hills/steps is needed especially to get to Pena Palace but very doable. Vasco was great and so nice. My son and I had a great tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for the great review! We're happy that you and your son loved the spectacular palacesand Vasco's excellent guidance. We appreciate your helpful note about the hills and steps, and we're glad you found it very doable. It was a pleasure hosting you!
laura_h, May 2026
Not the best tour we have taken, which was disappointing because this was the tour I was really looking forward to. The guide was newer and has some learning to do, seemed to make sure his day was comfortable, not so much the paying customers. The guide was late and the agenda was flipped so we did not get to enjoy CaisCais as most stores and restaurants were closed in the early morning. We had planned to leave the tour at the end of the day there and take the train back to Lisbon so that was not possible. This tour is also a lot of steep uphill-downhill walking so be prepared!! The sites are worth seeing but it was I was not impressed with our day.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We are truly sorry that this tour disappointed you and fell short of your expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for the guide's delay and the itinerary change that disrupted your plans for Cascais. We have already addressed this with our operations team to ensure our guide receives the proper training. Thank you for your feedback about the steep terrain, and we truly hope to have another chance to provide the high-quality experience you deserve.

Excellent overall tour to see several of the highlights in Portugal. Our guide, Joao, made the trip extra special with his extensive knowledge, humor, and affability! Well-paced tour with plenty of free time!

So much fun! Mario our tour guide was excellent. We got great recommendations, not a rushed experience, and interesting facts about the places we went! Highly recommend. The small group was perfect for this. Everyone on the tour was so kind and easy to talk to!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
What a fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear you had so much fun and that the small group setup created such a wonderful, friendly atmosphere.

Kim_B, May 2026
I Would highly recommend the small tour (8 of us in an air conditioned van) we left at 8 am & returned at 5:30. We visited Sintra, Cais Cais,
Regaleira & Pena Palace.
Carlos, our guide was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable, interesting, friendly & helpful!
It was a long day but great value!

Paolo was our driver and he was terrific! Very informative but also warm and personable. I can’t say enough about him! He was very engaging and fun to be with.
The trip itself was well planned with a mix of free time and guided tours. And the sites we saw were just stunning. If you are planning to go to Sintra, do not attempt it on your own - go with someone who knows what they are doing. Our tour was a full day and included four stops, all of which were stunning. All-in-all - a great day.
Ineabelle_R, May 2026
Mario was an outstanding tour guide during our Viator tour to Sintra, Portugal. He was patient, an excellent driver, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Mario was also very knowledgeable about the history of Sintra and shared fascinating information throughout the tour. His friendly attitude and professionalism made the trip truly memorable. We highly recommend Mario to anyone visiting Portugal!
Jodi_C, May 2026
Great tour but expect a lot of walking (up hill and downhill). Sintra is so beautiful. Our guide (Ines) was the best! She's very friendly, speaks clear English and knows the history of all the sites we visited. We really enjoyed our time with her. She made it a special day for us.
Anne_C, May 2026
Our small group tour with Vasco was fabulous! My favorite place of all was the Regaleira, so pretty and such an unusual history. Shout out to a bar/bistro called Lord Byron in Sintra. Small but great vibe.. I would highly recommend Vasco for this tour. He is knowledgable about everywhere we went, and had a confident, fun and positive demeanor.
anp, May 2026
Beautiful and interesting locations. Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and cordial.
Prepare to walk, wear comfortable shoes
Mark_D, May 2026
Guide was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. A PA system in the van would have allowed others in the back of the van to hear descriptions when driving.
wshefner, May 2026
Strenuous many hills with incline and stairs. Van was clean and comfortable. Thomas was knowledgeable,friendly and helpful.
Phil_L, Apr 2026
Check your pick up time, even on day of trip! ours was changed by 20 mins earlier at 7am in the morning. We were due at 8am be there 10 mins earlier. We were there and the pickup van went. They did try to phone but my phone was on silent. So fortunately we then realised, and our WhatsApp chat we were in touch with company, who said meet at this point. We had to get a taxi very quickly which cost us 8 euro. It wasn't the drivers fault but the company's . 20 mins makes all the difference at that time in the morning. We were rushing to get a coffee and bit of breakfast so didn't even look at my phone. Once we were with the party, we had a fab day. Lots of walking involved on this day. Vasco our driver was very pleasant, told us lots of history. Glad we did a trip, rather than doing it ourself as was quite spread out. Cascais was a beautiful place. Loved the palaces. The well and tunnels we enjoyed. Sinatra Palace just outside was fab. Great day
Diana_C, Apr 2026
Sintra was amazing! Understanding the symbolism of the palace took the experience to the next level!
The guide was very knowledgeable and informative.
Steven_D, Apr 2026
Great experience and lots to see. Lengthy day with lots of walking, but well worth it.
We were disappointed, as this was to be an “English speaking tour”. Yet one couple spoke only French and the other Polish only. I feel bad for the Polish couple and additional time was required to inform the French couple. Not what was advertised or scheduled.
Lisa_G, Apr 2026
Our day long tour with Expert/Excellent Tour Guide Alexandre Ovidio with Boost Lisbon, was amazing in every way. Alex met us promptly at the meeting point, with a comfortable, clean van. Upon departure for our tour, he described in detail what our day's plan entailed, how much time we'd expect to spend at each historic site and he was always very clear as to meet up times/locations after any free time during the day. He is very knowledgeable of Portuguese history as well as European history and an excellent and entertaining communicator. It was very apparent that Alex truly cares about the quality and enjoyment of his tours. He truly goes the extra mile for his clients.
Linda_K, Apr 2026
Driver was 30 minutes late. He then rushed us through the first two stops on the tour, because we would not make it to the timed entry.
Jaime_R, Apr 2026
Excellent trip. Andre was a great guide - very nice, helpful and attentive. The only delta was not having tickets to enter in Pena Palace, but I understand there were external issues preventing this to happen.
Patricia_S, Apr 2026
Tomas showed our small group a lovely day exploring two memorable locations on the east coast of Portugal and Sintra. Our thoughtful guide did an excellent job navigating a busy, popular tourist destination (Pena palace) and helping us find delicious lunch places as well. We loved Quinta da Regaleira-not to be missed!
josemalvarez647attne, Apr 2026
We had an exceptional guide, Andre from Boost Portugal. We were a small group, my wife and I, and a single traveler from
Spain. He was fluent in both English and Spanish and was very knowledgeable of the sites we visited. Also, used our time together very effectively. Would highly recommend.
Sharon_M, Mar 2026
We enjoyed our day in Sintra and trip to Cascais. However, it was a very long day. It was enjoyable to be with other travelers and our guide did a fine job of sharing the history of what we were seeing. Know that there is a lot of walking and climbing stairs on this tour. Enjoyed having 90 minutes on our own in Sintra to explore and have lunch.
KarenAnne_P, Mar 2026
This is a fantastic trip as you visit Pena Palace, Regaleira, Cabo do Roca and Cascais in one unrushed day from Lisbon. Our guide Madeleine was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave us a good tip on where to have lunch!
