- Sofia was awesome. I ended up being the only person in my tour. Not only did she chat me up on the history she also chatted me up just in general conversation. It was like hanging with a girlfriend. I definitely would recommend this company and if you can please request Sofia.

A magical day in Lisbon with the storyteller Gustavo - Our excursion to Sintra, Belém, Cascais and the Palacio da Pena was simply unforgettable! From the start, we were captivated by the beauty of each place, but what really made this tour exceptional was our guide, Gustavo. Gustavo is not just a guide; he is a true storyteller. His passion for the history and culture of Portugal was reflected in every word, transforming every ruin and every palace into a vibrant narrative. Thanks to him, we not only saw the places, but also lived them, feeling the essence of every corner of Lisbon and its surroundings. We recommend this experience 100%, especially if you are lucky enough to have Gustavo as your guide. They will take memories and anecdotes that they will treasure forever!

Very nice experience. The... - Very nice experience. The guide was exceptional, her name is Sofia! :) There are perks too, at the palace we did not have to cue, we were entering on a separate line.

Great Day in Sintra - I highly recommend this tour and tour guide. Mauro was fabulous! I signed up with my three closest friends and we were joined with two lovely Norwegian ladies on the trip. He made us all feel incredibly welcome so it was easy to relax and enjoy the views. There were so many laughs today. He answered every nerdy teacher question that I had and made it fun while doing it. The tour was done in English for our group (we are from the USA), but Mauro speaks so many languages so I think everyone would feel just as comfortable as we did. Sintra and Cascais were nice as well as the winery (super unique wine).

Sintra with Sweetie!!! - Mauro was the absolute best tour guide one can get!!! We are the lucky ones to have this man’s knowledge and wonderful personality to take us through Sintra, Cascais, and wine tasting! His history of the surrounding areas was both educational and fun! There is a “quiz,” but with how well he told us the history there’s no way you could fail!!! We laughed together, we cried and by the end had made wonderful friends out of the whole group! I highly recommend taking a tour with this company! Worth every penny!
