We had an exceptional tour with José that started with him picking us up from Lisbon, traveling to Moorish Castle, Peña Palace, Quinta da Regaleira and finishing back in Lisbon. In total it was about an 8 hour day.
Throughout the entirety of the trip José was knowledgeable, friendly, and went beyond what we expected. He tailored our trip to make the most out of each site and highlighted many things that we would have missed on our own or with a larger tour group.
In addition to making the sites more enjoyable, he gave us more information about the historic Sintra area, recommended a traditional restaurant for lunch, and gave us a better appreciation for the Portuguese people as well as the country as a whole.
The tour was fantastic, José was one of the best tour guides we have ever had, and we would highly recommend this tour.

Expectacular
The guide who attended us, very attentive, pending anything we needed. It is true that you pay to be attended, but this boy is spectacular, attentive to everything and always giving explanations of everything that we are showing, a ten because there is no more.

Do not miss out!
Absolutely wonderful experience and John (João) was an amazing guide throughout! He truly exceeded all of our expectations and could not imagine we would have seen or enjoyed Sintra anywhere near as much by ourselves. Was worth every cent and more!
事業者からの返答
Hello! We are happy to hear about your positive experience with Joao! He is always very knowledgeable and strives for the best experience for you. It's always a different experience when you go visit somewhere new alone vs. with a local, so we are glad you enjoyed and noticed that difference.
We hope to hear from you again if you return to Portugal!
Kind regards.

Stunning, informative, customized trip to Sintra
Thanks to Bruno we had a handcrafted visit to Sintra that met our needs and exceeded expectations. We visited Pena palace which is incredible, Monserrat palace which was a place to breathe in nature’s beauty and experience an elegant warm “home is your palace”. We also visited Mafra monastery and some secret views in apple beach. Everything was breathtaking, Bruno was super informative and friendly.

Hello Susanne, we appreciate your positive review! Pena and Monserrate are two of the prettiest palaces in Portugal, and we are glad you enjoyed visiting them with Bruno. Mafra monastery is less known, but it doesn't mean it's not pretty; it usually just has fewer lines and fewer people. We are glad to have exceeded your expectations, and we'd love to try doing it again if you come back to Portugal, so let us know!
Kind regards

Bruno does Sintra justice
The reviews are correct. Bruno is the best! Packed with history, some light hiking, palaces, amazing views, beautiful gardens, and a tour guide who provided the best experience of our time in Lisbon. He even debones fish! Thank you Bruno for a wonderful visit and great conversation; we learned so much! You are truly a free thinker and worldly soul.

Very helpful and unexpected places
The guides are locals with historical knowledge and enthusiasm, with whom you will get to the most beautiful unexpected places, which you will not easily find as a tourist. They think along with the needs of the company, are very helpful and pleasant to deal with. We had a great day! Thank you Bruno, Joāo and Ana!!

Hallo! Hartelijk dank dat u de tijd heeft genomen om ons te schrijven en uw ervaring met ons bedrijf te delen. Onze gidsen zijn echt deskundig, gepassioneerd en enthousiast in hun uitleg. Het is ook gemakkelijker om een privétour te doen omdat er verborgen juweeltjes zijn die alleen gidsen kennen. Bruno, João en Ana zullen het leuk vinden om je vriendelijke woorden te horen, je lof zal aan hen worden doorgegeven.
Portugal Unknown Tours verwelkomt u graag weer op uw volgende reis naar Portugal.
Met vriendelijke groet.

Wonderful day!
I’m someone who loves to travel and do tours in the cities I visit, so I always do a lot of research before I go. When I planned my trip to Sintra, I knew that although Quinta da Regaleira is incredible, it tends to be very crowded, and I wanted to avoid that. After reading several reviews, I decided to visit Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace, and what a fantastic choice it was! It was an amazing experience that I highly recommend!
The tour was excellent. The team at Portugal Unknown Tours was always helpful, taking care of the ticket purchases for us, which allowed us to relax and not worry about anything. There was always excellent communication with everyone, which made me feel super at ease throughout the day. Our guide, José, was absolutely amazing! He gave us the best suggestions, explained everything with great dedication, and even accompanied us on the visits to the monuments, which was a great "plus" for us.
In the afternoon, we visited the beaches in the area and had the chance to enjoy a delicious fish lunch, which was absolutely amazing! We also visited the westernmost point of Europe and ended the day with a relaxing walk through the historic center of Cascais.
I highly recommend this tour with Portugal Unknown Tours! Thank you for such a wonderful day! See you soon!

Amazing
This was an amazing tour. José was extremely knowledgeable about the area and so kind and thoughtful. We learned about the history and saw many awesome vistas. He brought us to an awesome little restaurant/bakery for lunch (not included). The tour company was Portugal Unknown, and I highly recommend this tour. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was.
