Wonderful trip with Rui! - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip today. Excellent value for money . Our guide/driver Rui was very professional, welcoming, informative and entertaining. Our group was only 7 in total which was lovely. I would really recommend this trip if you want to see the sights around Sintra without the worry about transport and getting from a to b. Enough time at each venue and flexibility to do your own thing at each place. A wonderful day!

A tiring but very fulfilling day-trip to Sintra and associated places of interest - We found that this full-day tour seemed to provide the most comprehensive experience visiting Sintra and the associated places of interest, and so it turned out. The pickup was punctual and well-organised. The group of 45 was much larger than we expected, but our guide Ivo managed it easily with an engaging and efficient manner. He was clearly an experienced guide who knew how to advise us to get the best out of our visits. He was knowledgeable and informative, but also knew when to keep quiet and give us a rest. Our driver Phillipe managed the winding and congested roads with consummate skill. Overall, a tiring but very fulfilling day. Thanks to all concerned.

Amazing tour - great guide - perfect - The tour delivers exactly what it promises, Caterina our guide was great, fun and knowledgeable managing to herd the group around a tight schedule. I had a spare day and wanted to see as much as I could, this was for me, next time I’m back with my family I’ll take it more time over it but armed with all the insider knowledge from Catarina! Only note, I paid for the full tour, but didn’t end up going into the Palace at Peña- just wondered around the beautiful gardens for an hour and a half instead…

Sintra day trip with Maria - Right amount of time for the visit. Maria was very knowledgeable with the history and also other topics we talked about. We did not go in the Regalia. The Pena palace was very colorful and the weather was perfect. At Cascais, Maria gave us lunch recommendations and we loved the House of Wonders which had a very unique concept of visual menu instead of a booklet. Food was delicious. The waves were wild at the beaches!

Look for alternatives, offering real service - We had big expectations but this tour was very disappointing. Rude guide not giving us much information and no guided tour as expected. This is only a van dropping you at places, when you could either do it yourself or hire a real guided tour. We went back a couple days later with another company, paying more but worth it if you want a truly unforgettable day
