The best tour we had. Highly recommend! - Our private tour with Nuno was absolutely amazing. Nuno was a passionate tour guide who went over and above to make sure we saw and did everything we wanted to do. I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was the highlight of our trip. Sintra and Cascais are beautiful.

Big Bang for your Buck!!!! - We took a private tour with Ruben who was fantastic. Did so much in one day we didn’t waste time in lines and learned so much.this tour was mostly about the history and the history of the architecture . Fascinating not a boring moment.

Awesome private tour experience - Daniel was a great local tour guide. We appreciated the history and personal stories that he shared with us. He catered our tour specific for what we wanted to do and see. I highly recommend having him as your private tour guide.

What Happened??? - Great excursion and our guide Ruben was very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. I would have given our experience a 5+ rating but was disappointed in a few things. First, Ruben was late picking us up, but he did extend the time to make sure we saw everything. Second, our vehicle had some mechanical issues. The tires were bald and needed replacement. The bigger safety concern was that our van had one side door that didn’t open at all and the other sliding door wound up breaking the latch halfway thru the day a would not close/lock shut. To keep it closed, I had to manually hold the door in place so that it didn’t fly open when accelerating or climbing a hill. The final issue we had, which was the most disappointing, was that at the end of the excursion we made arrangements with Ruben to extend our tour for the next day. He committed to picking us up in the morning but never showed up and did not answer any of our text messages. Not sure what happened but would have appreciated an explanation and better communication. It’s a shame, because we really enjoined the first day’s activities and spending time with Ruben.
