Fast but essential - If the time of your stay in Lisbon is limited, in 1 day you can have a quick overview of Sintra , the 2 main seaside resorts and Belem. Personally we enjoyed this walk with Ana, friendly and dynamic, who is fluent in French and English.

We ended up having a... - We ended up having a private tour due to no shows. It was a lovely day with Sophia. She was extremely personable and entertaining. We were able to customize it a bit due to having already hit some of the stops on the tour. 10/10!

Enlightening and well worth it - I got to see a lot of places and learn more about the history of Portugal thanks to Gus! He shared some key details I didn’t hear from other tours! Absolutely fell in love with the history of Pena palace! This tour was rich not just in seeing new places but in getting historic knowledge as well. The ride was smooth, communication was 💯, service was also 💯, Gus was also very personable and made the trip enjoyable - It didn’t even feel like it was an 8-9 hours trip! I highly recommend this trip as you get to see so many historic places outside of Lisbon! I also liked that it included the pastel de nata from the first bakery in Belem - very symbolic of getting a true Portuguese experience. Thanks again Gus!!!

Very good company - I was very impressed with the fact that even though I was the only one the tour they didn’t cancel it. So I had a delightful private tour. Pena palace was great. I had the pastry in Belem. A very nice relaxing day tour indeed.

Limiting - The tour was less than average. Did not provide more information than what we found on the internet. The tour does not include access to the interior or time to explore the exterior of the castle further. We were dropped off at Sinatra 30 mins. An hour in Caiscas. Enough time to have lunch. Due to the short drop off, it's not worth the trip. I found we were able to pay 11 euros for an Uber to Belem from Lisbon to visit the sites we saw.
