Great day trip! - This trip was a great day out. Our tour guide Francisco was knowledgeable and friendly, and offered excellent advice in restaurants and what not to miss at each destination. The castle gardens were lovely but the Regalaira was my favorite. I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Lisbon. We were in town only 3 days and this was well worth it! My fitness app says I walked roughly 19,000 steps - so wear comfy shoes and bring water to stay hydrated!

Worth the effort - You will see exterior of Pena Palace (for extra ticket fee)…well worth it! And interior of Regaleira (cool mock-old palace grounds). With a 40-minute stop in Sintra, I had time to pay to quickly tour interior of National Palace (also worth it, if you like monuments) rather than walking the town. Expect extensive walking and hills; not a trip for the elderly or unfit. Guide Daniel was great!

Nice experience! - Bruno made the 8.5 hour tour easy for us. His selection sequence of places to visit work for the whole group. He is very good at his job and you can tell that he LOVES what he does, and channels it to his guests. We felt so lucky to have him as our guide. We’ll love our next tour will be with him:).

Do it! - Fantastic time. Had a few teens with me and they had way more fun then they thought they would, and for a great history lesson as well! Lots of fun, great photo ops, and great guide

Great experience - We had a wonderful experience. Bruno was really exceptional and he spoke American English without an accent. He is very knowledgeable about history and, more importantly, kept us going at an appropriate pace especially given we were eight in the group. The advice he gave for the various stops was very helpful. The van was a comfortable ride and had a The Cool Guys logo on the side to make it easy to spot. Booking this tour saved us quite a bit of time and helped avoid the challenges of driving through narrow and winding roads as well as helping avoid parking issues at all these stops.

Highly recommend this tour with tour guide Rui Jesus. - Rui Jesus was an exceptional tour guide, and the tour itself was fantastic. It covered a wide variety of attractions while also allowing enough free time to explore on our own. As for the little extras, tasting Pastel de Nata, Sintra's special pastries, Ginja in chocolate cups, and the peri-peri chicken recommended by Rui added a delightful touch to the experience. While there are many Sintra tours available, this one stands out. It covers numerous must-visit locations, includes stops by the beach, and ends with a stunning sunset drive back to Lisbon. I highly recommend this tour. Rui's energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm truly elevated the experience, making it one of the most memorable tours I've ever been on. Please extend my compliments to him—he deserves recognition and, without a doubt, a raise for his outstanding work.

Marina was an amazing... - Marina was an amazing tour guide. She was pleasant and always smiling. Regaleira was our favorite part along with the beautiful coastal drive to cascais. Pena palace was too foggy to see and you have to pay extra to enter the grounds (not included in the tour).
