Excellent tour guide for the rich history of Portugal - We prefer to take the small group tours over the large bus tours for several reasons, including a more personalized experience, spending more time at the locations you want to visit, and the potential to meet other tourists who might share their tips. This was the case on our tour with Simon, who picked us up from the apartment we were staying at. We were only a group of seven, very manageable, and everyone got along. Our visit to Sintra was nice. For me the garden and the story of the founding of the site was significantly more interesting that the heavily visited castle. It is a distinctive structure since in blends in so many styles, but very crowded inside. We also had a nice local lunch, saw the Pena National Palace, and had a quick stop at Cabo da Roca and Cascais, where we had time on our own. A well organized tour, and Simon, despite his youth, seemed well versed in the history and enjoyed sharing it with our group. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with him, though I personally would prefer off-the-beaten-path locations next time we are in Lisbon.

Request Nuno to be your tour guide 10/10 day guaranteed - Nuno picked us up at our hotel and was amazing the entire trip. He was full on information about the history of Lisbon and truly loved his country. It was one of the best TripAdvisor bookings we've ever done.
