Jorge, our Guide to Sintra - Jorge contacted us prior to the visit to introduce himself and to let us know the time he was picking us up. He maintained excellent communication! He picked us up on time and was friendly, knowledgeable, and very positive throughout the day. He shared his vast knowledge of the castle and the history of city of Sintra. He answered our many questions and gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and even offered to stay with us longer. He had photos to show us about some of the sites as well. We were very lucky to have Jorge as our guide and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Great tour! - We took the train from Lisbon to Sintra today. The train was delayed by about 45 minutes but Jorge met us at the station and whisked us up to the Pena Palace just in time for our first tour. He toured the palace with us, and took us through the forest and gardens (beautiful, and hardly anyone taking the time for this!). We then went to the Moorish castle and climbed up part of the ramparts for a beautiful view of the city. We enjoyed Jorge’s easygoing nature, his knowledge of history, his delight in nature, his care and patience with my slower pace, and his recommendations for lunch in a local non-touristy restaurant in the old town when we were done. A truly wonderful experience!

A day to remember - This was a great day. We were really interesting in visiting Pena Palace, which we loved. But Morish Castle was a very nice surprise, especialy with all the historical background provided by the guide Patrícia, this was definetly our favorite ! Dramatic and Scenic views! We higly recommend to take a guide like Patrícia with you!

Amazing!! - From the moment we booked the tour, Patrícia got in touch and took all of the stress out. We agreed a pickup point and all we had to do was turn up and walk. Patrícia organised everything else and he knowledge was second to none. Would strongly recommend this tour to anyone. And, the restaurant she recommended was amazing as well!

Amazing guide, totally worth the experience:) - Patricia is a wonderful tour guide. She met us at train station and gave us tour of Sintra on our way to Moore Castle. We parked short distance from castle and did short but beautiful hike. The castle is tucked away in Forrest. The views are amazing. Then we went to sintra castle. There is bus service that can take you back and forth from main entrance. Patricia provided history and tour of castle! Overall, I highly recommend it. Y

Great tour with even greater guide! - Jorge was brilliant in his knowledge of Peña palace and Moorish castle and more! He was incredibly kind to my sister with a cane and moved at the pace we needed to, coming up with new facts and discoveries along the way. He even spoke to us about other Sintra sites, his passion for Sintra history and how they all relate. The sites were quite spectacular but wouldn’t have been the same without our guide. He also gave a terrific restaurant recommendation.
