Leisurely family tour of Sintra - Our guide Bernardo was very knowledgeable and personable. The description of the tour matched the day. We really enjoyed getting to see Sintra in a relaxed leisurely way. Sintra is a beautiful spot to see outside Lisbon. We enjoyed everything from our first stop the Moorish Castle, sweet treats in Sintra, Monserrate Palace, lunch at the beach and Cabo da Roca.

Private tour with Bernardo is well worth it - A friend recommended Bernardo to us and we actually booked him two days in a row. Having a private tour guide was a big advantage as we could tailor our day as we wished. The day in Sintra was so magical. It was like a fairytale town come alive. Unfortunately, the Pena Palace was closed due to weather so we spent the majority of our time at Quinta da Regaleira castle and I am glad we did. The imagination of the owner to build such an elaborate grounds, gardens, tunnels and the piasta resistance, the initiation well was spectacular. Now I need to read Dante’s inferno…iykyk. Highly recommend Bernardo, very professional and knowledgeable.

Chilled day trip in Sintra with Bernardo - Booked up a chilled Sintra day trip with Bernardo and had a great experience with his excellent knowledge of the area, and the way he made everything so easy and relaxed for us! Great communication, modeling the trip around what we wanted from the experience and once it started we could just relax and let him guide us through the wonder of Sintra! Beautiful day from pick up to drop off, thanks Bernardo!
