Good day trip! - This day trip was well worth the price. Hugo - our guide was funny, helpful and very knowledgable. Pena palace is very pretty and the gardens are excellent but the insides of the palace aren’t very impressive. Overall, it was a fun day!

Great tour! - Great tour. Maria, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable, outlining the history of the area and palace of Sintra and pointing out all the sights of interest along the way. Great timing, to arrive early in Sintra before the masses. The palace itself was very crowded but that's the fault of the palace entry system, not the tour operator. It was beautiful and well worth a visits then we drove to Cascais where we had two hours for lunch and to wander. The small beach is lovely! Ed also had a couple of photo stop-offs along the way for photo opportunities. Thank you Maria!

Highlight of my time in Portugal - Hugo is SUCH an amazing tour guide and is very kind and knowledgeable about the area. He’s professional, but is also someone you’d love to grab a beer with. I’d recommend this tour to anyone, whether they’re young, old, solo travelling or with loved ones!

Great day out - Early start was good so we missed the traffic jams which start later in the day. Maria was very informative about the history of the area and added to the whole experience. Had a very enjoyable day out, I would have liked more time at the Pena Palace, only had time to rush around the interior rooms and no time for the gardens or relaxing it them.
