Awesome Tour and awesome guide! - Jorge was an amazing guide. He knew all kinds of shortcuts and special “off the beaten path” experiences, ranging from picturesque locations for photos to where to find the fire salamanders in the forest. He seemed to know everyone at each venue - they were happy to see him and he got us expedited access to various spots. The drives were full of great advice and tips. He even made a call for us to help us out with a dinner reservation we were running late for to get us out of a cancellation fee. He was very accommodating and went out of his way to ensure we got in, ranging from the palace and forest to moorish castle to a stop a the westernmost point in Europe for photos to shopping and a wine tour. I highly recommend and if we get back to Portugal for another tour with difference venues, we’d want Jorge again!

Fantastic, fabulous, friendly - Giovana was absolutely fantastic. Kind, knowledgeable, and considerate of my elderly traveling companion. She knew when to be engaged and when to give us space. Her inside knowledge of Sintra, as a resident, was priceless. All the staff at the destinations knew her personally.

Hidden gem, best tour guide Leo!! - The Sintra area, Pena Palace and Moorish Castle are a-must see for anyone visiting Lisbon. We had no idea how amazing and beautiful the Sintra area would be. We went with Leo who actually lives in the Sintra area. He was the master of taking shortcuts so we avoided most of the traffic and saw things others guides don’t show.. Also, he had a great personality, really flexible, and spoke 5 languages and his English was excellent. I can honestly say this was the best tour our family has ever taken. Leo made a few extra stops, not on our itinerary which made the whole experience feel like we were VIPs. He knew almost everyone in Sintra. He recommended a great place for lunch and food was exceptional. There’s a lot of walking up steep hills, pathways and you’ll climb a lot of stairs - I mean a lot., but it is worth it. Best part is Leo took a lot of pics of our family and air dropped the pics at the end of the tour. He has a background in media and his pics were professional looking and he knew all the best spots for that perfect pic. I would recommend Leo and this tour to anyone!!!
