A brilliant day - It was a super day but be aware that it involves a lot of steps and walking and is a long day, but well worth it Also you need to check that all the palaces are open as the Pena Palace was closed for our visit Apart from that it was a memorable day.

Fantastic day trip to Sintra - Luis Silva was very insightful and made the day trip very enjoyable. We were able to fit a lot in the day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the local restaurant he took us too

Fantastic experience, highly recommended. Viator booking process has room to improve - The experience was fantastic and worth it. Patrick is an excellent guide! Would do it again! Viator booking process has room to improve by 1) Providing updated hotel lists for pick up or to figure out pick up points. 2) Allowing customers to pay entrance fees via the site electronically instead of in cash to the guide. The cash payments aren't customer friendly given the ubiquity of electronic payments in Portugal! 3) Allow customers to provide a WhatsApp address to make the touring facilitation/messaging easier.

Bummed that Pena palace... - Bummed that Pena palace was closed due to weather but the tour replaced it with Sintra palace and it was very good. Comfy shoes are a must as lots of walking, hills and stairs. Tour guide (Tiago) was excellent!

Very personalized small group tour that was filled with great facts and information. - The guide, Nelson, was very knowledgeable and always went above and beyond to accommodate our small group. The experience was better than expected. I really feel like I gained a more in depth view of the sites and Portugal during this tour. I also met a great group of folks, so an extra plus! Definitely recommended 👌!

Great full day trip! - Patrick was our guide and he was terrific. Unfortunately, the Peña Palace was closed due to storm damage on the grounds, but the Regaleira and the National Palace filled the morning beautifully. Our lunch stop was perfect. Typical Portuguese lunch… Grilled bream, potatoes and salad with local red wine. Many other options available! And our stop at Cabo da Roca to see the coast and the lighthouse, along with a stop in Cascais, topped off the day. It was well worth the cost! Just disappointed not to see the Peña Palace. I will have to come back!

Fun, personal and locally flavored - An enjoyable day spent with Patrik our guide. Informative and entertaining with seven total travelers. Sintra and the castles are amazing. We had lunch at a local restaurant that was perfect.

Fun Full Day Experience - Full day tour that covers a lot of history, with a knowledgeable guide. They were prompt, communicated very well and it was seamless start to finish. Great photo opportunities, I would definitely recommend this tour to others. We would have done ourselves a disservice had we tried the same tour on our own.
