Wonderful trip and tour guide! - Manuel was knowledgeable, kind, went the extra mile. We felt safe, never rushed, and yet saw so much of Sintra and Cascais. We would recommend this tour with Manuel!

Great tour and guide! - We had an exceptional experience with Manuel. He was very knowledgeable and great with my jet lagged young kids (3 and 5) and older in laws (76 and 71). I do not have enough good things to say about our experience. I would say that if you have walking difficulties this tour could be tough, my mother in law was insistent on doing this with her walker and it was not easy for her but Manuel was extremely patient and kind.

Great tour experience!!!!! - Fantastic tour and highly recommended. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Ruben went over, above, and beyond as a tour guide in taking care of the group and explaining, in detail in both Spanish and English, the unique qualities and characteristics of all visited points of interest. An appropriate amount of time was allocated in each place and the overall tour pace was more than enough to explore and wander.

I’ll be back to Lisbon again - Ruben, our tour guide, was amazing under some strenuous circumstances with a couple and their child on the tour. It was a bit uncomfortable for myself and my nephew, but Ruben did his best to mitigate the circumstances. Above all, Ruben was well informed and professional. My only suggestion would be that upon booking, the customer be informed about children on the tour.

Great and will return - Carla, our tour guide, was great from beginning to end. Expect to take lots and lots of photos. Carla showed us breathtaking views of the coast. Cascais was beautiful to stroll through while Pena Palace in Sintra was enchanting and amazing to look at. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and plan on staying in Cascais the next time we visit Portugal.

Recommended - It was a very nice tour, Paulo was our guide, we were 8, but we felt like in a private tour. Paulo spoke to us in french and spanish, he shared with us a lot information and history, the car was very comfortable and the order of the day was perfect to enjoy each place. Thank you Paulo again, from Colombia!

Tour to Sintra - Had an amazing time during our Sintra trip . Really enjoyed the tour especially the views and the way to Sintra has magical landscapes. Our tour guy Paul was amazing, explained with detail the history and the culture behind our tour. Stopped at Cascais for a walk and coffee, went to Cape Roca which is the westernmost point of continental Europe and then drove to Sintra to see the palace and the beautiful gardens. Throught the whole route Paul was explaining to us all the key points we should know about our visits, he walked with us to the palace and explained every detail about the history behind it and its beautiful gardens but he also suggested a traditional portugese restaurant to have lunch and in Sintra he suggested a great place to enjoy some traditional deserts. Had an amazing time and we really suggest this tour as it is organised and you can fully gain the perfect sintra experience!!

A marvellous trip to Cascais and Sintra - We spent a wonderful day with Paolo who showed us the most beautiful places in Cascais and Sintra. We were impressed by his language skills since he easily switched from English to Spanish or Italian. He really took great care of all of us, regularly addressing each of us personally to keep contact. From his enthusiasm and passion for the different places shown one can derive that he loves his job.
