This tour was amazing, got to see all of the gorgeous spots outside of Lisbon and had a blast with our tour guide. Very friendly, fun, and group-friendly tour. Would recommend!
Bruno, our tour guide, was incredible, and the entire experience was well worth it! The tour secured the best entry time for Pena Palace, allowing us to be first in line. That alone made the trip worthwhile—we had 10–15 minutes to enjoy the palace and take amazing photos before the crowds arrived. The tour involves a lot of walking, but my two children, ages 5 and 9, and my 73-year-old mother completed it just fine. We were tired afterward, but we saw so much of the area and felt the tour was absolutely worth the money.
We have best experience. We skip the queues. Lukas with the k is a King . Thank you Lukas for amazing day.
Lukas with a "K" is a fantastic tour guide full of knowledge & expertise. He planned a very organized tour. shared lots of history & has a great sense of humour. I hope he is paid well as he deserves it! One of the highlights is arriving at the Pena Palace early so that you skip the long lines. It is a very busy day filled with lots of stops & a fabulous lunch. I would have liked to have had a bit of free time in Cascais but that's for another tour. Lunch was delicious @ a charming family run restaurant where we spent time getting to know our group better. Have made new friends and bonded over vino & great conversation. All in all, we had a great day exploring the countryside above Lisbon.
Really enjoyed the well organised small group tour with Eddy, who also drove our mini van. Our guide knew the best spots to get the best views and avoid the crowds, arriving early at Pena Palace. Clearly a dab hand at taking the pictures and videos for the group. The commentary was informative, funny and his choice of music and karoke skills - the best. The scenic spots along the coast were worth the time. The van weaved with ease through the bendy roads, especially in Sintra. Expect a fair amount of walking uphill, to get to Pena Palace as well as the Initiation well at Quinta da Regaleira. The lunch was hearty, fresh and reasonably priced. Happy with Happy Tours 😃
In a small group we were the first to arrive at the palace, with Eddy our guide, they let us through before they opened so we made spectacular photos without people! The food was very delicious and overall the whole tour was super nice, because we made many stops in wonderful places. Thank you Eduardo for always watching us ✨
King Lukus was the best Tour Guide because he knew the history and answered every question. He has the best personality for his field. He’s a natural!
Such an amazing guide, interactive and knows his history! First in line and best food options, it tastes amazing! Hundred percent advise booking with Bruno, so worth it! Additionally its with a small and easy, nice group! All authentic food and amazing cultural and environmental experience
Lukas and Eddie were outstanding tour guides. It was an amazing experience, and they made a ten-hour trip incredibly fun from start to finish. What I loved most was that they never felt like "just" our guides. Instead, it felt as though we were spending the day with friends who were excited to share their favorite places with us. Another highlight was capturing those memories on film. They knew all the best spots for photos and made sure everyone came away with incredible pictures to remember the day. They also knew exactly when to take us to each location to avoid the crowds, and their knowledge of the area was exceptional. Their passion, expertise, and genuine hospitality made this one of the highlights of our trip.
Beautiful day of discoveries. Our guide Elisa was very good. She knows the visited places well. The dinner is excellent, 28 euros for an all-inclusive with unlimited drinks. Plan for good shoes because there are several climbs. You must also plan for cash to pay the entrance fees to the guide at the end of the day, We did the tour in French and English because there were 5 other very friendly English-speaking people with us.
