Excellent tour! - This was an memorable, flexible tour that we took with our 9 year old son. Maria is an organized and practiced tour guide who knows all the ins and outs and will get you through the day perfectly with great recommendations. She is very friendly, gracious, and knowledgable. She gives you lots of history as she drives you from place to place and then leaves you with time to explore on your own. The tour is somewhat self guided in that you will get to each stop and you can decide with her how much time to allocate to each stop within the total amount of time you have for the day. We did go into Pena Palace (instead of just exploring the exterior) and while it was really interesting to see how the royal family lived, it did take extra time and I think I would have preferred to spend more time at the Quinta da Regaleira and Sintra town instead. Surprisingly, one part of the tour I was unsure I wanted to see--Cabo de Roca--ended up having some of the most beautiful scenery and I was so glad visited. Overall, it was a well planned day and Maria will take great care of you. She was wonderful with our son and also gave us great recommendations of other things to do in Lisbon and Algarve. Highly recommend!

Great trip with family. - Maria made our day enjoyable despite the rainy weather circumstances. She was very helpful with and considerate of our two little girls on the trip, ensuring their car seats were just right. An added bonus, her company provided rain jackets and umbrellas. The free wifi on the van helped keep our three year old occupied to watch shows on our device. We would definitely choose this company again on our nedt trip. Sintra and the Cascais are amazing places to see! Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent and very personalized tour! - This tour was wonderful. The guide had amazing knowledge, excellent English for us Americans and took great care of us the entire time. There was a lot of flexibility built into the tour schedule and she even brought along snacks and coffee. The ticket communication was excellent and we had no problem being fully prepared and knowing where to go and when. It was also a good value with an all day tour.

Great day out on the Lisbon coast. - Fab day out with our guide for the day Maria who was an excellent host with great knowledge of all the places we visited and some fun facts thrown in. We were well advised on how long to spend at each stop with time for a pleasant lunch in beautiful Sintra. After some historical sights in the morning the tour took us to the coast for some breathtaking scenery and visits to Cascais in the afternoon. A full day from 8am till 5pm was a highlight of our stay. Thank you Maria!

A tour to Sintra and Cascais that will definitely exceed your expectations. - There are many offers for tours to Sintra and Cascais. I am not sure what it was in the description that made me pick this one. But, I feel so lucky that I did. Maria met us with a van that could probably hold 10 people. We were a group of 4. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable. Maria offers a very personal experience. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. She presented a very easy to follow and understand history of the Portuguese monarchy during its final years during the construction of the Pina Palace. When we arrived, she assisted us in the purchase of our admission ticket and explained to us how to best visit the palace. From there, she brought us to many other sites, highlighting for us the important things to see and giving us free time to enjoy our time at each. Our conversations with her were so enjoyable. She offered so much insight into other worthwhile things to do while in Lisbon and Portugal. This was a very enjoyable day of touring.
