Excellent Sintra tour - We were collected on time and travelled to Sintra in our tour guides car. The tour was informative and well planned. The palace was the highlight of the trip. Sintra has its own climate which was a surprise and light relief from the heat in Lisbon, we were there in August but would recommend an extra layer in other months.

Great tour! - Gonçalo A. was very attentive and informative. The tour requires walking up hills and stairs. One person in our party had difficulty but Gonçalo adjusted the trip to accommodate us. We enjoyed the tour!

Luís was an amazing tour guide - Luis was an amazing tour guide. He made our tour better than we thought because he knew everything about the places we went. He was very patient and gave us extra time to spend in a couple spots because my wife and I were caught up in taking pictures. He even ask did we want to visit anywhere else before we headed to our hotel. We declined because we were exhausted from the all day great experience. Thanks Luis

Excellent tour guide. - Our guide had current and accurate knowledge about the locations we visited. He struck the right balance between leading us around the sites and leaving us to explore on our own. Good time management, courteous and friendly.

Adequate but not amazing - Tour guide was very nice & accommodating (he added an extra stop when we were ahead of schedule because one of the sites was closed). It could have been a bit more informative.
