Nancy F, Oct 2016

Our shared tour turned out to be a private tour with guide and van. It wasn't until we got home, that I realized that we didn't get the tour I had signed up for. We were supposed to do two palaces in Sintra and visit Cabo da Roca. However, we wasted two hours in Cascais which allowed only enough time to do the National Palace in Sintra. Sintra is worth a whole day by itself. Our guide was very quiet and didn't add a lot of information to the tour.

Excellent day out, just the two of us with Jose, who was a wonderful host. We were taken to many interesting places we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended!

Not only was this an amazing tour, the tour guide was one of the best guides that I've ever had - he was extremely knowledgeable, with history, architecture, literature, restaurants, cafes - and of course, the famous Portuguese pastries - and was also extremely personable. His communication skills were outstanding, and he was able to thoroughly answer any question that I had. Aside from the beauty of the area, the magic with which the tour guide conveyed the information of this beautiful area, blessed by nature and man, added to one of the most amazingly wonderful days of my life.
