Skip the lines at Sintra!! - Our guide, Simon, was great! Very knowledgeable and accommodating and friendly, but also allowed for personal space and time on our own. Doing Sintra with a guide was so much easier!!

A very good trip - The day tour was a great way of visiting both Sintra and Cascais. Our guide Nunu was extremely informative without overloading us. We spent time in the Pena Palace gardens which all of us (8 in the group) really enjoyed. Going around the inside of Pena Palace was very crowded and you had to go at the (slow) pace of the line. Scenic drive via the Capo to Cascais, where two of us had a swim. Covered a lot in a day.

Fantastic Day! - I only had two days to explore and wanted to visit Sintras. This full day trip was great. Our guide, Oriana was amazing from start to finish, giving us so much information about things we saw on the way, all about the Palace and the stories. We only wish we had more time in both Sintra and Caiscais town centers, but grateful to have spent time in both. We also had such beautiful weather! We took her up on lunch and bakery suggestions in Sintra as well as to taste Santini ice cream in Caiscais- delicious! If you would like a full day to visit take this tour. It was also a small group of 8 of us, so we it was a nice way to meet others as well! Good times. So glad I booked.

Beautiful palace -garden tour strenuous - Much more strenuous that the description would lead you to think. Most of the garden tour was uphill and downhill on slippery walkways in very close jungle like conditions Palace and views of the surrounding area were beautiful Gardens and work to build them impressive

Misleading Description of Walking Tour - The walking portion through the Palace gardens was more strenuous than the details in the tour description. It would have been helpful to know this beforehand so we could choose the option of using the bus transfer from the parking area to the Palace.
