Private Monuments Tour in Sintra from Lisbon

We had a fantastic day with Jose. Saw all four monuments because of Jose’s superb planning and getting us at the right place at the right time. I’d highly recommend this trip with Jose!!!!!

Jose was an amazing guide. He did a great job getting us through the crowds and helped us learn about the history behind them. We highly recommend Lisbon on wheels. Consider yourself lucky if you get Jose as your guide.

Jose was a wonderful tour guide. We learned much about Portuguese history along with info about each of the four monuments we visited. He is incredibly knowledgeable. He offered advice about the best way to get around each site which was extremely helpful as one of us finds it hard to navigate stairs. He is funny and fun.

We were a group of four. We all had a wonderful day exploring Sintra, Portugal with our guide Jose Ribiero. Jose is a fountain of knowledge on the history of Portugal and many other topics. I cannot express how great it was to be able to ask questions and get a detailed answer. He is enthusiastic, funny, engaging, and manages to keep his clients entertained. He knows how to get around Sintra efficiently and what are the true highlights of each monument. I highly recommend Jose as a guide particularly for those who enjoy learning history and interesting facts about those who shaped history.

We had the best time with Jose in Sintra! Not only was the value for this trip incredible, but Jose was a fantastic guide, providing us with a level of detail and insight we never would have had on our own. He helped to avoid crowds, got us good photo ops, had amazing stories, and helped us feel like locals. The whole day was full of laughter and good times, my fiance and I can't stop talking about the entire experience and how much fun we had. We would highly recommend this tour and couldn't speak more highly of Jose!!

Jose was an amazing guide. We booked relatively last minute, and the weather was rainy, so he actually helped us adjust in real time to make the most of our trip and it turned out fabulous. He's very knowledgeable and fun to tour with. He drove us in a clean private car and made sure we had our tickets and entries into everything. Not having to be in a huge group was definitely a huge plus and time saver. We will use him for sure the next time we're in Lisbon!

Jose did an amazing job organizing a private tour for us on very short notice. Also, the weather was not great, so we made some game time decisions to maximize our trip and have a great time without getting soaked. He has amazing knowledge and a fun an engaging style that makes the whole travel and sight seeing so much fun. A must book guide if your’re in Portugal. He also gave us great tips for follow-up adventures for the next day that were spot on!

This was the highlight of my trip to Portugal (2 nights pre-cruise in Lisbon. My. partner and I were picked up at our hotel at the arranged time by our guide, who was also the driver. This was a private tour (just us), so we were able to walk at our own pace and rest as needed. We climbed to the top of the Moorish castle and then toured the colorful Pena Palace. We had time for lunch on our own. Then I toured the interior of the National Palace of Sintra (partner elected to skip this one). The last tour was Quinta da Regaleira, and I saw the inside of the house (too tired to visit the gardens). We were dropped off at our hotel by our wonderful guide (the best guide on our whole trip). She went with us everywhere and offered insights to the beautiful architecture. There was a lot of walking (challenging inclines, etc.), but this was an unforgettable experience.

We had an outstanding day with Jose as our guide! Attempting all 4 monuments was indeed monumental! Jose kept a slow but steady pace and we were thrilled to see Sintra so completely. If you can walk and climb lots of steps, this trip is not to be missed!

Jose is an exceptional guide, with outstanding knowledge and historical perspectives. Personable, and when he senses lightens the moment . We were hit with drenching downpour and he was flexible and helpful throughout our all day Pvt. Tour.
