Absolutely Perfect - Our tour guide Marco was absolutely amazing! He was early to our hotel and was very easy to talk too, even going so far as to teach us different phrases. When he heard we had walked around Sintra the day before he adjusted the tour and took us to Cascais, in particular he showed us beaches and took us to an amazing seafood restaurant on the beach. He then showed us where to get authentic gelato. My husband and I had so much fun and felt so lucky to see Sintra and Cascais from a locals perspective!

Super Sintra Side Trip - The Moorish Castle access is VERY steep steps with no handrail. My husband has breathing issues on inclines & some balance issues. So our guide,Ana, wisely suggested we spend the time in the Sintra town itself. It was charming with plenty of photo opps & she told us the history of the area as we strolled. Her English was very good & easy to understand. She was concise, thorough & interjected humor to keep our attention. Pena Palace was beautiful inside & out. Some steps but not difficult. Interesting history in changing from a monastery to a royal palace of several generations. Ana’s skill in judging the time to drive from town to Pena, navigating the many hairpin curves& getting a parking spot was as much fun to watch as the tour itself. She was phenomenal! Then we continued on a lovely drive to the coast to La Roca to see a lighthouse set on cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the most western tip of Europe. Lunch was at a restaurant further along also at cliff side where she scored a window seat for us. The ride back to Lisbon was scenic and full of anecdotes from Ana’s personal experience as she grew up & still lives in the area. At the end of the day we felt we had truly made a friend, not just an acquaintance. We highly recommend the trip and Ana.

Sintra Tour - Anna was a great guide, very passionate about Portugal, the drive to Sintra was very pleasant, Anna is obviously well known to all the Sintra tourist personals, this was evident as we travelled to all different venues and place of interest access was made without any fuss. Thank you Anna for a great trip.

Great Tour with Pedro. - Pedro was engaging and knowledgeable. He was attentive and kind. Beautiful culture tour. Please note that there are many stairs at the Moor castle. In addition, there is a steep incline climb to the castle. Be prepared. Wear sneakers!

The trip that never was… - The trip was canceled by Viator. We paid $366.86, was replaced with national palace of Sintra and Palace of Queluz. Which I could’ve purchased from. Viator for less than $50.00. We were given a guide that didn’t speak about the properties that we are visiting. Spent more time talking about a personal life… and and texted the tickets to the second Palace only to find out she don’t send me one ticket. Luckily, that Palace ticket person allowed my wifeto go through anyway.
