Great Family Tour! Ask for Lukas! - Lukas was a phenomenal tour guide! He was knowledgeable on the history of each location we visited and ensured we stayed on schedule. He also knew all the tips and tricks on bathrooms, food/water stands and was a 10/10 photographer! We had an amazing day. Highly recommend this tour and Lukas!

Best tour ever! This is the tour you want! - Book this tour! It is so well organized, and gets you in the palace before the crowds. It does involve walking up some significant hills, but it’s totally worth it. Our guide, Nuno, has absolutely perfected his craft, and he is beyond passionate about Portuguese history! We didn’t just see cool palaces and pretty views, he taught us about the people and events that make it special! The whole day was filled with amazing sights and experiences, and he even took pictures for us throughout the day and then made us a little video compilation. He went above and beyond and made everything fun and exciting. My only complaint is that I will be comparing every other tour guide for the rest of my life to him!

Tour worth taking - This was an excellent way to spend the day, visiting the most famous sites near Lisbon. Our guide was very knowledgable and took great care to ensure we all had a good time, making sure we had enough time to explore. I recommend this trip to those who only have a couple of days in Lisbon as it not only shows you Cascais and Sintra, but other places on the way to and from Lisbon.

Lukas is the best - Great tour. Lukas was both informative and fun. Getting to the Pena Palace early and beating the crowds was a big plus. Lunch was excellent with a wide variety of meals. Even learned a Portuguese song along the way. Thanks Lukas!
