Great tour of Sintra! - Great way to see the highlights of Sintra in a partial day. Our guide lived in Sintra and was very knowledgeable of the history of Sintra and Portugal.

A Wonderful Sintra Experience with Patricia - Patricia was an incredible guide. She was warm, welcoming and very thoughtful throughout the whole trip. She paid special attention to the fact that we were travelling with our child, which really made the experience easier and more enjoyable for us. She showed us all the key places in Sintra and shared interesting stories that helped us appreciate each stop. We loved the tour from the very beginning and felt well taken care of the entire time. Since she lives in Sintra, she also took us to a local delicacies shop, and we enjoyed the treats a lot. Thank you again, Patricia. We hope you and your family enjoyed the small parting gift from us.

Great tour guide! - Our driver, Rodrigo, took what could have been an average tour and made it an amazing tour! When a part of the Peña Palace was closed due to weather he took us to see another part. He gaged our group and used the time we had together wisely (ie suggesting getting a coffee instead of waiting in the long line until the next time slot for the indoor tour started). He also gave us many suggestions for restaurants and tours in other cities that our group was going to visit. It was the perfect amount of time in Sintra.

Sintra: a Delightful Experience - Ravi is outstanding! His knowledge regarding Sintra, & the history of Pena Palace, made our visit all the more special. Ravi was a delightful companion, funny & caring. He took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch, in Sintra. He went above & beyond, taking his time, then dropping us off where we needed to be. The tour was a success. We highly recommend this activity!

Sunny fall day in Sintra - Great day with tons of history, a very fun and knowledgeable guide Danilos, great food recommendations as well. The Pena Palace (not castle, happy to know this distinction now!) was breathtaking, and Danilos’ passion for his town shone through. Great nuggets about Portugal were shared.

Awesome half day tour of Sintra with Le Romero! - We had a wonderful semi-private half day tour of Sintra and Pena Palace with Le Romero!! Leo is such a knowledgeable and happy spirited tour guide. Leo pointed out beautiful landmarks during our 30 minute drive from Lisbon to Sintra. He also answered a peppering of questions about Portuguese history and language and shared lots of recommendations on future activities and restaurants. We had a short stop in charming Sintra village. Our tour booking helped us skip the ticket line and we headed into the palace with ease. Leo knew the best short cuts to maximize our time inside. As we walked through the exterior and interior of the palace, Leo shared important historical facts combined with colorful stories about the royal family as well as the end of the monarchy and Portugal’s transition to democracy. Leo also knew a ton about the palace (Manueline) architecture. As an extra bonus, Leo has a background in visual arts and knew how to frame our family photos perfectly. Great tour and highly recommend.

Great company. Above and beyond - I was originally scheduled for this tour but due to a lack of other participants it was cancelled . However the tour company was generous enough to offer me the opportunity to upgrade to the full day tour at no extra cost! I am grateful for their offer and would recommend this tour to everyone. We had a tremendous day of sites with a terrific guide from the Santra region. I left a more detailed review on the full day listing. Definitely take this tour. The company and it's product are top notch.

A tremendous day adventure - An outstanding tour. Small group of 6, full day trip through the Sintra region. Our tour guide was a very personable, knowledgeable local who was very enjoyable to spend the day with. One small blemish was the scheduled lunch. Our guide took us to a local restaurant. We were informed that the only credit card they took was Amex or cash. Since we don't carry much cash we needed to use a local ATM which had excessive fees. Oh well. The service was extremely slow and somewhat frustrating but in the end the meal was very good. Warning... check your bill as they are 'flexible' with the charges vs the menu. Minor issues aside (the tour description said water was supplied so we didn't bother bringing any but non was available) we had a great time and is well worth booking.
