Fantastic day spent in Sintra - We had a great day spent with Bruno who took us to where he grew up and loves. He checked with us about what we have done and what else we would like to do. Once we got all of that sorted, he was amazing at whisking us around the hills, and skillfully driving through the narrow and steep bends of Sintra. We had an extensive overview of the country's history and the happenings that shaped Lisbon as what it is today. It was also so sweet to hear stories of Bruno's experience in the palace as a school boy and stories of his family, sprinkled all around Sintra. He even took us to his local eating place, and that was the best food experience we had! With 2 young kids, we definitely would not have done and seen what we did if we tried doing this on our own.

Sintra tour - Excellent tour with Bruno! He went above and beyond for us. A tour is definitely a must as the traffic and small roads make it difficult to navigate the area.

Fantastic day out in Sintra and Cascais - Bruno did a fantastic job with our tour. He was a fountain of knowledge about all things Lisbon and Sintra on the ride there. He did an amazing job getting us around to the sights that *we* wanted to see, and made the trip very worthwhile. Everything was flexible and his recommendations made it a perfect day. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Strongly recommend this tour. - Sintra was beautiful. Bruno was a fantastic guide, had a wealth of knowledge of the history of the area and provided excellent recommendations for us to customize our tour as we wanted. There is so much to see in Sintra there is no way to see it all in a day, especially if you want to spend time at the various sites. Bruno was very helpful narrowing down our options.

Private Tour of Sintra with a local professional is the way to go. - April 2024: We did an all-day (8+ hour) private tour of the Sintra region with Bruno, who was knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and easygoing. After spending our first 2 days navigating dense crowds of other tourists all around Lisbon, via public transportation, going with Amazing Day 4U to do our day trip to Sintra proved to be one of the best decisions we made for this trip, our first visit to Portugal. Bruno picked us up promptly at 8:30 a.m. at our hotel in Lisbon, and off we went to Sintra. The best thing about a private tour is going where you want to go, in the order you want it, at your own pace, and staying as long as you like for each destination. For us, it was worth spending a bit more for the Sintra experience. We trusted Bruno’s strategy and advice as to how to explore the most popular sites without spending too much time in long queues. Along the route, Bruno would fill us in with details on the architectural and historical aspects of where we were going next. In some cases, we stopped briefly to get out of the car to take pictures of some sights from a distance. Bruno coordinated with us by text so we’d know where to meet up after each site, which was great! He thoughtfully brought us some local pastries, and recommended a great non-touristy place for lunch. He drove us to places around the region that we didn’t even think about from our guide book. Our original plan was to tour Sintra by bus, foot, and maybe taxi, which would have been exhausting, and which would have kept us from seeing so many things in one day. Getting around Sintra with a local professional was well worth it, and we heartily recommend Amazing Day 4U.
