Our private tour with... - Our private tour with Diogo was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome and taken care of. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and so easy to talk to. The entire day was perfectly paced, with just the right mix of guided touring, and time to explore on our own. We appreciated his attention to detail, his flexibility, and the thoughtful touches that made the experience truly special. If you’re visiting Portugal and want a meaningful, personalized experience — book this tour, you won’t regret it!

Richardo is Amazing - This full day trip is so worthwhile doing with Richardo. He was very personal, knowledgeable & and friendly. He’s local from Sintra so knows all the history, routes to take and local spot for lunch which was awesome as well. Restaurante O APEADEIRO the food and service was amazing and they even treated us to some Port & dessert (Pillow) We definitely recommend booking with this company and asking for Richardo. Over the top it was.

Sintra, Cascais, and hiking all day… oh, my!!! - This was such a great tour. Lots of walking, more like hiking all the way to the Pena Castle; but, it was well worth it. Just be prepared for a lot of steep path and it’s cobble stones all the way. It was an all day activity. The weather was nice, in the low 70F, which made the hiking bearable. Ricardo, our tour guide picked us up at 9 am and we did not get back until 6:30 pm. He spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about Sintra and Cascais, and gave us some tips of the trade so we don’t end up standing in long lines just to see the inside of the castles. Cascais was beautiful and reminded me of Monaco. All in all it was a memorable tour considering that this is our first time in Portugal.
