Book the tour and see it all - 5 Stars for tour with Mario! You’re getting a ride from Lisbon all around the best places. The pacing of the trips were perfect! Enough time to explore without being rushed. He gave great information on the bus and at sites without overwhelming us. He helped taking pictures and gave recommendations. If you do this tour, BUY BOTH ENTRANCES! It is worth it and you don’t have to worry about buying again. We ended up staying in Cascais after stopping there because we wanted a beach day and Mario was very understanding and happy to show us where to go. Book the tour.

Really worth the time and money - We had a great day with our guide Pedro, he was very informative and personable, and went out of his way to make our trip one to remember. Sintra was great, but our personal favourite was the trip to Cascais. We might actually stay there in future, nice beaches and plenty of good food places. Thanks again Pedro!

Recommended - The guide was incredibly experienced and added plenty of humour along the way. Due to government legislation, the trip was altered on the day, but still very good

- Okay. - Although the itinerary was replaced by Sintra Palace and Klusch National Palace due to the fire, the latter will not disappoint. Especially the National Palace of Cluche, super beautiful! The guide is also very nice.

Proposed Day Trip to Sintra - Ivor was Great. However why was this tour which included Pena Palace still on offer by Trip Advisor when Pena Palace is closed between 5th to 7th Aug due to extreme weather conditions. We booked on evening of 5th). No communication of above nor given option to cancel. We would not have paid for what we got.

Very good - I had a fantastic time exploring Sintra and Cascais with our guide Catarina. She shared many interesting stories and jokes that made the trip feel like hanging out with friends. Although we couldn’t visit Pena Palace due to the high fire risk, we still saw beautiful places. I highly recommend this trip!
