Amazing day and Carlos...

Rossana_H, Jul 2025
Amazing day and Carlos was fantastic and went above and beyond explaining the history and showing my family all the sites. The best tour to see so much of the sites in Sintra and area. Highly recommend!

My tour was canceled 10...

Antonio made the trip wonderful with his vast knowledge of the area. He took us to all the sites and explained the history. Highly recommend Antonio!!

We had a great guide...

Carla_B, Sep 2024
We had a great guide Antonio, and learned a lot about Sintra and area. Only issue was out of our control was official government sites were closed due to fire risk, which was understandable due to the fires ranging Portugal. Antonio worked a great tour for us and would recommend him as a guide.

Excellent tour and day trip .

Wendy_I, Jun 2024
This tour is really well planned and I enjoyed the variety of places we visited . Helena is a lovely, fun , and caring person . She maximized our experiences and gave us just the right amount of history and information to make our visits more meaningful . Lunch was delicious and great value in a beautiful setting , and ourtreats along the way made it an extra special day . Be aware that Sintra and Peña Palace are very hilly and there’s a fair amount of uphill climbing. However , Helena tries to minimize that as much as possible by taking parking as close as she can , and I managed it even with my arthritic knees . It was a really memorable day .

Perfect day

Marcia_H, Nov 2023
The entire day …Diogo was very knowledgeable and could not have been more helpful. An exhausting day for the grandparents but we’ll worth it

Excellent private tour

Seta_H, Aug 2023
Nuno was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgable and helped us efficiently navigate all the main sites in Sintra. We got to see way more than expected, and stops in Cabo da Roca and Cascais were a great way to end the day!

Amazing Tour

My favorite sights we saw on our trip to Portugal. Pedro was a perfect guide and storyteller. We learned a lot and enjoyed his company. Sintra and Casxais should not be missed!

great tour

Yuriy_G, Jun 2022
Pedro was a very good driver and tour guide. We went all nice places. He made extra steps to show us very interesting highlights.

Déception par rapport au contenu de l'annonce !!

pascal_u, Oct 2023
Je tiens à vous signaler notre profonde déception à notre arrivée quand le guide Daniel (charmant au delà de la situation et confus de la situation dans laquelle nous étions car lui même pas au courant) nous a indiqué que la plupart des sites étaient payants alors que l'information sur le site disait le contraire. Nous avons contacté le numéro sur la réservation et nous nous sommes vu indiqué que nous avions mal compris que nous étions face à un problème de traduction. La personne que nous avons eu nous à raccrocher au nez dans un premier temps. Il nous a rappelé, en ayant entre temps modifier le contenu de l'annonce en ligne (!!!), en essayant de nouveau de noyer le poison et se justifier mais à aucun moment nous proposer un geste commercial car nous étions fasses à de la publicité mensongère. Daniel le guide local comprenait notre déception et a fait son possible pour rendre la journée acceptable. Nous allons contacté Viator pour obtenir un dédommagement par rapport au contenu de la prestation affichée sur le site lors de la réservation. Je ne vous recommande donc pas cette visite sans mettre en cause Daniel le guide local mais les gestionnaires de l'annonce.
