Sintra tour with Rodrigo - Rodrigo was an amazing guide on our tour to Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive to all of his guests. He provided lots of interesting insights and historical facts. He answered every question we threw at him and gave great shopping suggestions. Rodrigo took the time to get to know each one us and truly made this a memorable and fun experience!

Great day out! - This was the perfect trip. I loved that the group size was small and pick up/ drop off was at my hotel door for convenience. We had the perfect amount of free time and Rodriguez our tour guide made great suggestions for places to see, eat and shop. I would highly recommend this tour.

Low value - You can go to Sinatra on your own, and visit Peña Palace, paying less. Hop on a Uber and then go to the palace. We had a nice host, but it becomes expensive when you tour everything alone, and he only drives you around. Low value for your dollar

Check program before booking - We were reluctant to book as Sintra was always a must go. Unfortunately we love history and wanted to have a complete guided tour, and although the guide was friendly, we felt the program was “for tourists”, lacking a bit of genuine side. Peña Castle inside was a bit disappointing, and we could have done the exterior only, beautiful views. We did most of it on our own. Not what we expected

Not great - Pena Palace was crowded and unfortunately we did not have our guide inside with us, as he stayed outside talking to other guides. We were lost inside which was not great. Nothing against the young man, polite but not so engaged with us. Worst of all, we did not feel so safe with the driving. Sort of an old van. Cascais was very nice and paid off
