Sintra in August - Guil was a great guide. Very enthusiastic. The only thing I would improve is better advanced notice that we would need to buy tickets and perhaps adding the link to do so. Also it would have been nice if there was an option to have a guide in the palace

Beautiful day trip - We had an amazing day! Peña palace was very busy and we had to rearrange the schedule so we could go later in the afternoon. Diego was very accommodating and we got to see everything plus have an amazing lunch!

Awesome day! Requires a full day!!! - Lovely day touring through Sintra. Not sure how one could do this in less than a full day. We also took a detour to Cabo da Roca on the way back. Our guide Diogo was very accommodating and knew locations/schedules/timing well which was extremely helpful. It should be noted that this is NOT a guided tour so the driver won’t relay history etc…

A Tour Worth Taking - Ricardo was our tour good. He was terrific, his knowledge of Lisbon, Sintra, the palaces was very good. He showed us the beauty of Portugal and we felt a great kinship. We stopped for lunch and had the best time.

Great price, reliable and excellent service. - When I booked this tour they had the best reviews and the best prices compared to other companies. I have had great communication from start to finish with the booking. We had Manuel Junior as our driver, he turned up early (allowing extra photo opportunity) and was very. The car itself was clean and presentable, the children were living their best life. I would highly recommend this company you will not be let down!!

Not at all what was advertised. - We didn't get a tour, we got a car and a driver. The driver was a very nice and polite person, but he didn't know anything about history or places we were supposed to visit. He even diid not know that he was supposed to provide water for us. It was not a tour at all. Beware!
