Wonderful experience and day with our very knowledgeable guide, Keith! The tour included Sintra and surroundings plus a trip to the beach for lunch. I can't think of how this day could have been better!
Rui was very informed about his countries history. His friendly attitude was very enjoyable. His English was a plus. It was a pleasant and informative day.
This tour was priceless. Our guide was kind, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about Portugal. We all hung on every word and very much enjoyed the pace of the day, the company, and the history of Portugal. Miguel was outstanding. I would repeat in a heartbeat.
Be prepared to be gone for a whole day. One couple were in their late 70’s and found it a bit tiring. Rui was fabulous and entertaining, his knowledge of the history, area, and fun facts. Be aware you need to take a lot of water. We would recommend to anyone and everyone! Thanks Rui you were great. Arman and family.
Our guide, Rui, is a very friendly guy. He took care of us all day long and gave a fantastic tour through Sintra , the coast with some beautiful beaches and lastly Cascais. He told us many stories about the places and showed us a great restaurant with a beautiful view. Highly recommanded.
My friends and I did a private tour with Jaoa and had so much fun! He somehow knew the answer to every question I had and was such a fine addition to our group for the day. He also gave us the best recommendations for what to do for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend him!
Great tour guide who gave a wonderful tour with interesting information. It was a bad weather day that the guide manage with great skill.
We had an incredible 5-star experience on our private tour to Sintra and the surrounding communities with Keith. From start to finish, he was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing history, local insight, and interesting details that really brought each stop to life. What stood out most was how seamless everything felt, especially given our booking was made on very short notice. Despite the tight turnaround, Keith and the team organized everything perfectly and delivered a smooth, well-planned experience without any stress or confusion. Keith was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about the region, which made the entire day even more enjoyable. He tailored the experience to what we wanted to see and made sure we got the most out of every moment. We would highly recommend Keith to anyone looking for a private tour in the Sintra area. Truly a 5-star experience from beginning to end.
Our guide Gui provided a perfect experience for us. Took the time to learn what we wanted and modified the experience to match our desires and expectations. Provided meaningful suggestions that saved us time and made for a perfect, custom experience.
