Our guide Ruben was very engaged and helpful with helping us navigate our five family members through Sintra and the Pena Palace. He was full of information on the history of Portugal and Sintra in particular. His enthusiasm was very much appreciated for keeping us engaged and informed. He knew of many spots to take impactful photos. He assisted in taking many pictures of our family in breathtaking locations. After our tour he dropped us off at a spot to continue on our own It was a great experience and tour.
Nice guide with incredibly much knowledge and interesting stories. Arranged all the tickets we needed for the bus and entrance tickets. He made the day a memory for life. Highly recommended.
Amazing day and Carlos was fantastic and went above and beyond explaining the history and showing my family all the sites. The best tour to see so much of the sites in Sintra and area. Highly recommend!
My tour was canceled 10 minutes before the tour starts. I took an text rush to Sintra from Lisbon in the morning.
Antonio made the trip wonderful with his vast knowledge of the area. He took us to all the sites and explained the history. Highly recommend Antonio!!
We had a great guide Antonio, and learned a lot about Sintra and area. Only issue was out of our control was official government sites were closed due to fire risk, which was understandable due to the fires ranging Portugal. Antonio worked a great tour for us and would recommend him as a guide.
This tour is really well planned and I enjoyed the variety of places we visited . Helena is a lovely, fun , and caring person . She maximized our experiences and gave us just the right amount of history and information to make our visits more meaningful . Lunch was delicious and great value in a beautiful setting , and ourtreats along the way made it an extra special day . Be aware that Sintra and Peña Palace are very hilly and there’s a fair amount of uphill climbing. However , Helena tries to minimize that as much as possible by taking parking as close as she can , and I managed it even with my arthritic knees . It was a really memorable day .
Carlos found my sisters and I at the train station in Sintra. We were reading maps and trying to decide on our plan for the day to see all the sights we wanted to see. It was quickly clear that we were not going to be able to do it all, when Carlos found us. I admit we were a very hard sell but Carlos' charm and knowledge of the area and his promise to let us see it all and more won us over. In the end, this was the best guided tour we have ever been on! Carlos was super attentive, very funny and witty and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the region from the past Kingdom, politics, environment, legend and lore. We had an outstanding day and feel that we got the exclusive VIP tour of this beautiful area. Carlos was magic and we cannot say enough great things! You'd be considered very lucky if you are able to get Carlos to guide your excursion!!
The entire day …Diogo was very knowledgeable and could not have been more helpful. An exhausting day for the grandparents but we’ll worth it
Nuno was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgable and helped us efficiently navigate all the main sites in Sintra. We got to see way more than expected, and stops in Cabo da Roca and Cascais were a great way to end the day!
