Sintra tour - A great tour with Xavie. An unfortunate the lack of time to see everything. Definitely worth visiting Cascais and Sintra while you are in Lisbon but prepare to walk the whole day

Amazing Tour, recommend it! - If you have time in Lisbon, please check Sintra and book this tour with Xavier. It's a long walk the whole day so be prepared but the views are amazing. Definitely worth it!

Great tour and Xavier the best tour guide !!!! - We had an incredible experience with Xavier! He was professional, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable, taking the time to ensure every moment was memorable. Even during our free time, he stayed in touch to make sure we were doing well. He definitely made our first visit to Portugal unforgettable. The overall tour was perfect. If you’re lucky enough to have Xavier as your guide, you’re in excellent hands. Highly recommend!

Fantastic way to experience the history and culture of the area - If you're looking for a great way to get a whistlestop tour of Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais, this is the tour to go for. It's not for the feint of heart though as it involves over 12k steps, up and down around castles, gardens, palaces and along the coast. Our guide, Mario, was fantastic - very knowledgeable, approachable and ensured everyone was looked after and knew what to expect with the climbs/ascents. The full day was a lot so ensure you are well rested and clear headed!! Well worth it though!

A phenomenal experience - Phenomenal experience, from beginning to end, here we do not feel simply one more. Xavier showed everything in depth, always with a friendly out of the normal. I know Sintra again like the palm of my hand, all its beautiful corners and natural beauty.

Nice tour from Lisbon destination - Most of the group already knew each other from the hostel and it was a nice suggestion from the reception to spend a cool day outside of Lisbon. Xavier was a fun guide to talk with and everyone really liking him. The places were astonishing and Xavier sometimes had to ask us nicely to move to the next location because we didn’t want to leave 😁

Give it a shot! - It was an amazing experience! Our guide Nessie was very friendly and told us about the history of the places we visited. I met really nice people and we had a good time together. The price is a good deal if you wanna avoid the stress of thinking about transport since you will go in a van with the whole group, if you wanna meet knew people and learn a bit more about Lisbon and the towns you’re visiting.

Very well worth it - The experience is worth it, either for the value, for the comfort of the trip and also for the guide (in my case it was the Xabier). A day that gives peace to know the places, to learn more about the history of Portugal and these cities and to tour.
