Best Guide/Day in Portugal by far!! - The most amazing day in Sintra!! Antonio is the best guide!!! Do not miss this!! We spent the day - 4 couples with Antonio (owner of Jump in tours). He picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon and we immediately new, he was a true professional but also warm, friendly and accommodating. He is extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon and Sintra as well (he lives there now and also grew up there). We had the insiders experience. He explained everything, gave us lots of history and guided us to the most important places. In addition, he has a great sense of humor and understands how to cater to a larger group. The highlight was the stop at Praia da Maca and then the amazing lunch location he picked, Búzio. He even passed up lunch with his mom to join us for lunch. The most delicious food, beautiful setting and service was top notch. Antonio didn't rush us, the tour extended by an hour and we ended the day all agreeing that this was one of the best we had in Portugal by far! I highly recommend spending the day with Antonio (or one his 7 other guides). All are well trained and know how to guide.

A day of history, laughs and amazing experiences - JP was a very cautious driver and amazing tour guides. The history he shared beyond the sites was intriguing. We did Sintra, Pena Palace, ate a delicious lunch at family run restaurant along the ocean. Visited Cascais and ended with fresh oysters. He really knew how to give my group of friends a truly wonderful day trip. We laughed, ate, drank and learned so much Thank you again for the amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour and doing it private Linda Bucknam

Doing Sintra right! - Wow! Highly recommend doing the private tour. Such an amazing day to have Luisa not only take us to the main attractions but also tell us about other things we were interested in, even surfing! Just the right amount of history, pointing out things we would not notice otherwise, very attentive and helpful, …to make our experience personal and fit in much more! She drove back along the coast so we could hop out at a few beautiful beaches, and pass by Belém. Awesome day!

GUI was the best tour... - GUI was the best tour guide ever. Very informative with the history of our site but also the history of Portugal. We all learned so much from him. You need to give him a raise. He earned it with these 4 Americans

Must do!! Covers a lot of areas! - Had a wonderful time sightseeing with our guide! Very receptive to your time restraints and flexible if needed and was clear about that from the start! Tried some wonderful food, learned some history about the places we visited, and truly made the last day of our honeymoon so enjoyable! MUST DO! Gotta go to Sintra and surrounding areas of Lisbon!
