Amy_W, Mar 2026
Our trip to Sintra, Regaleria, and Pena Palace was amazing! The beautiful coastline, gardens and views from top of castle were just magical. Plus our tour guide and driver, Philipe, was so knowledgeable and attentive to our needs, loved his stories along the drive, his depth of knowledge about Pena Castle, both inside and out, plus his recommendations for other areas of Portugal to visit (we will be back). Highly recommend tour with Philipe for a daytrip from Lisbon!!!

Amazing day exploring Portugal!

Sandra_L, Mar 2026
Book this trip! Filipe was a wealth of knowledge on every place we passed by, stopped at and saw. He had wonderful recommendations for places to eat and what we should try. We truly enjoyed our full day of sightseeing of wonderful locations. Highly recommend!

Expert Tour Guide and Awesome Locations

Brian_K, Mar 2026
We had an amazing day in Sintra and Cascais, and Filipe was a great tour guide. He communicated promptly about pickup timing and locations and was incredibly knowledgable about each of the stops along our trip. You could tell our whole group was enjoying the trip, and Filipe was a big part of that. The sites were beautiful, and the length of the trip was perfect—not rushed and not too long. It was a perfect day trip.

Pena Palace , Regaleira, & Cascais

Albert_C, Mar 2026
Our tour director Filipe, was a wealth of knowledge for this tour. He not only instructed us on the area history but personally explained each room in the Pena palace. I thoroughly enjoyed his commentary and would recommend him for future tours.

A must do adventure!!!!

All day tour to Cascais, Sintra and Pena Palace with s stop at Cabo da Roca

Paul_K, Mar 2026
If you don’t mind an all day tour this was an efficient way to see three must see places when you are in Lisbon. From the moment our guide and driver Mauro picked us up at our hotel, we knew we were in for a treat. He was very accommodating and flexible within the framework of the day for the varied tour participants. He was a great storyteller and this skill helped when providing the historical context of the sites visited. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is fit enough to walk the hills.

Amazing day in Portugal

Eric_N, Mar 2026
My wife and I had an amazing time. The views from everywhere we went were spectacular. Easily one of my favorite days of our whole trip. Felipe was also awesome, picked us up at the hotel, had great food recommendations and knew interesting tidbits of all the places we visited.

Loved it!

Melissa_B, Mar 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of all the places we were taken to. It was a wonderful experience we will never forget. We would love to go back to some some day.

Patricia_S, Mar 2026
Mouro, our guide was excellent. He showed such pride in his country and it came through in his presentations. He was polite and kind and allowed us to have a wonderful journey, set at our own pace

Amazing Sintra Experience!

Dave_S, Mar 2026
Our guide Mauro was fantastic! On the drive to Sintra he amazed us with not only his knowledge of Sintra and the Peña Palace but of Portuguese history as well. As a small group of four Mauro was able to guide us through the Peña Palace avoiding the larger crowds but still provide us with an extensive and informative tour. Even though our tour of Quinta de Regaleira was self guided Mauro provided with useful tips that allowed us to make the most our visit. We really appreciated his suggestion for a lunch stop. The food and atmosphere were excellent. Our trip back to Lisbon with stops at Cape Roca and Cascais was a perfect end to a perfect day.

David Was Awesome

Robert_C, Mar 2026
David was an exceptional tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. We've used viator dozens of times, and he was a top 5 guide. In addition, the places we went to were very interesting and well worth seeing.

Book it!

Danielle_D, Mar 2026
We had an amazing all-day experience! Filipe picked us up in his van and drove us to Sintra first, giving us plenty of commentary along the way. After, we went to Sintra village where we explored and grabbed a bite to eat before heading to Cascais, which was truly an incredible town. Filipe was a great guide - very thorough and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for a busy but full day of all the top sites just outside of Lisbon

Superb Tour and guide

Bruce_H, Mar 2026
Our tour guide, David, made our day very enjoyable and educational. He provided a great overview of the history of the places we visited as well as local information about the areas we travelled through on our journey to Pena Palace, Regalaria, Sintra and Cascias. At each place we had some time to ourselves to wander, take photos and explore. David gave good tips on local cuisine and places to eat as well.

supposed to be picked up...

hannah_L, Mar 2026
supposed to be picked up at 7:40 but actually picked up at 8:20 ( No notice!) we sat at front seat with me my husband and driver. can even put my legs down I am wondering if it is not illegal however guide was very knowledgeable and nice that was only reason I gave 2 stars

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Hannah, we welcome every message and review, as helps us grow, when feedback is truthful and reflects the actual experience - but this is not the case. We are glad to see you liked the guide. Apart from that you are not telling the truth: the day of your tour was a rainy day and we sent you a message alerting you that we had a traffic issue and needed 10 more minutes to meet you (we got to your hotel at 8:10, not 8:20). Regarding the seats As per our product we operate small groups of 8 participants, and you sat in the last 2 seats next to the driver, which is legal and common in European mini vans - also as you saw, we operate nice Mercedes Vans, with ample room for your legs. It is therefore sad you are trying to hurt a decent business that delivers the best service daily.

This was an amazing tour,...

George_A, Mar 2026
This was an amazing tour, more so due to our tour guide, David who was so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

Don’t miss Regaleira

Tamara_S, Mar 2026
So this tour was supposed to start at 7:40 but the first passengers to be picked up were not responding so they finally picked us up and then went back for the other 4, personally I think they should have been left behind as this made our morning feel rushed as we had timed entry tickets and had to hurry to get in before our time expired. The driver was very nice and we enjoyed seeing Sintra and Pena Palace, highly recommend adding Regaleira. On our way to Cascais the van broke down but they put us in Ubers to remedy the situation and paid us back and then gave us more time so they could replace the vehicle.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Tamara,, Thank you for your feedback - it is very important to us, as it helps us to deliver the best service continuously. We are delighted to see that you enjoyed our tour. We also understand you would have left the other customers behind, but not us: we avoid leaving anyone behind - this is a small group tour of 8 participants, and we want everyone to be safe, comfortable, and happy - we only leave someone behind, when customers have a delay of over 10 minutes or are nonresponsive, which was not the case. Even here we allow customers to meet us at the next stop). As you know the guide kept you informed permanently, and you did not miss a thing—we entered timely with no rush. Regarding the van, we have a fantastic Mercedes fleet, technical problems are uncommon but happen unfortunately - but as you saw, in a few minutes you had another beautiful Mercedes picking you up. All the best

Amazing tour. Well worth...

Carrie_L, Mar 2026
Amazing tour. Well worth it and time at each site was perfect. Our guide, David, was personable, knowledgeable and good driver. Great tour guide!

Best day trip
