Sintra, Pena Palace and Cascais with Ivo! - The trip was a smooth running and enjoyable experience, thanks to the expertise and professionalism of Ivo, our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and treated us like family, not just tourists. The sights of the mountains and coast were stunning. Would highly recommend this tour as a break from the hustle of Lisbon...and get Ivo as a guide if you can! :)

Great time! - A great all day tour for anyone. Be prepared for a lot of walking and get your tickets through them rather than changing your mind later and missing the booking potentially.

All the highlights - Mário was our tour guide. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and did everything he could to ensure our day went smoothly. The tour itself I feel is a lot to pack into one day, but if you are in Portugal for only a short time this is a great way to see the highlights of the areas surrounding Lisbon. Perfect for solo travels and small groups.

Great trip - It was a foggy and rainy morning but somehow whenever we got out of the van rained stopped and the sun came out. I guess it was all planned 🥹

Highly recommend; minus inside palace tour. - Sintra is worth the trip; beautiful! Our tour guide, Maria, was delightful and informative. Her driving skills were impeccable. Peña Palace was just okay. From the outside it was impressive. And the views are spectacular. But the line to go inside was very long and rushed. And Cascais is lovely.
