My girlfriend and I booked this tour last minute just looking for things to do and were blown away about how much fun we had. Manuel, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and insightful during the tour. The trip was about 1:30 hours which was perfect. 10/10 would recommend if looking to learn more about the history of Sintra and Portugal in a fun capacity.
