Marvelous Sintra - Tour guide Nuno was amazing. His knowledge of history of Portugal really brought the trip alive. He also was very knowledgeable about the local sights with great recommendations on food and activities. Nuno helped to minimize wait times and avoid crowds. Brilliant day even though we had to fight rainy conditions.

An amazing experience! Don’t hesitate to book. - Nuno picked us up at the hotel, drove us to Sintra, and gave us the option with recommendations on what to do. We opted to see Pena Palace (outside only), which was perfect. We stopped a couple of times on the way up, where he would educate us on history and trivia. He was super professional, easy to talk to, and full of energy and enthusiasm. Then we went to the National Palace (a much older royal gem that most bypass, but so much more worthy than other sites, if one is pressed for time), and walked around the town afterwards. Stopped at Periquita for some queijadas de Sintra and travesseiros. He drove us back and dropped us off where we wanted. I highly recommend Nuno as your guide in Portugal.

So much fun! Do it! - I highly recommend this tour! If you're on the fence, just do it. The flexible pickup time was why we booked, but it turned out to be even better than expected. Nuno was our guide and he was so great! The palace and estate we saw was Quinta da Regaleira and it was so beautiful. We didnt feel rushed at all and ended up utilizing all of our time that we didnt think we would. Don't forget to buy your ticket separately - totally worth it!

Wonderful Day: on and off the beaten path - Incredibly knowledgeable tour guide. John was so helpful: he knew so much about the history and local culture. He gave us great insights into what to see and the story as to why it was important. He even took us to local places that were off the beaten path. Without him, we would have missed so much!

Sintra - Hills to the Coast - We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour in Sintra. With tour guide Nuno Picado. The experience was a perfect beginning of our 5 day vacation in the region. Nuno was knowledgeable and gave us a great understanding of all the highlights. Nuno is very professional, yet personable. He gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant. Highly recommend Nuno.
