“Our small group tour (group of 7) wouldn't be possible if it is not with our warm, amazing and energetic Tour guide, Sara. The way she provided all the detailed itinerary about the tour. You can tell that she's knowledgeable and very engaging. Everything has been taken care of including having an extra umbrella, buying a ticket, & recommending what best restaurant to eat at.

“Lisbon–Sintra with Antonio – what a fantastic day! ⭐️ Antonio is incredibly open-minded and shares stories you won’t find in any history book. He’s flexible with small changes, seems to know everyone in town and brings such great energy. We felt completely safe and well taken care of the entire time. Sintra is pure magic – and Antonio makes you truly feel it. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend him to all our friends!”

“Gustavo really made the entire experience! His knowledge and passion for Portugal was so evident and he was a fun tour guide. The Pena Palace was amazing to see in person as was the Montserrat palace. Lots of walking, but we expected that and the little shops and restaurants in Sintra were charming. We were very satisfied with this tour!”

“We had a fantastic time visiting Sintra and Cascais. Felipe was a superb guide with a wealth of knowledge about absolutely everything regarding Sintra and the history of Portugal in general. Be sure to at least purchase the tickets for the Palace tour as Felipe escorts you himself and the information he provided was as vast and as thorough as could be. Its a long day but well worth the time.”

“An incredibly hot small bus takes you out of Lisbon to Sintra. On the way you stop at the End of the World. The bathroom costs 50 cents. The guide did not talk at all on the ride to Sintra. In Sintra you see two castles with a break for lunch on your own. Ride back in a miserably hot bus to Lisbon.”
