We had a great guide... - We had a great guide Antonio, and learned a lot about Sintra and area. Only issue was out of our control was official government sites were closed due to fire risk, which was understandable due to the fires ranging Portugal. Antonio worked a great tour for us and would recommend him as a guide.

Excellent tour and day trip . - This tour is really well planned and I enjoyed the variety of places we visited . Helena is a lovely, fun , and caring person . She maximized our experiences and gave us just the right amount of history and information to make our visits more meaningful . Lunch was delicious and great value in a beautiful setting , and ourtreats along the way made it an extra special day . Be aware that Sintra and Peña Palace are very hilly and there’s a fair amount of uphill climbing. However , Helena tries to minimize that as much as possible by taking parking as close as she can , and I managed it even with my arthritic knees . It was a really memorable day .

Carlos is the BEST Tour Guide in Sintra! - Carlos found my sisters and I at the train station in Sintra. We were reading maps and trying to decide on our plan for the day to see all the sights we wanted to see. It was quickly clear that we were not going to be able to do it all, when Carlos found us. I admit we were a very hard sell but Carlos' charm and knowledge of the area and his promise to let us see it all and more won us over. In the end, this was the best guided tour we have ever been on! Carlos was super attentive, very funny and witty and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the region from the past Kingdom, politics, environment, legend and lore. We had an outstanding day and feel that we got the exclusive VIP tour of this beautiful area. Carlos was magic and we cannot say enough great things! You'd be considered very lucky if you are able to get Carlos to guide your excursion!!

Excellent private tour - Nuno was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgable and helped us efficiently navigate all the main sites in Sintra. We got to see way more than expected, and stops in Cabo da Roca and Cascais were a great way to end the day!

A must see!! - My favorite sights we saw on our trip to Portugal. Pedro was a perfect guide and storyteller. We learned a lot and enjoyed his company. Sintra and Casxais should not be missed!
