Best Tour Ever! - All six of us had an amazing time, thanks to our wonderful guide Antonio. Having grown up in the area, he was incredibly knowledgeable. Stopping for a great seafood lunch on the coast was the perfect interlude between visiting Montserrat and Sintra. Very fun day!

What a great day with Miguel! - Miguel was an interesting, talented and very informative guide, along with his excellent driving skills. He allowed us to go at our own pace, and we had a great time. Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, and Pena Palace were all so beautiful. And he took us to a great seaside restaurant where we enjoyed fresh grilled bream and delicious wine. Just a great day!

Magical Sintra experience - We went to Sintra on a very cold morning in April but was blessed with sunshine upon arriving Sintra itself. Our tour guide, Luisa, drove us kindly in a van. She was very punctual, patient, knowledgeable. She did everything to keep me and my elderly parents safe while on the tour. Luisa is very hardworking. There was a lot of traffic in Sintra but Luisa made it easy for us by dropping us to the monument and running from where she parked to meet us. We visited Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaliera. We walked in the gardens. We enjoyed Sintra a lot. Finally, it was late so we had a delicious Portuguese meal (Michelin restaurant) in the coast of Sintra where we had the most amazing fish and wine. 5 star experience! Obrigada, Luisa!

Sintra-Cascais not to be missed! - This was one of the best tours we have ever taken, thanks in part to our tour guide Miguel Cunha Ferreira. He was friendly, respectful, and very knowledgeable about the historic monuments and places we went to see. Furthermore we had fun with him! The pick up and arrangements were on time and efficient, no complaints.
We also loved Sintra and Cascais, they should not be missed in any trip to Portugal.
Very complete Tour and great value for the cost.
