Book this tour now!!! My family of 7 went on this tour together and it was definitely the highlight of our entire time in Portugal. Filipe was the best tour guide ever. He was so attentive to our needs, kind, and we got to learn so much from him. He was so incredibly knowledgeable!!! The van was also so comfortable. We m really enjoyed all the spots on the tour itinerary. HIGHLY recommend!!!
Put guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. The whole trip was well organized. We covered Sintra and cascaia and pena palace
Our guide, Felipe, was wonderful. He was knowlegeable, enthusiastic and clearly loves Portugal! Highly recommended.
It was great! David was a wonderful tour guide! He was very informative about the places we toured! David was great at recommending certain restaurants and Bakeries.
Our tour guide David was very knowledgeable , small group very manageable, the sites were breath taking
We had an amazing experience on this tour! Our guide, Filipe, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. He made the entire day enjoyable and shared so many interesting details about Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais. Everything was well organized, and we never felt rushed. Filipe made the experience even more memorable with his great personality and helpful recommendations. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Filipe as your guide!
This was a fun tour of places to visit outside the city limits. Our tour guide, Ed, was very knowledgeable about the places we went as well as Portugal’s history. He gave us great recommendations on places to eat and told us he was just a phone call away if we needed any help outside of the tour time. Great tour by an even greater tour guide. Highly recommend this.
Great tour , our guide was friendly , on time and knew so much about the area ! Highly recommend for all !
Edi was amazing! So knowledgeable on Portugal history and the hot spots in town. Went out of his way to send recommendations during and after the tour. Started early to beat the crowds and had more than enough time for photos. Our favorite part of our trip for sure!
Philipe is an excellent tour guide. He is very friendly and knowledgeable! Peña Palace is lovely and grand.
This day trip was nothing short of perfection. It was carefully planned out and very professionally executed by our guide, Filipe. From the moment he picked us at our meeting spot until the very end of the day, he was patient to accommodate the different ages of the people in our group.
He is super knowledgeable about Portugal's history and constantly gave us plenty of information about the places we visited. He shared recommendations about other places to visit. We learnt so much with him! Even our teenager (who's usually not very fond of these tours) found the day super interesting. Filipe's a real gentleman and we highly recommend working with him.
Had a wonderful experience with Filipe the tour guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable, the place itself was amazing. If you’re solo traveling I would definitely recommend visiting
The 9 hours spent during this tour ended up being too short. Thanks to our experienced guide Felipe who was very helpful and made this journey a breeze.
Marvelous places.
All qualities of the guide.
Very good in history, very good public relations, very empathic.
What a lovely experience. Our guide was full of fun facts and history with each stop. Great views and conversations. Highlight of our trip to Lisbon.
We have just finished our tour and we’re extremely happy with the experience! Pedro is very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and professional. He provided us with tons of info, showed us all the must-see stops and made sure all our questions were answered and needs met. Ask for him when you book the tour. Experiencing the places with a local is a must-do. Thank you Pedro!
Edi was such a great guide! We learned so much about our trip, and shared fascinating insights about the sights we saw along the way and anything we asked. He gave us heaps of recommendations for things to see, do and eat at each stop, plus some cool spots to explore around the city. Overall, it was an amazing experience!
The tour was AMAZING and our guide, Édi, was AWESOME! This tour was a great way to see all the highlights in one day. Having Édi as a guide made it extra special. He was so knowledgeable about things, he was like a walking Google. Book the tour and request Édi if you can.
This was the perfect way to see and do so many highlights outside of Lisbon without the hassle of logistics getting to and from each place. Edi was the most amazing tour guide, so knowledgeable, patient and flexible with us, also a really amazing driver. I am so happy I chose this tour and would do it again 100 times out of 100
Our tour guide Edi was so knowledgeable and passionate as he explained the history behind each location we visited. He was easy to understand and very entertaining. Wonderful day!
Well worth it but, book in advance for the Regaleira ( Invitation well)at least a week in advance for the timeyou want. It was amazing!
Fantastic experience with a great knowledgeable driver, David. Great to get outside of the city of Lisbon and see the surrounding areas.
Very crowded area like all the tourist areas these days but very much worth it. Lots of beautiful gardens, I think that was the best part. So many yummy places to eat also, hard to choose. DO the tour of the well if you can! Takes an extra ticket and they do sell out Our guide Èdi was absolutely phenomenal, highly educated and very passionate about history, not just a fact regurgitation. Small group tour is totally the way to go
Pedro was a great guide! He was passionate and shared a lot of interesting history in a fun way. We had plenty of time to tour and enjoy each place. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things about this tour, specifically our guide Edi. Not only was Sintra absolutely breathtaking, but I couldn’t believe how knowledgeable Edi was of the history of Sintra and just Portugal in general. I’m not normally a history buff but I was so impressed and intrigued. Not only his knowledge, but Edi was genuine, funny, and fit in with our group like he was part of the family!! He gave us incredible recommendations and truly made our experience above and beyond. WE LOVE EDI
Our day tour of Sintra was epic and Filipe, our tour guide, had an incredible knowledge of history and was friendly and a wonderful host. I wouldn’t bother with paying for the inside of the palace - the outside and grounds are the best part. Wish we had a little more time in the village of Sintra as the Regaleira takes time to do properly. Highly recommend this tour!
I travel quite often and I'm usually very critical when it comes to tours, so I don't give recommendations lightly. Based on my experience, I can truly say this tour exceeded my expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, the places we visited were beautiful, and our guide David was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and made the entire day enjoyable with his great stories and positive attitude. If you're visiting Lisbon, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, David, for an unforgettable experience!
It was a good day but I feel 3 hours in Sintra was too long. Our guide was ok and came over as very knowledgeable
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Dear Cammy, thank you for your feedback - it helps us as we strive to keep improving. Great to see you enjoyed our tour. We normally suggest our customers to book one of the optional palaces in sintra as these get sold out in advance (Regaleira as an example), but you did not want to book - our customers love to explore the village, but being an old town it is not exactly a big shopping location. We take your comment on board, although 99% of our customers love the itinerary, we can always do better. It was a pleasure welcoming you and we
hope to see you again on a future visit. All the best!
Really glad we went but make sure you are prepared for lots of walking. It also rained as we were up in cloud at Pena Palace. Limestone cobbles can also be slippery. All in all a very interesting and worthwhile trip. Our guide Felipe was also very friendly and informative.
Wonderful day with David!! He picked us up right outside our Airbnb and took us to some really magical places that you should not miss! Extremely knowledgeable guide, friendly and funny and accommodating. Great day all around!!
