An experience not to be missed. - Not only was this tour amazing, but our tour guide was amazing too. So much hospitality and knowledge. I had a bum ankle and she took her time and never made me feel like I was holding us back. She had so much knowledge. The van was spotless, the driving easy. She answered every question and was so easy to converse with. A remarkable experience.

Great tour of Sintra and Cascais! Highly recommend!! - We had a wonderful day exploring Sintra and CasCais with Luis! He was an exceptional guide! Very knowledgeable and shared so many fun stories about the areas we were visiting. Perfect host in every way! We stayed ahead of the crowds, thanks to his thoughtful planning, and went at a pace that worked for my husband and I. The place was beautiful and a must see on a visit to Lisbon. Lots of walking so be prepared with good footwear!

Best tour to Sintra and Cascais. - Our tour guide was Luis, if you have the pleasure of him as your guide you will have an amazing time. He is so knowledgeable about all spots visited. The pace was perfect and offers were made to adjust the schedule as needed. We encountered some heavy traffic on the way to Sintra and Luis found all the back roads to keep us on time.

Great day in Sintra - Pena palace was fantastic. We got in line first and our guide knew all the tricks- from where to park, best things to see, even the best paths to make the trip as efficient as possible. He even knew who had the best ice cream!

Take this tour! - This was an amazing tour. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Portugal! We learned so much about the area from our very great guide. Going through the palace with a seasoned tour guide was perfect. From recommendations at the bakery to an amazing narrative as we drove around the area of Sintra and Cascais was just the best. Take this tour. Use this company!

Plan a day for this one. - What a beautiful way to spend a day. Our guide Sandra was prompt, friendly very knowledgeable and witty. Her English is excellent which served our group well. We enjoyed her extensive knowledge of Portugal's history, landscape and customs. The scenery is exceptional and Sintra and Cascais are charming. Definitely an excursion worth planning for.
