100% recommend him.
Fantastic! Joaquim (Pedro) was recommended to us by friends and was fun, professional and knowledgeable. My 91 year old mobility impaired mom was able to enjoy all the activities and sites. You will be lucky if he’s available and sets up your tour.

Enjoyable day trip to Sintra
My wife and I had a wonderful day visiting the area around Sintra together with 3 other couples. Our guide, Joaquim, expertly navigated our group through the crowds while providing insightful commentary on every point of interest and becoming an impromptu photographer for the group. The trip also included a lunch stop at a restaurant (great food and alcoholic beverages), at Colores, and at Caiscas. We highly recommend this tour!

Pedro knows his stuff
Pedro is a fantastic tour guide and really knows the information about Sintra and Pena Palace. He also allowed us to decide how the tour would go whether we wanted purely information or the ability to just take pictures. As a group we opted for a hybrid and he knew some great places for photos. A member of the group also suggested that we eat later in the tour rather than at lunchtime which Pedro was more than happy to accommodate.
The only negative for me was the vehicle and for it not being a hot day it wouldn’t have been an issue but the A/C in the mini van was intermittent and after walking up hill in the heat then getting into the van it was uncomfortable

Hi Richard , was truly a pleasure to spend the day with you. Thank you so much for for your wonderful review. ( I deserve the 5 stars ) (the fact of the AC is not my fault - also a couple of times have been working to refresh All of You, not been OFF all the Way during the tour )…
Anyways ! I’m delighted you enjoy Sintra and Cascais and took back home beautiful pictures and memories . Wishing you many wonderful journeys ahead , and wishing to welcome you back to Portugal again soon , all the best , Joaquim Pedro

My husband and I had an amazing time on this guided tour. Our guide, Joaquim, was extremely knowledgeable of each site we visited. He also gave us some good tips of where the best photography shots would be, giving us ample time at each location to get our pictures. He suggested a good breakfast spot to try some local pastries and also took us to a delicious lunch with fresh seafood. The tour was 8 people in total including our guide which felt like a great size to travel with. We saw some really amazing sites but my favorite was the Regaleira. The craftsmanship was just beautiful. You definitely get your bang for your buck with this tour. I would highly recommend booking it.

Extraordinary experience
Joaquim is an extraordinary guide: he knows the secrets of Lisbon and its surroundings. He has an in-depth knowledge of Portuguese history and an innate elegance in telling it. His English is perfect and he is ready to help you in any situation. He was much more than a guide for us, but a true travel companion.
Thank you!

Private Sintra and Cascais tour with Joaquim
We had such a great full day on our tour with Joaquim. We arrived at the palace tours early before they got too crowded. Joaquim was knowledgeable and friendly. Every stop was beautiful and he knew where to take all the scenic pictures. Highly recommend him and this tour. Thank you Joaquim!
