Amazing day in Sintra with Antonio - Antonio was amazing as a tour guide. So knowledgeable of the history of the area and knew all the great photo spots (and was great with the camera). The trip is so worth it to see the beauty and history of Sintra and the coastline of Cascais, and Antonio only made it better as he’s very flexible and willing to customize the trip for our desires. Lunch was a beautiful outdoor spot overlooking the ocean.

Amazing tour and Tour guide - Antonio’s was our guide, and he gave us a wonderful day. The tour is well designed to include all the major spots around Sintra, and you have plenty of time to spend at each sight and chill at lunch. The lunch was delicious at a restaurant with a great view of the ocean. What’s even better is that I met a couple of really cool people that we immediately became friends. High recommended 10/10!

Unforgettable experience - This tour was truly memorable. It was our first private tour and the sights, the schedule, and the activities were adapted to meet our needs. I think anyone who needs a little flexibility would have a great experience.
In addition, our tour guide, Miguel, had deep knowledge of the locations. His explanations helped to put the sights into context. He pointed out details that we would have otherwise missed.
He made us feel like we were visiting friends and that he was sharing his favorite things! He exhibited joy and passion about what he was showing us. While he does this work daily, his guidance felt very fresh.
I would highly recommend this tour.

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
