Wonderful day with Susana - Susana is amazing! She is passionate about the history. She knows almost everything about everything:) For the whole 8 hour trip, she accompanied us as a friend, telling the stories of purtugal, sintra, buldinhgs, food, knights Templar, the kings, moor people ...Can't expect anything better than that.

Amazing Day Trip - We had an amazing day with Joao, who was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. We saw the three main sites in Sintra, learned a lot of history and had lunch/time in the town. Highly recommended, especially given how busy it would be in peak season. Having all the tickets covered was also an added bonus / one less headache to dal with.

Great day in Sintra - Miguel was an amazing guide! He did a great job with showing details of the freemasons as well as knowing dates and timelines. He was able to answer all our questions. He is a wealth of information. Loved seeing the sites and learning all the history. The time in town I wish we had instead gone to a fourth site like Montserrat, but know that others may not be as into history as we are! Sintra is beautiful and must- see excursion. 10/10 would book with Miguel again! On time and great communication.

A Magical Experience in Sintra - This is an amazing tour! Van Go Tourism is an incredible company to work with. They are flexible and accommodating and created a magical day for my family of 15 in Sintra! Our tour guide, Susana, was both extremely knowledgeable and so much fun to hang out with! The company was accommodating to the various needs of our group and ages. We had such a wonderful experience, we immediately contacted the company again to schedule another tour. I could not recommend enough!!

Great Day of Touring! - Joao took us on a private tour of Sintra in December 2024. He was waiting at our hotel right on time. He accommodated our pace, was very pleasant, and knowledgeable about all the sites. He even answered all of our off-the-wall questions! Joao made for a very enjoyable day and a memorable trip to Sintra. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing and beautiful tour - The views were so amazing and the castles beautiful inside and out. I took so many photos I thought my camera phone would break.

Wonderful Trip - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Miguel ....he was an experienced navigator with and incredible knowledge of history that made our trip relaxing, enjoyable and overall incredible experience...

Wonderful Sintra Tour - Our tour guide, Miguel, and the driver, Rui, picked up our group at 0800 hrs from our hotel. Everything about the day in Sintra was well planned out by Van Go Tours, from the nice comfortable transportation, the restaurant where our group ate, to the tickets for all the venues. Our guide, Miguel, was caring, knowledgeable, funny, and kind. Our driver, Rui, had a great personality as well as being a safe driver. We were so glad we arrived at the Pena Palace early because by the time we left, the lines had begun. Miguel was super at pointing out facts about the palace we wouldn't have seen or even known to look at without his knowledge. We also loved climbing the walls of the Moorish castle and learning the history of the area. Miguel was great with those who preferred not to climb the steps and kept them company while the rest of the group sought the views. After a busy morning, we were able to relax at Taverna dos Trovadores where we had delicious pre-ordered meals and an efficient and friendly waiting staff. We were not rushed so our group really enjoyed this aspect of the tour. We could converse, refresh, and get renergized for the afternoon. After lunch, Miguel took us to the quaint area of Sintra and then on to Quinta da Regaleira where we strolled the beautiful grounds and walked through the palace. Again, without Miguel's guidance, we wouldn't have known or noticed the intricacies of the grounds and/or its history. Everyone in the group agreed Miguel, Rui, and Van Go Tours did an excellent job and we were so glad we booked with them.

Sintra with Joo was worth the extra cost - Our guide, Joo was super! Very knowledgeable, friendly and he made the all day private Sintra tour memorable and fun! He easily adapted to accommodate one in our party who has mobility issues without overly straining him and without lessening the experience for the rest of us. I cannot recommend him more highly … definitely worth the extra cost to have all the tickets covered and to go with someone who knows shortcuts to reduce waiting time at popular attractions. Guaranteed positive and fun experience, you won’t regret it!

Van Go made our trip wonderful - Five of us booked three days of private tours with Van Go and were totally pleased with the whole experience. Margarida helped us book the tours and was really responsive to all our questions. She created a custom plan for us. Joao, our fantastic guide for all three days, was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun! The vehicles were spotlessly clean and brand new. We did a day tour of Lisbon, day trip to Sintra with an evening in Cascais, and then Lisbon to Porto transport via Obidos and Nazare. Joao was with us the whole time and even helped get one couples' passports which were accidentally left behind in our hotel Lisbon. You'll have an excellent trip with Van Go.
