Sintra, Cascais, and Culture! - A great learning experience, enhance by our tour guide Emilio who combined wit and humor with his deep understanding of Portuguese culture. Mystical trip up into the hills of Sintra combined with the vibrant beach town of Cascais make this trip a winner. Plenty of time to explore on your own!

Great day tour full of fantastic views and hidden gems! - The tour makes things convenient and offer several options of buying your tickets We opted to get the transportation and book our castle with them. Pedro had been our guide and he was a fantastic liaison! He truly changed our experience. My husband had not been feeling well and he got him excited about the tour and pena palace by asking him about his Arabic ancestry and we found out he can read the translations on the walls! This really set up our experience. He also was so amazing at taking our photos and even asked others to move out of the way! We saw him trying to talk with as much guests as he can and made an effort to make this day a magical experience. He even escorted our group to a restaurant in Cascais and waited until we got seated. Pedro is a fantastic man and you'd want him if you want to make your day easier and memorable! I wish we had a Pedro in all of our tours!

I took the tour with a... - I took the tour with a friend who hadn't been to Sintra before, although I have, and both of us enjoyed it greatly, and I was grateful to learn more about it. Hats off to our guide Hugo, who was terrific - well-informed with lots of knowledge, and a real passion for history. He also kept our spirits up when we were stuck in traffic at times (busy Christmas period and a small crash on the road back to Lisbon). Not his fault, or that of the company. Recommended.

Scam - They charged me 20 € extra on the bus, since after paying for the tour when hiring it they tell me that to go up to the Palace I have to pay or they leave me in the village. When paying, he charges me €20 extra and I’m still waiting for them to be returned. The guide explained little and nothing, he said it in several languages and several times he forgot Spanish. He didn't explain anything but nothing from Palacio de la Pena or Regaleira, he just walked us to the door. We made few stops when in the description it says a few.... A DISASTER AND A SCAM. The worst spent €120 of my life. In short, it is better to go on your own and take a free tour, with another company of course.
