Pena palace. - It was long enough to see the palace but not too long to take up the day. A lot of history in this tour.

Great tour and guide! - Diogo was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and courteous.
I wasn’t planning on going to Sinatra but the wife did; am happy I did though. A 4-hour tour is all you need to the basics of Sintra.
Highly recommend his tour.

Great Tour, Great Tour Guide - We had a fabulous tour with Joaquim- especially seeing we booked last minute. He was informative, very personable, gave us a break to eat the traditional Sintra pastry. He accommodated the weather with heavy fog limiting our experience and offered to drive us back via Cascai which was fantastic- both the explanations throughout the Moor Castle, Pena Palace and through Cascai. Even though it was difficult with so many international tourists, Joaquim, steered us through with clear and interesting stories. We had a fabulous tour

Cintra Peña Palace - Diago was a great guide.Funny and polite .We enjoyed our tour
Only suggestion is when changing plans of the day to advise us as we thought Peña Palace was the first part of the trip .

Really Cool Tour - Really cool to finally lay my eyes on this beautiful castle. Stretch before attempting to visit. It’s literally all up hill but worth it.

Just do it! - My husband and I did the half day Pena Palace, Sintra, and Cabo de Roca tour and we absolutely LOVED it! We wanted to do a half day tour only because we only had a few days in Lisbon and wanted to be able to do other site seeing later in the afternoon. Our guide was Antonio and he was amazing! He was prompt, picked us up on time and gave us an a great perspective on living in Portugal as a local. He explained a lot about the nature and geography of Portugal and also pointed out other important palaces, homes in the town. He was very knowledgeable and taught us quite a bit about Portugal. We even had a few minutes to stop in down town Sintra to buy some souvenirs. We enjoyed the one-on-one nature of the tour, ease of communication with Antonio and his partner Luis. This was a very memorable part of our trip and we are so appreciative of Antonio and his team for allowing us the opportunity to join the tour.

Not what we paid for - I want to start off by saying that the two guides were incredibly kind and polite and knowledgeable. They were great!
Beyond that, we were disappointed. There was no wifi available to us on the bus, we were not offered any water. It was my fault for providing the incorrect pick up address and I do not at all blame the company for the delay in start time.
We also said that we were okay not going in the palace as we really just wanted to be able to photograph the scenery and the outside/views.
We drove there and stood down below the palace and took some photos and then they asked if we wanted to return to Lisbon or they could drop us off at Cascaís and we could take the train back.
We thought we were going to go through the town of Sintra and explore the town as per the description and our main goal.
We basically paid only for a ride there, a visit up to the outside entrance of the Peña palace, and then we ate our own dinner in Cascaís and had to book our hour-long uber ride home. They only had to do a one-way trip and got to end at home in Cascaís where they lived.
It is disappointing that we did not get what we paid for. But the guides were great.

Disappointed - Our tour guide was nearly an hour late, which cut our tour significantly short. He was also booked for a second tour at 1:45, so he couldn’t make up for the lost time. We did not get to see or spend time in the village.

Good transfer - Palace was beautiful. Our guide stated there was no parking at any of the locations, and just dropped us off. This was more of a transfer service as opposed to a tour.
