Entertaining and Beautiful - We took the day trip on 13.06.24.
The guides Luany and Hacine were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver, Diego, as well, was very attentive and careful (moreover, he listened to my meme references and was laughing with my friends and me xD, pity we didn't exchange with socials, he would be such a good friend). These people made the trip more interesting and we didn't get bored on the way. As for the points themselves, one must visit to understand how unique each spot is. I highly recommend Tugatrips for this day trip. Thank you, everyone who is involved ❤️

Great day visiting the Peña Palace, Sintra and Cascais - Our fabulous guide Diogo Martins took us through Lisbon city, to Cascais ( a beautiful seaside village), to the most western point in Europe and then for a brilliant tour of Sintra and Peña palace. Diogo timed the entries to the different areas well, gave brilliant recommendations for eateries etc and delivered a fascinating history of the palace. Definitely worth going, especially with a guide such as Diogo.

Friendly and attentive tour - BEST PART OF TRIP was our very personable guides, Fred and Afonso and driver (Mikw). Loved the fado music that Afonso played while we were en rote.
Cascais stop was very enjoyable as was Cabo do Roca. Too much time in the town of Sintra for my taste. Palace interior was interesting. Nice group of co-travelers

The tour guide was great... - The tour guide was great and having transportation to all the places was very convenient but my family and I were disappointed in the limited amount of information we received on the tour.

Disappointing and not as described. - Do not recommend this tour. I booked this tour specifically because it included a guided tour of Pena Palace. It did not include a guided tour of the castle. They changed the rules at Pena palace recently and if you are in a guide of more than 8, you do not get a guide to accompany you to explain what you are seeing in the castle. Then it didn't include an audio guide, so you had no idea what you were looking at in the castle. Absolutely ridiculous. I would not recommend this tour for those reasons. Check out Native Lisbon tours instead and ask for Andre Feldman. We saw him giving a tour and were jealous we were not on it he was so fanatastic. Would recommend their tour over this one for comprable price. It was highly overpriced since it did not include the guided tour of Pena palace.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - Bait and switch. Terrible UNFRIENDLY tour guide.
1) This tour was terrible because the first stop was a beach town at 9 AM for ice cream where most businesses were closed. This was opposite of this published schedule. I asked myself, why are we even here?
2) The tour guide, Leonor was more interested in chatting with the bus driver rather than engaging with a tourists on the bus. She seemed almost irritated that someone could “bother” her with a question. I’ve been on TripAdvisor tours in other countries, which have been fantastic. This tour doesn’t measure up.
3) This tour consist of mostly pick ups and drop offs. With the exception of the palace tickets, this is something you could achieve with an Uber.
4) This tour is mostly UNGUIDED – NOT AS ADVERTISED: here’s what they wrote: “Our guide shall accompany you along the way, sharing stories and curiosities about the visited and seeing places.” THIS IS NOT THE CASE except for drop offs and pick ups.
With the exception of the palace tickets, this tour was a waste of money and a terrible experience.

Do NOT book this tour. - I would NOT recommend this tour. It's "BAIT AND SWITCH."
1) They switched the schedule. First stop (Cascais) was supposed to be the LAST afternoon stop. As a result, we were dropped off at 9:00 AM for ice cream in a beach town where most business were closed. I asked myself, "why are we even here?"
2) The tour guide, Leonor F. was more interested in chatting with the bus driver as we passed beautiful sites. She gave us minimal info as we entered town. She made almost LITTLE / NO EFFORT to engage with the tourists on the bus. Leonor seem irritated that a tourist would bother her with questions. I've been on other tours in other countries, and she was the absolute worse!
3) The entire "tour" consisted of Leonor doing mostly drop-off and pick-up. She was a terrible tour guide and did not "accompany anyone along the (entire) way, sharing stories and curiosities about the visited (and seen) places."
I would NOT book a tour with this company again. Low quality tour guide and bait and switch schedule. I might as well have taken an Uber. Except for the included palace tickets, this was a waste of money.
