Wonderful tour guide

Jill_M, Aug 2026

Natacha was an amazing tour guide! We had a wonderful day- saw beautiful places and learned so much. Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent experience

Elizabeth_H, Jul 2026

Incredible experience that Natacha will curate based on the weather and what you have already seen. We had such a lovely time touring around the west coast of Portugal near Sintra. We had a seamless pickup, a child seat, a comfortable ride, and as much history as we wanted at our fingertips. Natacha was quick to adjust our trip based on our 2 year old’s schedule, including when she got to naptime, and included so much history in her ongoing narrative about the area. She and her family have worked on farms in the area and evolved to support commerce as the demand changed, which comes to light as you cruise around the twists and turns up and down mountains to see the western most part of Europe, Colores, Caiscais, and Sintra (and more). Thanks for such a lovely time, Natacha!

Marta’s Excellent Adventure!

Jacqueline_D, May 2026

Marta, our tour guide, did an excellent job with our group of 6 guests. She began by reaching out to confirm details of the tour in the days leading up to the tour. As we were preparing to get to the meeting point, Marta contacted me to let us know exactly where to meet her and how to find here vehicle. She was warm and personable, and very knowledgeable about Sintra and Cascais, showing us important historical site and landmarks, and included details about current events and local flavor (literally). She was extremely patient, as some members of our group had mobility issues. Marta was sensitive to their needs while still making sure our tour covered as much information and sight seeing as possible. I would highly recommend her tour to others as you will definitely get great value for the tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you, Jacqueline — it's lovely to read such a detailed account of the day. Sintra and Cascais reward those who take the time, and we're glad the group felt well looked after, particularly with the extra care needed for those with mobility challenges. The communication beforehand is something we always try to get right — a well-prepared guest makes for a better day for everyone. Hope to welcome you all back to Portugal one day. Rui

Chris_S, Jan 2024

We could not have had a better experience with our tour guide, Susana. Her professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality were all the best I’ve seen using Viator! Our only regret is that we didn’t book the full day tour because there is so much to see.
