Beautiful Portugal! One of my fave spots around the globe 😊 - Quinta Regaliera is enchanting & beautiful! 😊 including the Sintra National Palace! The historical architecture and interior design craftsmanship is mind blowing! An absolute must see day-trip out of Lisbon that showcases the wonder, charm, beauty and warmth of Portugal! This is my 3rd travel guides with João Andre of Kitzel tours, who I can describe as efficient & effective! João knows all the tricks & shortcuts for you to best enjoy the attraction and experiences without wasting time - in short, you get to see much more in less time and not feel rushed! And if you’re a “foodie” like me, João also provides great suggestions for dining experiences! Try hiring a private travel guide if you haven’t yet, finding a good one is worth it!!!

Great guide, very kind and knowledgeable! - Joao was an amazing guide who took us to the sites and provided a lot of history and background on each place. We went to Palace of Pena, Regaleira farm, Cascais, Cabo da Roca. He is very patient and kind and it was great to have someone do the driving. Oh, and he was always willing to take pictures for us! You will feel very comfortable choosing him to take you around for the day!

An amazing day! - We had an absolutely wonderful day with Joao! He communicated with us right after booking regarding the tickets we needed to purchase and was so much fun to be with seeing the Regaleria and the Pena Palace. We enjoyed having lunch with him and then he took us to Cabo da Roca, the western most part of Europe to walk around and gave us plenty of time to wander around Cascais at the end of the day. We highly recommend booking this tour and you can feel confident that you will have an amazing experience!

Private Tour - Lisbon to Sintra snd Cascais - Joao was a wonderful tour guide and driver. He was super knowledgeable of every place visited yet had a wonderful sense of humor. He was very receptive and flexible to meet our scheduling needs. He also took us to a great Portuguese restaurant outside of Sintra where we were able to relax and meet some locals. We highly recommend this tour!

Amazing visit to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Caicais! - My wife and I had an amazing experience with Joao (John), owner and operator of Kitzel tours. This was actually the second tour we had with Joao during our time in Lisbon. This particular tour allowed us to select two palaces from the Sintra area - we chose Quinta da Regaleira and Monserrat Palace. It was tough not to go to Pena Palace, but we knew it was going to be very busy there and didn't want to take time away from other sites planned on the tour. Regaleira features the famous Initiation Well as well as beautiful landscaped gardens. Regaleira now operates with slot times. We chose one of the first slots available and the crowds were not that bad. Monserrat Palace was just a short drive from Regaleira and included incredible gardens and the stunning interior of the palace. We thoroughly enjoyed both properties. After touring the two properties, we had a delicious lunch with Joao on our way to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Cabo da Roca features incredible views of the coastland of Portugal and was worth the stop. Our tour ended with a visit to Caiscais, a beach town not to far from downtown Lisbon bustling with shops and restaurants. Joao is a fantastic tour guide who was incredibly knowledgeable on all of the sites we visited. He has an incredible focus on making customers feel valued and appreciated, never rushing us to the next destination. His communication before and during the tour were excellent. We highly recommend Kitzel tours.

Great time in Sitra - We had a great time with Joao in Sintra! It is a more active tour so wear comfy shoes but having the private guide is worth every penny and makes for a much more comfortable experience. Joao effortlessly guides you through this very busy site. We were on our "babymoon" and so wanted a more relaxed experience and this was exactly what we wanted - an expert to do the thinking and planning for us!

Beautiful sites to see with loads of good information! - Had a great day with Joao as our driver. We customized our tour which made the day really nice. Beautiful sights. He was prompt and careful. The only thing I'm going to say, is that the car was a little smaller than we given that we are from the states. It worked for four adults and it had a second row of back seats if you have kids but they are not for adults. Hard to find in and out of only if you need to use the second row.

The only guide you need in Portugal - Amazing! Joao is the only guide you need in Portugal! His pre trip communication was excellent. Our day was a dream. We traveled to Pena and Quinta da Regaleira. We didn't make it easy for him! We had three generations spanning ages from 20 to 78, with different mobility. He was so kind to my parents and made every accommodation so they could participate. If you have mobility issues or health concerns (diabetes or food allergies, we have both), tell him! He truly customizes his trips for safety and comfort. He has a vast knowledge of the history and people of his homeland. He also speaks multiple languages and does tours to many arease in Portugal. We feel like we made a wonderful, new friend in Lisbon! Thank you for making our day special and personal!
