Amazing - This was an amazing tour. José was extremely knowledgeable about the area and so kind and thoughtful. We learned about the history and saw many awesome vistas. He brought us to an awesome little restaurant/bakery for lunch (not included). The tour company was Portugal Unknown, and I highly recommend this tour. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was.

Amazing tour with our guide Joao! - We absolutely LOVED this tour! Our guide Joao picked us up from our hotel in Lisbon and gave us an incredible, personal tour of the Palace at Sintra and Regaleira. He was so kind, friendly and patient. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of these sites, which as a history lover I greatly appreciated! You cannot go wrong booking this tour with Joao....it will be an unforgettable day!

UNFORGETTABLE day in Sintra!!!!! - Unforgettable Day in Sintra, Thanks to Goncalo….our incredible tour guide!!!
We had the most amazing day in Sintra, and it was all thanks to “G”
From the moment we met, it was clear that he was passionate about making our experience truly special. His knowledge of the history, architecture, and hidden gems of Sintra was impressive, but it was his warmth and genuine care that really set the day apart.
Not only did he show us the famous sights like Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, Cabo de Roca, and Quinta da Regaleira, he also shared personal stories and local insights that made the whole experience come to life.
He took the time to customize the tour based on our interests and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way!
We enjoyed a FABULOUS lunch with him as well….usually the guides just take you to a restaurant for you to enjoy but we wanted him to join us!
His sense of humor, kindness, and attention to detail made us feel like we were traveling with a friend, not just a guide. It’s rare to meet someone who goes above and beyond like this, and we will always remember our day in Sintra because of Goncalo!
If you’re visiting the area, I can’t recommend him enough ….you’ll have an unforgettable experience!
We adored you “G” and look forward to seeing you (and Rita) again soon!!!

Loved this team and tour! - We had a fabulous experience with this team who went above and beyond for our half day private tour in Sintra! Even when Bruno had a vehicle issue before our tour he had notified us, Bruno had José and João ready to complete our tour! They even figured out the parking for our rental car in Sintra. They were fantastic and knowledgeable and even customized our tour at Regalia in the fly. Highly highly recommend!!!

A day to remember - A wonderful day discovering enchanting landscapes thanks to Giuseppe's guide. Our guide, met almost by chance, turned out to be truly invaluable and made our visit unforgettable! Capo de Roca at sunset alone is worth the trip!

Incredible day from start to finish w Marta in and around Sintra - Marta picked us up at our hotel with a huge smile and we were on our way for a fantastic day in Sintra. So much history to see and learn. Marta put it all into perspective for us, always w her smile and enthusiasm. When she saw we were intersected in a subject she contributed more insight. We saw so much, in many cases following the less traveled path bc Marta thought we would enjoy what we saw. She was right every time. And her lunch suggestion - Millennium - was over the top. . Like our tour w Pepe a few days later, we could not have had a better time or experience. Spending our day w Marta was a treat. No kidding. Pepe, too. Look no further.

Enjoyable and fun - Peppe picked us up right at our hotel, we ventured to Sintra where we visited Pena Palace. Peppe guided us as to how to get through the crowd there to make it for our tour in time. He then took us through the quaint town of Sintra to some little shops where we had a little taste test ❤️Then off to Coba Da Roca, while on the road Peppe explained the history of all the towns we drove through, very interesting and knowledgeable. We stopped for a delicious lunch and some great photos with gorgeous scenery😍
We ended our tour in the beautiful town of Cascais and walked through the streets and Peppe picked us up and drove us back to our hotel, this was an all day tour. Very enjoyable, also nice that we had an air conditioned vehicle as it was hot. Thank you Enza and Rick
