A must do! - This tour is certainly worth taking a full day of your trip. Sintra is amazing! Gorgeous views; beautiful nature. Definitely a must see if you are visiting Lisbon. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city for the day. It was so nice having a tour guide leading us to the right spots along the narrow, twisty roads.

Anna Campos - Legendary Guide - Anna Campos is a great guide who is very knowledgeable. She is especially great for those traveling with children since she is very motherly and eccentric. Her motherly nature helped the kids feel comfortable and her eccentricity entertained them endlessly.

Best way to see Sintra in a day! - Wonderful tour and tour guide! Diogo brought the Sintra area to life for us. He was extremely patient answering all our questions and pacing the tour to suit our needs. The private tour experience was amazing, and well worth the price. We entered several of the sites through a special line reserved for the tour guides, and we really did "skip the line". We ate together at a local Sintra restaurant and had a wonderful meal and a great experience. It was the best way to see the Sintra area, since we only had one day in Portugal. Thank you, Diogo, for making our time in Portugal so special!

Great Tour - Anna, our guide, provided an excellent tour. Since she was local to the Cascais area, she shared interesting facts that others may not have known. She took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch that overlooked the water. We had a great experience with her and highly recommend this tour.

5 STARS and more! - A complete 5 STAR experience!! We loved every moment with Diogo who was an exceptionally educated and enthusiastic guide. We could not have asked for more and appreciated his obvious love for his job which translated into an incomparable customized experience for us! My family was worried about an 8 hour tour but at the end everyone said it was their favorite tour of our trip. Thank you Diogo for spending the day with us!

Thumbs Up! - Our guide/driver was great, he was knowledgeable and kind. He took us to a couple extra places as we had extra time. My only feedback was that I had hoped he could have come inside Pena Palace with us, but he just took us around the grounds and then we viewed the inside on own.

Bottom line: this tour is trash and a complete scam. Watch out for Goncalo P and Luis. - Key points from our trip: -The tour should be labeled and priced as a private driver and no guide -The guide Goncalo P showed up an hour late -Our day was 1.5 hours at Pena Palace, 10 minutes at Cabo Da Roca, a lunch, and 30 minutes in Cascais -Guide didn’t provide a tour of Pena Palace -We didn’t see the Moorish Castle or downtown Sintra -Stream of lies and deception between the guide and Luis from LRS Private Tours Hands down the lowlight of my trip in Portugal and a waste of money. The description is inaccurate and the tour guide and operators blame each other for who is wrong/misleading. The tour guide was an hour late, told us he “was told not to guide us in Pena Palace” then told his boss we told him we didn’t want a guide when confronted. Guide said there was no time to see Moorish Castle. Goncalo also said we must pick between Downtown Sintra OR Cabo da Roca and Guincho beach even though we paid for both. We elected for the beach which was fine, but about a 10-minute visit. The restaurant we went to for lunch (per guide’s recommendation) was good, but the most expensive meal we had in Portugal. Caiscais was nice, but we didn’t have much time there. The real kicker to our experience was when we confronted the guide about our experience and our subsequent interactions with his boss, Luis from LRS. Luis wanted to speak with the guide before we finished our trip, so we told Goncalo to give him a call. They spoke in Portuguese so naturally we couldn’t follow along, but what we heard afterwards was quite surprising. Goncalo never told his boss he was an hour late despite telling us earlier that he called Luis. Goncalo also told Luis several lies about our day and trip: he was on time, we said we didn’t want a guided tour of the palace, we didn’t want to walk anywhere – all complete lies. If we hadn’t paid $800 for five of us to book this tour I wouldn’t have made a huge deal, but this was a complete scam. We could have booked a taxi and our own tickets for a fraction of the cost and had the same experience. Luis was combative and refused to make an offer beyond 150 euros so we took it up with Viator who was able to recoup 50% of our cost – still complete garbage.
