Worry free, beautiful day in Portugal! Book it! - My husband and I booked this tour last minute because after traveling for several days we wanted a stress free way to see Sintra and other areas around Lisbon, and it was the best decision we made! Our tour guide, Joao was awesome! He was very knowledgeable about Sintra, the palace and all things Portugal. You have plenty of free time to explore Sintra and Cascais, and Joao provided recommendations on things to do in both places. The stop at Cabo de Roca was a special treat. Amazing views! We would highly recommend this tour.

Sintra and Cascais with great guide - Benny, our guide, was informative and very knowledgeable. He was kind and a very pleasant guy. His English is very good and he was clear with instructions and we covered a lot of area with plenty of free time. I would hire him again.

Cintra and Tommy - Tommy did an amazing job of showing us and telling the history of Portugal. Seeing the sites of Sintra and Cascais was fantastic. He checked in with each of us on comfort in vehicle.
Pick up and how it was organized into small groups made it comfortable to ask questions.
We also enjoyed the addition of the music of Portugal.
Truly memorable!

Live life to the fullest and explore the world - We were fortunate to have a very smart inexperienced guide in Miguel, who had been doing this for 14 years and was from one of the areas he gave us a lot of insight and even though the day started very cloudy and dreary, we got to see the castle, the countryside, the surf and the cities

Great trip, not our favorite guide. - Historical sites and views were spectacular. Trip was worth the time and money. Miguel was our tour guide and the driver for the day. Despite his knowkege and enthusiasm, his social skills and interaction with guests needs a little polishing. It was not easy to ask him questions regarding local culture since he monopolized the conversation with his own agenda.

Horrible lost $200+ - I booked the tour twice and was told there was no room on the tour for me and suggested another day, (when I would be sailing to South Africa.) I lost $200 due to the “non refundable policy. No communication. Horrible service.
