A great day with Lili - We learned a lot, saw a lot & had fun with Lili & our fellow passengers. Sintra was beautiful - the Portugal I’d imagined. Experiencing the Western most point of Europe was a windy magnificent walk. Peña Palace was a long uphill walk to get to but worth the effort. Lili shared history & secrets that made the day extra special - I highly recommend her & this tour

Great day out exploring Sintra & Cascais - A great day out. We felt we had a good amount of time at each spot to get a taste for both Sintra & Cascais. Our guide went above & beyond to cater for the needs of the groups, including making useful suggestions for where to grab lunch. The small group size of 8 people was perfect. Next time we’re in Lisbon, we would love to go back to Sintra to explore further.

Fantastic day exploring Sintra, the Pena Castle, Cascais and Cabo da Roca with Carolina - Carolina was an amazing guide for our day tour of Sintra, the Pena Castle, Cascais and Cabo da Roca. She has so much passion for the area, the Portuguese culture, nature and for the people she guides. What a fun day and we learnt so much about a land so far from our own. She also imparted much more to us than just what our eyes gazed upon and in turn where enriched abundantly with this knowledge! Thank you Carolina for a wonderful day1

Outstanding tour guide and tour! Loved it. - Most memorable part is our incredible guide, Lilly! She was amazing at guiding us throughout the day and sharing historical perspectives that were priceless. She was unique in a sense that she took interest in everyone on board and where they were from and tried to not only educate us but also learn.
I would recommend her hands down for any trip I would planning.
Thanks Lilly

Great day trip - We had the best time with Lili and Diogo! Lili made the trip fun, while also teaching us about the history of Portugal. The stops were perfect, and we loved the seafood restaurant recommendation in Cascais. Lili did an excellent job of making sure all in the tour were comfortable and taken care of.
