A taster trip to Sintra - perfect for us - Great communications from Jamie our friendly guide and driver. We were kept informed of arrival time, picked up from our hotel. With his local knowledge and that this was a morning trip , we beat the rush of tourists arriving at Sintra. Peña and the other other buildings in the National park were just stunning, interesting and vast ( so you may consider a whole day to see more) For us it was enough to get a taste of the site and the surrounding area. Each place we stopped we were given enough time to have a walk around to explore. We ended our trip with a brief visit to Cascais which is a lovely town. Overall the trip was perfect for us, we were able to relax and enjoy our few hours, as our guide and driver Jamie was informative, prompt, knowledgeable and respectful - thank you for such a wonderful day

Great trip and Jaime was a rolling history book! - Wonderful historical trip! Lots of areas of exploration. Castle is amazing, as were the grounds and trip up the road to get there

One of the best days of our trip! - Hugo met us on time at our port for our private tour and from the start we knew it was going to be a great day by his personality and enthusiasm for his country! We drove to Cascais and spent some time in this beautiful coastal town then he took us by Cabo da Roca on our way to Sintra and Pena Palace. All along the way, he explained what we were seeing and the how it related to the history of Portugal. Might sound dry to some but with Hugo's personality it was anything but! At Pena Palace, he toured with us and explained everything about it. His knowledge of his country and heritage is amazing and made for a wonderful visit. He timed the trip perfectly - we had the full experience without fear of missing our cruise ship! It was all so beautiful - I highly recommend this excursion! And, even more so, I recommend Hugo!

Wonderful experience with Miguel - We couldn't have asked or a better guide and experience on our half day tour of Sintra and Cascais! We were so pleased with Miguel's friendly disposition, deep knowledge of the history and culture of the area, not to mention his follow up with us with recommendations for the rest of our Portugal trip. Highly recommend anyone to tour with Miguel for a pleasant day from Lisbon!
