Unforgettable Private Tour to Sintra with Francisco! - We had an incredible 8-hour private tour to Sintra with Francisco from Lisbon Daytrip. He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. Being a local born and raised near Cascais, Francisco gave us a true insider’s view of the region. He customized the day to our interests, taking us to iconic sites like Pena Palace and other locations with breathtaking views. Traveling by private car made everything smooth and relaxing, and his timing helped us avoid crowds at every stop. Moreover, Francisco’s English proficiency was excellent, with only a slight accent, making communication effortless. Throughout our 20-day Europe trip, we had several other tour guides, and many of them had strong accents that made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. With Francisco, we had no trouble understanding him at all, which added greatly to the quality of the tour. This was by far one of the highlights of our Europe trip. If you're visiting Lisbon and want a stress-free, informative, and memorable day trip to Sintra, Francisco is the guide to book!

Excellent Day Trip 10/10 ⭐️ - Francisco was so efficient, kind, funny, and hospitable. The tour was fantastic, we got to see so much more than we expected to, yet all at a calm and relaxed pace. He knows what to do, where to go, when to do it all, to be able to avoid crowds and queues to not waste any of your time. He always put our desires first of what we wanted to see. It was a seamless day where we really got to enjoy Sintra and beyond to its fullest. Thank you, Francisco for the new day ever!!

BEST GUIDE! Book this trip for Sintra! - Francisco was the BEST GUIDE! We had such a wonderful time exploring Sintra and Cascais with him. The van was comfortable, the views amazing, and the excursions delightful!!! Francisco knew literally everything about everything, and was so kind and helpful. He was great at picking good activities to do (Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Cascais Bay) and gave us a delicious seafood restaurant and historical bakery to stop for bites to eat. The only thing I regret is that we didn't have more time with him! Thank you, Francisco!

Wonderful experience!!! - Our flight was scheduled to arrive in Lisbon at 6:30am & knew we could not check into our hotel until 3pm so we booked a private tour with Fransisco to spend the day in Sintra . He picked us up at our hotel at 8:30am and we brought our luggage with us in his car. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Portugal. He drive us to Pena Palace, The Moore Castle and took us to lunch at a local restaurant in the village of Sintra. The town was so charming! He even walked with us through the narrow streets and suggested doing a shot of Ginja (cherry Liqueur) in a chocolate cup. It was a true experience and one we will never forget! He drove us back to Lisbon stopping at various beaches along the way. We packed in so much in one day & would highly recommend this tour!!!! Abrigada Francisco!!!

Highlight of Portugal - This was one of the absolute highlights of our three week trip. Francisco was a phenomenal guide and got us to each location before the crowds became too large. Could not recommend his services enough.
