Excellent tour!

Christine_B, Mar 2024
George was excellent and most helpful. Information for meeting was simple and easy to follow. He was able to adjust and be flexible with our family. The information and knowledge he shared about Lisbon and Sintra along the way was very nice. Highly Recommend!

Hello Christine, We are so glad to read your review! That makes us so proud as a team and Jorge, as a dedicated professional, felt very happy. Come back soon. Thank you so much for your support!!!

Not enough time to see it all

Michelle_S, Oct 2023
Our driver, Jorge, was great. He told us about the places, knew his way around the roads, and advised us how to get Pena Palace tram tickets without waiting in a line. The restaurant he took us to for lunch was also wonderful. He gave his advice for restaurants and other sights to see while in Lisbon. However, I do not think the stated itinerary is possible given the lines at the various locations. Our tour started at 9a, I think it needed to start at least by 8a to get us to Sintra when it opened. We had to skip the Moorish Castle to make our 11a time slot (pre-purchased) for Pena Palace. On a rainy day in October it took 40 minutes to get through the line at the gate to the 11a line at the palace, and another hour to get into the palace from there. I would recommend getting Pena Palace tickets in advance for the earliest possible timeslot and going straight there. Leave a couple of hours for Quinta da Regaleira after. Unfortunately, we did not have time to visit the National Palace or the Moorish Castle.

Wonderful very full day!

Packed full day! Only wished tickets were included. We spent an awful amount of time in line purchasing our tickets.

Great Driver, but Long Lines

Kevin_S, Oct 2022
This is not a tour, but a private driver that transports you between sights and arranges for a fantastic lunch. I would recommend the itinerary start with Pena Palace to avoid waiting in long lines and then onto the Moorish Castle. Our driver was great and provided us with insights to/from the Sintra, but at the price, we'd anticipated more of a tour guide at each of the locations.

Great value, knowledgeable/fun guide

Tracy_F, Oct 2021
Jony was a great guide, shared his vast knowledge of rhe area and customized the pace to our needs. Would definitely recommend to others

Perfect Sintra Tour

Elaine_D, Sep 2021
We had a private tour for four people with Filipe. He was terrific! He customized everything to accommodate us. We saw the Pena Palace, Palace of Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira, the Old center of Sintra (complete with pastries), the coastline and the Christ Statue in Lisbon. Highly recommend!
