Sintra - memorable moments - Hugo was our guide and made the day very enjoyable for our family. He explained the history of Lisbon and Sintra going back hundreds of years, filled us with many interesting stories throughout the day, and kept us on track from the start to the end. I recommend Hugo and his company highly.

Pleasantly surprised! - We did a day trip with Hugo and having never done one of these we didn’t know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. Hugo was very knowledgeable with the history of everything we saw and even kept our 7 and 9 year old entertained the entire time.
We were never in the van for very long and when we were it was comfortable and clean. Thank you Hugo for setting the bar high!

Great time with Hugo - Great time with Hugo! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was also a very efficient way to see both Cascais and Sintra.
We didn’t spend too much time in the van (and the time we did spend was nice), so we were able to explore a lot on our own.

Brilliant tour - The tour guide Hugo was so brilliant, very knowledgable & funny! The tour was well planned out and worth the price! Despite the awful weather that day it was a great day! At Peña Palace walking through the gardens instead of taking the bus was the better option as so much to see!

Thoroughly Pleased! - Hello,
My wife and I are big travelers and wherever we travel to we always make sure we make time for a tour of the country or city. This was our 1st time in Portugal so we actually did more than 1 tour we did 3 on this trip. From the time that I met Ivo at the train station he was very friendly…it seems as if he never met a stranger. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the history lesson of Portugal. I told me wife that it seems that Ivo was or is some kind of professor because of this knowledge that he possess. My wife, daughter and I had a great experience today. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a good time and looking to learn. Thanks again Ivo I will surely be back!

Worth the price - Good trip for the price. Friendly tour guides and they keep you on time. Very knowledgeable on the history. Only gave 4 because they will ask for 5 star reviews a lot which was a bit much because it was like every 10 minutes until we all did it.
Wish it wasn’t as cold as it was this time of year also, definitely bring a sweater!
