When I decided to book a trip to Portugal and Spain, this Sintra excursion was the thing I did on my second full day in Lisbon. Miguel is the BEST HOST! Knowledgable, friendly, and literally from seeing Sintra’s highlights to the beach to the Westernmost Point of Europe and Pena Palace, this was one of the top moments of my euro girl summer. Do not hesitate and book this now!

You will have a great day if booked with Miguel. Please wear comfortable non slip shoes. There’s a lot of walking involved. Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable of all the historical areas we visited. It was a small group, it was so much more intimate. The other travelers were really nice and we all got along well. Miguel was really thoughtful about everyone. This was a great excursion. Highly recommended.
