Informative and enjoyable visit - Despite the bad weather causing some alterations to the planned schedule we still had a great day led by Gustavo from Lisbon Ahead. His enthusiasm for and knowledge of his country’s history was inspiring. He was polite, punctual and adaptable. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing experience! - We had an amazing experience with this tour. Our tour guide Gustavo was so amazing! He went above and beyond by suggesting places to visit and eat for the rest of our stay. The nicest tour guide you will meet! He knew exactly where the good spots were and what we could skip. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of everything! Highly, highly recommend this tour, ask for Gustavo!

Greet day! - Gustav was excellent! He did bring his great energy and knowledge. He was very on time and communication was great. The trip overall was very enjoyable. We made it in good time to see Pena palace before the crowds. The time spent in the town was just enough. The Moorish castle was a delight to end the day calmly after all the walking around. If you want to see Quinta…get tickets asap!!

Great day trip to Sintra - We picked this itinerary because it gives you time at both Pena Castle and in Sintra village. Our guide Gustavo is knowledgeable, friendly and a lot of fun to be with. He also shielded us from the long queues to get tickets and to get into Pena Castle. 5 stars all the way!

Great paced tour - I only had 2.5 days in Lisbon. I'm really happy I took this tour to Sintra! We saw alot in the day but it didn't feel rushed. Monserrate Palace & Gardens was serenity. Less crowded than the other Palaces. It took my breath away at how beautiful it was. Gustavo our guide was fun, knowledge and organized. I highly recommend this tour 👌🏼 Note: It's alot of walking, including alot of hills and uneven ground.

Visited Sintra on... - Visited Sintra on 01/06/25. It was a 5 star tour with a 6 star tour guide. Paulo guided us with so much knowledge and enthusiasm. A must to do if one is passionate about art, culture and history. The Park and Palace of Monserrate is a beautiful piece of architecture.

Fun Tour but Watch Your Back! - This was a fun day and very informative. Our guide Augusto was excellent! Sintra is a lovely little town and well worth the visit. The Pene Palace was also worth seeing but visitors should know that there is quite a hike to get to the palace itself. I ended up injuring my back and that hindered my enjoyment of the tour. Just a word of warning.
