Great impromptu tour - We used knight rider tourism to tour the palaces of Sintra with our guide Ruben. He was a great, knew all the best things to see and all the quick spots to get tickets & avoid lines. He Was very knowledgeable of all the history in the region. We didn’t have a well researched plan and after breakfast got directions from the barista to the tour bus. We decided we wanted a private tour/transportation for a reasonable 20€/person (I believe the public bus round trip is 15€/person that takes you to all the sights). Note: Ruben was a one man show who drove us from place to place and gave us the history of the region and each place. He was not a tour guide that joined you in the property. (I personally enjoyed this method as it allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted in each place).

Sintra Tour and Walk in Cabo da Roca - Disembarking (we were two couples) at Sintra station, we were a bit confused about what to do. Dozens of guides offered their services. We came across Henrique Susa (Knight Riders), a bit by chance. We immediately liked it and not for a moment we regretted our choice. As much guide as historian, he showed us the essentials of Sintra, without ever imposing anything on us, but with professionalism and efficiency. His excellent historical, artistic knowledge and perfect French made us spend an unforgettable day. Good advice, if you meet him, do not hesitate to choose it for a moment.

Great Experience - Ines and Daniel are both great. We arrived on Sintra around 1 PM and we were able to enjoy the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira. We were also able to watch the sunset at Cabo da Roca (Magical sunset) and then Daniel dropped us at the station in Cascais.

Nice way to get around - Even if you make your own visits, this company is very convenient and friendly. For my part, moving from Sintra station to the castle, then from the castle to a beach in Cascais. You are granted a vehicle with driver , it is at your disposal for the duration of the rental. In any case our driver was very friendly, speaks French and gave us advice. She knows every little nook and cranny.

Very pleasant and helpful - Friday 13.4.18. We arrived at Sintra by train without a plan of what we were going to do and found Ines at the station. We immediately liked her and decided to follow her advice and go with her to the Pena Palace and the Regaleira Palace. Everything went well. Ines was very helpful and pleasant and always on time. We really enjoyed the ride and had a lovely day and wish we had been there a couple of hours earlier. Thank you Ines. Reno(D) and Maria(GR).

Amazing! - Jose was amazing! He drove us through Sintra whilst explaining the history of the area. Jose was very friendly and the van was comfortable (much better then the public bus). Jose surprised us with a pastry when we got back from one of the tours! I recommend this company to everyone! 5 star service!!

Great way to see Sintra - We took the tour on the recommendation of friends who had been there before and thought this would be a far easier way to get around the city, avoid walking steep hills, and see more of what we wanted to see. The tour worked out very well for all of these reasons. Our guide Jose was good but it was occasionally difficult to follow his explanations. He was very nice about showing us the places we wanted to see and also showing us some spectacular views we never would have enjoyed on our own.

Enjoyed Palacio da Pena and Quinta da Regaleira - both fascinating however... - Ines was an enthusiastic and very engaging person. Met her at Sintra station which was not pre-planned. Good taxi driver for major sightseeing locations and happy to extend tour to Cape da Roca and Cascais. However we had to wait an hour after Pena( no mobile communication possible as her battery was flat )) and then after short lunch stop ( good recommendation ) we had to wait a further 20 mins for collection. There was not a lot of historical knowledge shared - perhaps we were expecting too much!
