I had an amazing full-day tour to Sintra with Bernardo and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip! Everything was very well organized and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Bernardo was an excellent guide — very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history and the places we visited. He shared great stories and interesting facts throughout the day, which made the tour even more special. Sintra is absolutely stunning and doing this tour with such a great guide made the experience unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon who wants to explore Sintra in the best way possible.🤩🤩
We had a wonderful day with Paola . He was so professional, kind and had a good sense of humor. He blew our minds with how much he knew. He made sure to ask us what we wanted and gave us all the ins and out. Book with Paulo. The crowds at sintra were a little overwhelming but we worked around it.
A wonderful day trip with ARR Tours João’s vast knowledge of Portugal’s history and culture, combined with a great sense of humor, brought every location to life in such an engaging way. Highly recommended!
Tour guide was very polite, friendly, informative..however, I believe the tour description was misleading. We saw the town of Sintra, but never went close to nor saw the castle. We drove through Cascais but didn't have much time to explore. Not sure if it was due to the weather or how the tour was planned..just seemed we had little to no time anywhere
We appreciate your review, however we cannot agree when you say that our tour is misleading, as our company cannot control weather conditions! On the day of your tour, unfortunately, the day in Sintra was very cloudy and so you were unable to see the monuments in their entirety. I know you liked our services and our kindness towards our customers, as you hired us to continue with you to visit Lisbon, where you were able to see its castle. When you return to Portugal, we would be happy to return to Sintra with you!
Views from the end of the earth, our driver had a lot of experience however did the tour in reverse so we shops were not open on Cascals when we stopped, and we could not get tickets to go to the Park in Sintra. We did not understand we should have bought online ahead of time. No clear direction from Viator
Thank you for your review! We are changing the itinerary to include tickets and allow time for shopping. It will start with the visit of the park of pena palace And past from four to eight hours. We count on our customers to provide an increasingly better product.
Driver was knowledgeable and patient. Pena palace was quite crowded, and tour took twice as long, so made rest of trip too quickly/fast.
Thank you for your review! About the crow in Pena Palace we can´t solve it. We always advice outher momuments when clients don´t like crows, but Pena Palace is like that.
