Amazing Tour! - A great tour with an amazing guide, Antonio (Tony)! First, for all you back-seat drivers, nervous nellies, Tony was an excellent driver. We had a beautiful day walking the city of Sintra, before moving on to the Palace of Quinta da Regaleira. Tony was able to avoid the long entrance line, and we gained entrance very quickly. The palace gardens were really beautiful. National Palace of Pena closed due to high temps and possible fire issues. Honestly, Tony took us to so many great locations throughout the day, that we did not mind. We so enjoyed his company, kind of like spending the day with an old friend. Many, Many thanks to Tony! (The pastries were delish Tony)

The best way to see Sintra - Lawrence grabbed us off a rainy Lisbon street and ushered us out of town for an unforgettable day in Sintra. Highlight of the day was the Regaleira extensive grounds and moderately creepy ritual well. We had an amazing seaside lunch where I enjoyed the best shrimp I've ever had. And to wrap it up, a visit to Pena Palace, shrouded in fog and as mysterious as it must ever seem. We loved Lawrence and we had an amazing day!

Awesome Guide - Goncalo had a gift of engaging us to think about the experience of the early people of Portugal through the lens of his vast knowledge of history. He provided us with a remarkable tour that we will not soon forget.

Super Sintra Trip - This is the way to see Sinatra! Our awesome guide, Antonio, picked us up at our hotel door and guided us to all of the perfect spots. He was so friendly and fun to be around. He bought us the special pastries (pillow ones) from Sintra, took us to the best ocean-view restaurant for lunch, and took us to a great spot to view the water and cliffs. He also left us with a list of restaurants to try in Lisbon. We tried three and loved them all. Awesome day that was well worth the cost!

Great tour, worth the price. - Really great experience! We got to see mostly everything we wanted to. Lisa was very engaging, friendly and helpful. She is also 50 years younger than we are, and tended to move faster than we do. We got finished with the tour an hour or so earlier than we expected to, and wondered what the hurry was... All-in-all, a great tour and worth the money. Thanks.

Perfect last day experience! - Lisa was so approachable and communicative! She offered us lots of choice during the day, and shared a wealth of information about Sintra, the places we visited, and even some things about the places we didn't visit! She asked a lot about what kinds of things we liked so she could tailor the experience to our interests (for example, did we like to sit and linger over lunch, or grab a sandwich and sit in the park. When she learned I was vegetarian, she recommended a sandwich shop that offered "build your own" service, allowing us to select what went on our sandwich). She spoke highly about her job and the people she got to meet because of it - we genuinely got the impression that she loved what she did. We are so glad we went to Sintra, and saw both Quinta da Regaliera and Montserrate castles. Cabo da Roca was also stunningly beautiful! Thanks for a fun day, Lisa!
