Fantastic Tour with Tomás - Wonder Van - Earlier this week, my husband and I took an early train from Lisbon to Sintra to meet our group and guide for the tour of Sintra and the coast. We were surprised and delighted to be told by Tomás - that we would be the only guests that day! We had an amazing experience. Not only did we skip the lines for the Peña Palace and Regaleira but Tomás was so informative and interesting to listen to as a guide. His English was excellent and as a local he showed us places from his upbringing and special spots. We also saw the Cabo da Roca and Cascais. We took a train back to Lisbon after a drink in that beautiful and bustling seaport town. We highly recommend Tomás and Wonder Van as a tour company.

In short, the Secrets of Sintra tour with Alex exceeded all my expectations. - I had the pleasure of participating in the Secrets of Sintra tour and was absolutely delighted with the experience. Our guide, Alex, proved to be an exceptional professional, combining deep historical knowledge with a kindness and generosity that made the tour unforgettable. His mastery of local history is impressive; he led us through fascinating tales about Sintra, from elite life in bygone eras to details about Portugal’s role in world exploration. These narratives provided a unique depth to each site visited, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of the places, but also their historical and cultural significance. We visit emblematic places such as the historic center, the National Palace, the Quinta da Regaleira and Cascais. In each, Alex provided detailed and captivating explanations, always willing to answer our questions and share anecdotes that enriched our understanding. Their enthusiasm for Portuguese history and culture is infectious, and their ability to convey information clearly and enjoyably is truly admirable.

Perfect Day - Truly an amazing day spent in Sintra and Cascais. Thank you to our tour guide, Tomas Silva, for making this day memorable. He took his time explaining all the sites, gave us time to explore on our own. We never felt rushed. He was very patient and kind with our over excited 8 years old son! Again, thank you 😊

Tomas Silva is the best! - Tomas picked us up promptly from our hotel and we toured amazing sites in Sintra, including the National Palace and Regaleira. Tomas was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites and accommodated any requests for adjustments to our tour. Had an amazing lunch at a local venue, truly immersing ourselves in Portuguese culture. We will definitely request Tomas for future tours.

A Very Enjoyable Trip by WonderVan - A very enjoyable experience taking a private tour to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais with WonderVan. Alex, our tour guide, was very interactive. He not only explained the important aspects of each destination but also recommended snacks to buy and try, which were indeed delicious! Alex's knowledge of history is excellent, and coincidentally, I also love history, so we ended up talking a lot about it. By chatting with Alex, we gained various new perspectives on the lives of the elite in Sintra from the past to the present, as well as about the Age of Discovery and Portugal's role in world exploration. Besides history, Alex is also a football fan, and we had lively conversations about football. Overall, the service from WonderVan and Alex was exceptionally good, prompt, and responsive. We are very satisfied with our experience.
