Excellent tour with a great guide (Lara) - Our tour with Lara was excellent! She picked us up at our hotel and we spent the whole day with her for our tour. She is very friendly and very knowledgeable. She was very flexible and was willing to accommodate our requests. She gave us an excellent tour of Pena Palace and the surrounding grounds which we would not have been able to appreciate if we had done this on our own. She dropped us off in Sintra where we explored the town and she left us with various recommendations of places to hit. She picked us up after about an hour and then we went off to Cascais. Beautiful beach town and she gave us time to hit the beach (our request) as well as gave us interesting history and background of the area. Lara was really a lot of fun and a great conversationalist. I would highly recommend doing the tour with Lara (in fact we already have this recommendation to some people that we met today).

Great tour guide! - The tour guide Ruben was one of the best we've ever had! He is very knowledgeable, and brings the history of the sites to life. He is clearly excited to share what he knows, and it made for a wonderful day. Thanks, Ruben!

Great way to spend a day - Great way to spend a day! Beautiful places, amazing views, our guide knew a lot about history and culture of Portugal. Didn't expect to see and learn so much during those couple hours, and we still had time to walk around Sintra on our own and try some local food. And we even got a souvenir at the end of the trip!
Truly one of the best tours I've ever been to.

An amazing tour company - What an amazing tour company. The communication was speedy and accurate & any questions answered quickly. We were picked up in 2 spotless new vans with fantastic guides who provided a lot of information in a relaxed manner. They accommodated dropping us off at the airport too. They fully deserve their 5 stars as they work hard for it, a refreshing change

Amazing - In the afternoon, we headed to Cascais, a charming coastal town. The guide led us through the beautiful streets, providing insights into the town's history and culture. We visited the Boca do Inferno, a natural wonder, and enjoyed some of the freshest seafood at a local restaurant.
