Personal, personable, and memorable! - Julio was our guide for the half day tour. I had no idea my husband booked a private tour, I thought for sure we'd be stuck on a bus. You can imagine my delight when Julio pulled up in his VW convertible. He was incredible warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed learning about Sintra, the palaces, Portuguese history, and Julio. He took us to a medieval tavern that I could've spent many an hour at. If we had more than a day in Sintra, there are so many places I'd check out on Julio's recommendation. Thank you for your hospitality!!

The tour was great and... - The tour was great and our tour guide Esmil was excellent and very knowledgeable. He made it a great experience. He provided many different historical facts along the way and he was very outgoing and a pleasure to be with. This was a trip for my father’s 80th birthday. Both of his grandparents were from Portugal.

Best Tour and Guide - Giovanni - Overall the tour was fantastic and our guide, Giovanna, was awesome! The ride to Sintra was pleasant and the stop for coffee and a pastry was a nice touch. Once we got to Sintra, she showed us the most interesting features of the garden - breathtaking! She struck the perfect balance between showing/telling and letting us explore. She also took us to a few other places (western most point of Europe) along the way to Cascais. Giovanni made our experience memorable!!

Sintra - Ravi was great! Car was a 2 door very difficult to get into. Between Viator and the tour group there was not good communication. We were supposed to get picked up at airport but tour group said that was not included so had to pay additional 80 EU The tour itself was excellent and we had a great time. Thank you Ravi

Great town and location, mediocre tour - Our guide was not very well informed, but the town and garden are very beautiful and a must see day trip.
