Wonderful Tour! - I strongly recommend this tour. Lukas was a wonderful tour guide. I’m hoping to go on more tours with him in the future. Sintra is such a lovely place. He knew a lot about the city and the palace.

Bruno was both very... - Bruno was both very knowledgeable and entertaining. He knew so much history of Portugal and was sympathetic to the physical limitations of some members of my group. The Lisbon traffic was horrible so we played the Bruno trivial Portugal facts in the van to pass the time!

Ahh-mazing!!!! - This was definitely the highlight of our 2 week European Adventure! Our guide, Pedro was extremely knowledgeable in Portuguese history and art. He was a great story teller and had us captivated through our entire tour. We were also very fortunate to have a clear sunny day with no wind, and a very small amount of crowds compared to a typical day. In addition to visiting Pena Palace, we stopped off in Sintra town and got to try some local pastries, Ginjinha, a cherry liqueur and even had time to do a port tasting at a local wine shop. Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you’ll get Pedro. He was fabulous!

A well-versed guide who made the history accessible - If you get Pedro as a tour guide, you’ve backed a winner. He really has a sound sociocultural and historical knowledge of Sintra, and more importantly, Portugal and how the shifts in culture and history shaped Sintra over time. He is well versed in the intricacies of the design and its representation of the time and the people. He is a wealth of funny anecdotes. You will not be bored. Finally, he is mindful of his group and quickly registers those who will need the extra support. He makes the history of Sintra an accessible story.

Fantastic visit, lucky to visit inside Pena Palace due to Carlos's advance planning - Really great half-day trip from Lisbon to see the fantastic Pena Palace and visit Sintra. Well worth it. Carlos was a good guide with tons of information and he kept us on track -- there is a lot to see in the Palace if you are fortunate to go inside. Carlos was very proactive by checking tickets early in the morning and he had us purchase them for an inside visit (rather than looking at "the trees" outside, we visited the inside of the palace). Must give him credit for that organization. We eventually got used to his sometimes eccentric sense of humor, but do be prepared to be picked on a lot if you arrive with a Starbucks in hand. This trip was precisely the itinerary and time that my friend and I were looking for, before we both left on early evening flights out of Portugal.

Not what we expected at all. - The guide was very nice to start. However, we were expecting to be in a van. She explained because there were only 4 people. She would take us in a car. We are not small people, and we have never met the other couple. We had to squeeze in her car and the trip was very uncomfortable. Never was given the bottle of water and also, she lacked information about the castle. We were listening to other guides to know more about the place. She was very kind and attentive but, as a guide, it was not what expected and we were never told we would be in a car instead of a van. I'd not recommend and will not take Viator Tours again. It was not a cheap tour, not what we expected.
