Unbelievably great tour operator - Our tour guide Hugo was fantastic. Right from the start he made sure we met him at the right spot even guiding us to it. He was a fount of information about not only what we saw but the history of Portugal. He had perfect English. He was very friendly and thoughtful, and gave clear instructions. We highly recommend Hugo on the Sintra day tour. 11 out of 10. 😀

Good stuff- I’m good proportion - Really enjoyable tour. Hugo was friendly and full of info. We saw just the right amount of sights- Sintra, the palace, the westernmost coast of continental Europe (which made for stunning views), and lunch in Cascais. If you want more than a few hours at the Sintra palace or cascáis you should book a longer tour but for us it was great! Make sure to buy an entrance ticket to the palace ahead of time- we didn’t and then learned the entrance time we needed was full. We still got to see the palace gardens and the palace from outside which was gorgeous.
