An excellent day with Miguel despite wet weather
Very good tour- lots of walking and some steep hills around the place. Excellent tour guide - João! Enjoyed the day
This was a full day with lots of time to explore and learn about the places we visited. João was an outstanding guide - he was extremely knowledgeable and gave thorough descriptions of each viewpoint and history lessons along the way. He is also very witty and had us chuckling a lot! We had a very informative, fun day with João! I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks!
Company has no minimum respect for the customer. They canceled my reservation the night before the tour without notice. I got on the hand in the day. They didn't give much explanation. I do not recommend
The tour responds to the needs of people. Be prepared to walk up the hill alot Many oxygen breaks. 😀
Very well organized and truly informative. I felt comfortable on the trip and received good advice on what to see or where to eat. The information from the guide about Lisbon and its history was fascinating. A clear recommendation.
Our tour guide was amazing 👏 he is so knowledgeable, giving the right amount of information at exactly the right time. Very impressive
Our day with João touring Pena Palace, Sintra, Roca Cape & Cascais was wonderful. From the time he picked us up at the desianated area, to the moment he dropped us at the end of the day, João worked to make the day a memorable one for us. Along the way, we appreciated that he shared his knowledge of the architecture, history and politics relevant to the region. We also appreciated him wisking us past the very long queues at some of the venues. The instructions João gave us made it easy to reconnect and stay on schedule after time wandering the sites on our own. Thank you, João, for making the day very memorable!
Miguel was an excellent guide and driver! We enjoyed the day and recommend you go with a guide otherwise the lines are very long. Lots of stairs and inclined
I booked a November Sintra private tour with onedaytours. The customer service representative is very knowledgeable and provided me with answers on all my questions. They are also very prompt in replying to me. I am impressed and looking forward to the November Sintra trip experience. Will provide updates once I completed the trip.
