Great 1.5 days with Goncalo. Well worth the money for these tours! - Fabulous tour with Goncalo....he is knowledgeable, fun and speaks great english. He took us everywhere the tour outlines and gave our group of 6 ladies lots of free time to look around in each place. He has a great sense of humour and is very flexible with special requests (like bathroom breaks :). Nice, clean Mercedes SUV with free bottles of water in case we were thirsty - picked us up, on time, at our cruiseship port and dropped us back, right on schedule. Well worth the money. Highly recommend. We also did the 1/2 day Lisboa tour with him the next day and he took us all around Lisbon, showing us the various highlights of the city and allowed us time to shop. In all, a fabulous day and a half. If you are going all the way to Lisbon, you may as well let Goncalo show you around. Very informative and enjoyable tours. Thank you Goncalo!

Great tour with an excellent guide - We had a wonderful day with Gonçalo. Each stop on the tour was unique, we enjoyed getting to experience the different sites and villages both with him and when we went off on our own with some recommendations from him. At each stop and while traveling between Gonçalo shared a wealth of information about the site, history, and culture. When we encountered some road closures that impacted the plan for the day he quickly came up with options for us and we continued on our way having a great day.
We highly recommend any tour led by Gonçalo!

The most beautiful place in Portugal - Amazing views and an incredibly pretty town to spend time in. It is ridiculously popular. Our guide Goncalo knew the perfect ways in and out and the right times to avoid peek traffic while we still feel like we got the full Sintra experience. You will get all of the information and more on this tour and come out amazed and educated!

excellent guide - What a joyful day! Gonçalo showed us around and knew exactly how to avoid big waiting lines and show the nice places of the area. He was very knowledgeable about historical facts, and most important a nice guide to talk with. We've had a relaxing day and seen a lot of beautiful places. Thanks for the great tour.

The most knowledgeable and welcoming tour guide - This was the most informative and welcoming tour we had so far.
Gonzalo was not only very knowledgeable about all the history details and local culture but also went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and at home. From offering to taking pictures of us, to pointing to the best places to eat and see he was always looking out for us.
The areas you explore are beautiful, full of history and are complemented by nice people. Fully recommend this tour to anyone,

Book with Goncalo Cruz! - We ran into Goncalo Cruz at a bifana place in the back of Time Out Market. We started chit chatting and found out he's a tour guide. We wish we knew about him before we booked all of our tours. Our guide we booked the day before didn't inform us much about Fatima so Goncalo explained everything we missed out on. He is very nice, has great energy, a wealth of knowledge, and a great driver. We witnessed him drive and park in a very narrow spot with a crowd around him while waiting in line for our bifanas. Coincidentally, we ran into him giving a private tour to a couple the next morning at Pena Palace. We will definitely book him if we return to Lisbon!

Our favorite day! - This tour was the highlight of our trip!! Goncalo is by far the best tour guide we have ever had (and we have done a lot of tours all over Europe). He knows all the tricks to avoid traffic, wait in the shortest lines possible and make the day as enjoyable as possible. He also is a wealth of knowledge and knows so much about the area and history. It was the perfectly timed day and we got to see pena palace, sintra, cabo de roca and Cascais all in one day without feeling rushed. Thank you, Goncalo!

The Best Sintra Tour Guide, the Best Sintra Tour! - This was an absolutely fantastic tour! Gonzalo is so knowledgeable, energetic, generous and kind. He went out of his way to make sure our Sintra experience was top shelf. He picked us up in a very comfortable, new Mercedes sedan.
Gonzalo joined us on our Pena Palace tour, which was awesome because we would have missed so much. Other people were sticking close to us so they could hear what he was saying!!
During the full day tour, in addition to sightseeing, Gonzalo brought us to a wonderful pastry shop and then small local restaurant where the food was delicious!
We would highly recommend booking this tour. Thank you so much, Gonzalo!!!!

Highly recommend! - Gonçalo was terrific! The day trip was so much more than we thought it would be - a full day from Lisbon to Sintra stopping along the way at Cabo de Roca for amazing photos by the ocean and Cascais for pastries. He is so knowledgeable and insightful, we were delighted by all he had to teach us.
