Very professional, fun and informative tour! - We learned so much more about Portugal and the Sintra area than we could have without a guide. Our guide Ricardo was a wealth of knowledge and also funny and professional. And it was a huge relief to have someone else drive, park and handle ticketing and shuttle bus transfers at these popular sights. Highly recommend! Amazing experience.

Great day trip! - Great variety of sites on this tour. Old neighborhoods, stunning views, beautiful seaside town and of course the majestic palace. Several stops for foods and shopping with time to just wander and soak in the vibe of the area. We had the best guides!

Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Truly Enjoyable Tour - I had a fantastic time with Nuno and Miguel! They were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited and their history, but also so friendly and kind throughout the tour. They eagerly shared interesting insights and answered all our questions with honesty and enthusiasm. Their warm and welcoming attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend their tours to anyone. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Miguel at the end—my apologies! Thank you both for your kindness and excellent service!

Wonderful Memories - Our tour guide, Tania was fantastic. Since we were traveling the day before New Year’s Eve, she was monitoring the traffic from Lisbon to Sintra and adjusted the start time so that we could avoid the heaviest traffic.
We appreciated her explanations of the historic sites in addition to her enthusiastic descriptions of Portuguese culture, economy, topography, etc. ..from the cultivation of cork to the production of port wines.
The National Palace of Pena in Sintra , Cascais and Cabo da Roca are definitely worth visiting!
We plan to return to Lisbon and are looking forward to another day tour with her.

Great Tour Company!! I... - Great Tour Company!! I love that the tour group is small. My tour group only had 3 people. Our group felt like we were family traveling without any arguments 🤭. Our tour guide Carolina was awesome; she super nice, knowledgeable, and funny. I would recommend this tour to my family and friends.

Fantastic Tour & Guide - As someone who prefers exploring on my own instead of a tour, I would highly recommend this day tour! Carolina was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and so so kind! She was the best part of the tour, as she constantly shared interesting information about the drive and sights, and answered any questions the group had.
The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. We also got to see the beautiful coast, and I think the stop to cabo de roca was lovely touch .
Carolina was extra sweet and provided me a list of her favourite restaurants after I asked for her recommendations. :)

Great Tour - see it all in one day! - This was a great tour!! Ricardo was a great guide and was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Definitely pick this one, you are only in a small group of up to 8 which is perfect, you don’t lose time waiting for 20 others and you get a friendlier personalized experience. You get to explore Sintra, see the lighthouse, enjoy some ginjinha, visit Cascais for lunch, and then go to the Pena Palace. It was very rainy and foggy so Ricardo was kind enough to get us tickets for the shuttle to take us up to the palace so we wouldnt have to walk. He shared very interesting history about the palace and took us around the outdoor portions, and then let us explore the inside at our own pace. Pickup and drop off are very convenient, you have a good balance of guided tour and independent wandering throughout the day. Thank you Ricardo!!
