Luis was the best! - Luis was a wonderful guide for my wife and I as we took a half day trip through Cascais, Cabo da Roca, and Sintra. We stopped at a few places to take some scenic photos, and going to the most western point of Europe was such a surreal experience! Sintra was a beautiful town with amazing architecture, and Luis was a great guide to help explain some of the history and context with everywhere we went. 10/10, would recommend Luis and this trip to anyone who is interested!!

Sintra - We had an amazing time with Jose! He is very entertaining and has a wealth of knowledge. His joy for life was obvious and he was an absolute pleasure to have as our guide. Sintra was very beautiful and highly recommend this trip.

Amazing half day Sintra tour - We did the half day private tour with 7 friends and Jose was our guide. The trip was absolutely amazing and he showed us some beautiful hidden gems of Sintra. We went to Quinta de Regaleira, shopping in downtown Sintra, and made multiple beach stops. Jose did an absolutely amazing job of explaining history to the group when we were in the car and also did a great job tailoring the trip for what our group wanted to see/do. I would recommend this highly for anyone who only has a half day to spend in Sintra!

The Best Way for Our Family to See Sintra - This was a wonderful tour. Our guide Jose Ribeiro was brilliant: flexible, cheerful and incredibly knowledgeable about his beloved country, its glorious imperial past, dark republican dictatorship, and modern cosmopolitan democracy. While we signed up for a half day, the tour went several hours over and well beyond Sintra according to priorities our family group set with Jose’s guidance. We saw many things we would never have seen on our own and avoided long lines. The Pena Palace in particular requires guidance to understand its complicated history, symbolism and context. Jose made it sizzle. Highly recommend.

Great customized tour from José! - We got to see “Hell’s Mouth”, Cascais, Peña Palace, historic Sintra and Cabo da Roca. José went above and beyond, giving us extra time to make sure we got the most “complete” day possible out of our half day tour. He gave us wonderful perspectives on history, architecture, symbolism and his own life story which is just as fascinating! Would highly recommend as a small group or as a couple. He truly gave us a magical day in Sintra and let us help decide what we wanted to prioritize. Highly recommend asking for him if you’re taking a Lisbon on Wheels tour!

Amazing half day tour with Jose - My 10 year old daughter and I booked a half day tour w Jose. He was the perfect tour guide: super sweet, flexible and knowledgeable. He tailored our tour and went out of his way to show us places off the beaten path. He did not go by the clock at all. Our half day tour ended up almost a full day tour. 10 stars!!!

Wonderful tour - We had a wonderful tour with Jose! It was my husband and I and our three kids (including a one year old) and he zipped us up and through Peña palace, took pictures, made jokes, showed us a great cafe, went to Cabo da Racos and Hells mouth and had us back in Lisbon city center by 1:30. A fantastic day!

Excellent tour, way beyond our expectations! - José was extremely knowledgeable, very flexible and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better person to show us all these historical sites and provide the context to help us appreciate it more.
