A must do experience! - Vasco was wonderful! As a local, his knowledge of the backroads and short cuts came in handy in the hustle and bustle of Sintra. He skillfully maneuvered his vehicle through crowds of milling tourists to take us to the Queluz and Monserrate Palaces and the Quinta da Regaleira. We were very impressed with his explanations of how the impact of the Freemasons could be seen in subtle details of the architecture and design. He is a lovely family man who was extremely considerate and caring for my travel companion who is a bit elderly. As a definite plus, he got us reservations at a fabulous seafood restaurant with a gorgeous view of the ocean and drove us back to Lisbon on the loveliest of backroads that only a local would know.

awesome guide and tour !! - Ruben our guide and driver was exceptional in every aspect of
the tour. He is knowledgeable about Portugal and its history.
We were comfortable and fully trusted his driving skills around the narrow roads and the mountains. We can’t say enough about how pleased we are spending the entire day with Ruben - We will certainly return and hope we can hang with Ruben again real soon -
We were so excited that neglected to take a photo with him . Highly recommend Ruben and this private tour.
Thank you Ruben, see you next
time !

Great tour, great tour guide. - Seeing the well at Sintra was very special. Pedro was an excellent guide and advised us due to the time restraints to see this instead of the palace. He was right. And he walked us all the way up to the queue for going to see the well and gave us valuable advice on navigating the tunnels. Then we went to the farthest western point of mainland Portugal for the awesome view, and had lunch along the coast to Cascais-also with a fantastic view. A private tour is definitely a good choice because it was tailored to our needs. Thank you, Pedro.
