Outstanding experience in Sintra and the coast - Nicholaus was a fabulous tour guide! He was kind, knowledgeable, funny, patient, engaging… He prepared us for each place that we visited. We got there early and did not have to wait in any lines. That allowed to see so much in one day. The lunch was a wonderful traditional Portuguese restaurant. We had ample amounts of time to explore on our own as well. Nicholaus was very good at reading our needs throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour.

Sintra!Cascais Tour with Elisa - Elisa was a wonderful tour guide! She was very willing to answer questions and very thorough with her explanations. Although the weather was very rainy, she helped make the most out of our tour. Loved that she took photos and made a video for me. Highly recommend!

Great Tour! - We had a great day with Eduardo in Sintra and Cascais! He picked us up right on time and made us feel comfortable right off the bat. He started describing all the sights from the minute we started driving out of Lisbon.
When we got to the Pena Palace he had it all planned so we would be the first ones inside to avoid the crowds. This really made the experience better.
Eduardo was very knowledgeable about the relevant history as well as the itinerary and how to maximize the experience. He even took our lunch orders ahead of time so that the restaurant would be sure to have what we wanted.
Throughout the whole day Eduardo kept us informed and engaged. He also took great photos all day. Highly recommend this tour and Eduardo as a guide.

Small van tour to Sintra and Cascais. - Eduardo was very fun, very chill and wanted us to have the best possible experience. We got to every place early so we always beat the crowds, he made sure our lunch order was in early so they wouldn’t run out of the more
popular items and his English was superb.
