We had a fantastic day touring Sintra with Wonder Van. Our guide Raphael was excellent — friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He shared plenty of interesting history and information throughout the day and was always happy to answer our questions. The tour was extremely well organised and gave us the opportunity to see and experience so much without ever feeling rushed. We particularly enjoyed having time at different stops to explore on our own before meeting back with the group. It was a great balance between being guided and having some freedom to look around at our own pace. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. A great way to experience Sintra and the surrounding area. Thank you Raphael and Wonder Van for a fantastic day. Highly recommended
We had such a great experience touring Sintra with Raphael! He was an excellent guide with so much knowledge and made the entire day seamless. He also answered our many misc questions. We never could have seen and experienced everything we did on our own. There was no time wasted, and his history shared throughout the day was fantastic. We also really enjoyed having breaks to walk around and explore on our own before regrouping, which gave us the perfect balance of a guided tour and free time. A great experience from start to finish — highly recommend Raphael!

The guide Raphael was fantastic! Great energy, knowledge and person. I highly recommend doing a tour with him if you every get the chance
We had a wonderful experience touring Sintra and Cascais with Tomás Silva! Sintra was extremely busy and crowded, and the day could easily have felt rushed and overwhelming, but Tomás made the experience enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about the history and the places we visited and was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to everyone in the group. I especially appreciated how accommodating he was with me, as I was a little more limited with climbing stairs. He never made me feel rushed and helped make the experience comfortable while still allowing me to enjoy as much as possible. What really stood out was that Tomás went beyond the tour itself. He took extra time to give us helpful guidance and recommendations for the rest of our stay in Lisbon, which we greatly appreciated. Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira, and Cascais were beautiful, but having Tomás as our guide made the experience even more memorable. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and especially Tomás, to anyone visiting Lisbon!
Raphael was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and he was very kind and patient with everyone. He made a very rushed and crowded experience enjoyable.
