From Lisbon to Sintra, Cabo da Roca + Wine Tasting, Hotel Pick-Up

We had an outstanding private tour for 5 (could be up to 8) with Ricardo and couldn't have asked for a better experience. He created a customized itinerary that perfectly matched what we wanted to see, while still being flexible throughout the day if we wanted to adjust our plans. Everything ran smoothly—he was always on time, organized, and made sure we never felt rushed. In advance of tour, Ricardo had clear complete and timely communication. Ricardo is friendly, knowledgeable, and speaks perfect English. From Sintra’s Pena Palace to Quinta da Regaleira, a local wine tasting, and Cabo da Roca coastal view point, every stop was seamless thanks to his planning. If you're looking for a professional guide who truly cares about providing a great experience, I would book Ricardo again and again. Highly recommended!

Our day in Sintra with Ricardo was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal! Ricardo was punctual, professional, and an exceptionally safe driver. From the moment he picked us up, he made the day fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. His knowledge of Sintra, its history, and the surrounding area was outstanding, and he shared fascinating information throughout the tour. He was also incredibly thoughtful and took countless photos for us, making sure we came home with wonderful memories of our day. A special highlight was our visit to Mare et Corvus Winery. The setting was beautiful, the wines were excellent, and it was the perfect addition to an already fantastic tour. Ricardo went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Sintra and looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and first-class guide. Thank you, Ricardo, for an unforgettable day!

This was our second time using Ricardo’s services at Funtasting Tours to visit various sites around Lisbon and Sesimbra — and honestly, that says it all. When you find someone this exceptional, you don’t even consider going anywhere else. Ricardo is everything you hope for in a guide and so much more: kind, polite, professional, and always prompt. He is genuinely generous with his time and expertise, sharing insider knowledge about restaurants and sightseeing that you simply wouldn’t find on your own. But what really sets Ricardo apart is that he treats you like family — not like a customer. He went so far above and beyond that he even helped us find a babysitter during our trip. That’s the kind of warmth and care that is truly rare. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning like us, I cannot recommend Ricardo and Funtasting Tours highly enough. Book any tour or service he offers — you will not regret it. He is an absolute gem, and he made our trip to Portugal one we will never forget.

This tour turned out to be the perfect way to spend a day touring the surrounding areas of Lisbon. Ricardo was incredibly nice and dedicated to making our day meaningful. We didn’t have a ton of time and so glad we chose this as one of the days. The trip included a stop at Sintra, a very lovely wine stop, and then visit to the coast and lunch. It was simply a very smooth day. He went at the pace we wanted and adjusted everything as needed. Highly recommend if you are looking for a day tour!

Ricardo communicated wonderfully with us before the trip to book our lunch reservation and coordinate our time for meeting. He drove us to must see Sintra and booked our tickets to Quinta da Regaleira in advance. He planned an early arrival in Sintra to beat the crowds so we were able to visit the National Palace in addition to shopping in town before our timed tickets. He surprised us with delicious local pastries once we were back in the car. Once we were done in Sintra he drove us around lovely Colores to see amazing Atlantic Ocean views and treated us to a yummy Chorizo roll from a local shop before taking us to visit a charming winery where we purchased interesting and affordable bottles to ship home to the US. Our lunch at beachfront Guincho (coordinated by Ricardo) was delicious with great service and a gorgeous view! Our final stop was at must see Cabo da Roca and we drove home along Cascais to see the cute town and marina area. Ricardo took many pictures for us which was a very nice touch since we usually just take selfies. He was a warm and friendly guide who we highly recommend for a relaxing and lovely day!

My daughter and I booked a tour the day before and had a wonderful time! Ricardo was the perfect guide. We never felt rushed and he was very informative. We were picked up in Cascais and spent the day in Sintra. Ricardo would check in periodically to see if we needed anything. We toured the National Palace of Sintra and Quinta da Regaleira. We lunched on the beach and stopped at Cabo da Rosa for pictures. After deciding to skip the wine tasting portion due to being worn out, Ricardo surprised us with a bottle of wine when we were dropped off. Highly recommend!

This place is like a fairytale! Again, Ricardo outdid himself showing us the beauty of Portugal. The palace, the shops, the restaurants and winery, were more than we could have imagined. We cannot wait to return.

Great tour with an excellent tour guide who be very attention person to the details and care of the people involve, what should be a "simple" tour around Sintra become a really true new and cherish experience. The 1st "stop" was in Sintra to visit the city and the palaces around, definitely the most beautiful was Pena Palace with all the envolvente story and detail described by Mr. Ricardo, still in Sintra the next stop was at Regaleira Farm, one of the coolest park located at old Sintra Town, the Palace inside with like a mix architectonic of 16th century renaissance-style with mediaeval-style, the gardens was something else, thanks we stop by. The next two stops was in Azenhas do Mar and Cabo da Roca, two lovely place with an superb view over the ocean and the houses around (in Azenhas do Mar), the restaurant Mr. Ricardo choose to lunch was a really good choice with and excellent and tasty food. The experience not finished there once we visit the village called Colares and have the opportunity to drop in a Colares Wine Cellar tasting the wine home made what was an incredible experience. Last but not least the pastry we have the opportunity to taste (and of course by some like the wine because was really good). All this was impossible to do or arranged by my self (related all the places and the time expended in which place, probably I was run out of time in the end of the day to visit all) if not provided by this company and I'm so glad to had made this choice and they've an excellent tour guide who respect ours needs, times and detailed all through the tour.
