Good experience - The tour was on-time. The tour guide (Javi) was very friendly and knowledgeable. He could manage different situations very well. Javi took many individual and group photos from us which was a plus. He treated us with Nata pastry in the middle of the trip. The tour had already bought tickets for visiting Pena palace and National palace and we skipped the line. For lunch, we were taken to Julio’s Toca restaurant which was 27 euros per person for appetizer, main dish, drink, dessert and coffee. The food was very delicious. There are no other restaurants near this restaurant, so if the price is not in your budget, you don’t have any other choice than bringing your own food . Overall, we had a very good experience with the tour and Javi and we’ll recommend it.

Well organized and fun - The tour was very well organized. Our group had a total of 8 guests and our guide Brian was amazing. He got us early to palace so we had little wait. He shared lot of info at each place, and made it fun and comfortable. The restaurant that they chose had tasty food and a great selection of entrees and desserts.

Highlight of our Portugal holiday - We had a great day with Eddy! This tour is a highlight of our holidays in Portugal. The tour starts early but this way we can avoid part of the crowd at the castles. Small bus so groups of 8 at the max. Eddy provided a lot of info and kept a us entertained in the bus with some local music. The castles are impressive and the coast line is beautiful. Eddy also took pictures of us and the group and then shared on WhatsApp. Great souvenirs! Thanks again Eddy for this great day!

Our best day in Portugal! - We loved our trip to Sintra with our fun tour guide Eddy! We thought it was an early start to the day but soon realized when we saw the lines, that it was much better to be there early when it was less crowded. It was great being in a smaller group, only 7 of us and Eddy was a very knowledgeable and personable tour leader. He took dozens of photos of our family group and clearly he’s very skilled at this as all the pictures beautifully captured the sites we visited. We were pleasantly surprised to enjoy a multi course group lunch at a really nice restaurant with fabulous food on the route to the coast. All the little extras made for a great day!!

Great day despite the weather. - Lukas was great! Very knowledgeable and made the experience a fun one. It was rainy and quite windy but worth it. Where we stopped for lunch was wonderful.

Wonderful time beautiful views - We had a great time our guide Eddy was wonderful. The only problem I had and why it wasn’t a 5 is the tour said the tickets weren’t included so I purchased them online and ended up paying for them twice because the tour reserved tickets for the group and we had to pay at the end. It isn’t clear in the description that is the policy
