My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful day trip to Sintra with Luis! Although we endured some rain during the first half of the day, Luis made the best of it and enabled us to enjoy all of Sintra and the surrounding area. Luis' deep knowledge of Portuguese history is amazing, which brought the diverse background of Sintra to life for us. I cannot recommend Luis more for a visit to Sintra or anywhere else in the Lisbon area!Fantastic day in Sintra!

Sofia knows and loves Sintra! She met us at our hotel and we had a wonderful day. We went to her favorite local seafood restaurant and had sea bass caught that morning. Fantastic! A storm one week before we arrived caused major damage to trees and roads, so she had to adjust the itinerary, and took us to other beautiful spots along the coast. We even got to visit a local winery and craft beer brewery. What fun! Thank you, Sofia!!Great intro to Sintra!

We loved our trip to Evora with Luis. First, Evora is a beautiful walled city with great character. The roman ruin, churches and cathedral were a great draw, but it was walking the streets and seeing the shops we loved the most. It was also wonderful to be outside of Lisbon for a day and see the countryside. Second, Luis was a terrific guide for us. From the car ride first thing in the morning until the return trip in the afternoon he was filled with information. He weaved together questions we had from other tours with new information about our visit to Evora and really helped us form a more complete picture of Evora, Lisbon and Portugal (people, places, culture and history). He is a wealth of knowledge that flows in conversations and stories and kept us engaged all day. We highly recommend him for any tour and appreciate that he made our day very fun.Evora Day Trip with a Great Guide

Our guide, Stasea, was really helpful and knowledgeable. She guided us through each destination and also gave us ample self time for pictures. The small group size of 6 made it optimal to learn more about the place and get to know each other better. I have done many small day tours before and I must say this is one of the best I've had. Highly recommended!Highly recommended!

Our travel guide (Migel) was excellent. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Sintra & Cascais & Quelez was fabulous! Only disappointment was the weather on the day as it was cloudy & raining intemittantly, this meant that we could not go to Pena Palace due to poor visibility. This was extemely disappointing as Pena Palace was the main reason I wanted to go to Sintra. Anyway, the rest of the tour was fabulous.Tour of Sintra, Cascais & Quelez Palace

I just did my first day tour with a guide and I LOVED it! I travel a lot, but always without a guide. This time my friends and I decided to book a tour and we couldn't be happier with our experience. A huge thank you to tour guide Stanislava! She did an exceptional job planning our tour of the beautiful cities of Portugal. Her knowledge of Portuguese history, culture and cuisine is unbelievable. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation to anyone planning a trip to Portugal.An incredible unmissable tour!

Miguel was the perfect tour guide for us! This was our first trip to Portugal, and we have fallen in love! The scenery is beautiful, and the people are the friendliest we’ve encountered anywhere. Miguel spent the day with us touring Sintra and Cascais. He is an awesome tour guide, extremely knowledgeable of the Portuguese history and arts. His English is flawless. Best of all, he was able to customize our tour based on our interests. Highly recommend this tour.Sintra and Cascais, A Perfect Day

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Diogo was absolutely the star of our tour! Not only did he tell us everything we needed to know about Lisboa, but he also took us to places we would have never discovered on our own. His enthusiasm, humor, and charm made the experience unforgettable. He really went above and beyond 😉. If you’re booking a tour, make sure to ask for him—you won’t regret it! 🎉Amazing tour! Amazing guide!

Miguel was our guide. He was on time to meet us at our hotel. He is personable. His English is excellent. He planned the day so we seemed to be ahead of any crowd. He knew how to balance guided time and time on our own at each site. He obviously knew in depth information about our destinations and told us a lot about each. He was not a clock watcher in a good way. He let us set the pace of the itinerary. He even added a stop that we asked about that was not on the tour, but on the way. We recommend this tour in general and Miguel in particular without hesitation.Miguel was our guide

We spent the day with Luis who took us to Sintra and the Pena Palace. It was a wonderful day; he was informative, friendly, thoughtful, and pivoted to accommodate some weather changes to pack as much into the day as possible. His knowledge about Portugal history is worthy of an historian! We would love to have another tour with him in the future and highly recommend him.Fantastic day

Rui is an amazing tour guide. He is kind & knowledgeable; and makes even a rainy day, a fantastic experience. We got to see three unique towns of Portugal; which gave us another opportunity to understand the culture, landscape, and history of the Portuguese people. I would highly recommend this tour as an addition to your stay in Lisbon; and the experience wouldn’t be complete without Rui as your guide. A great experience

Este passeio foi fantástico, Miguel é um excelente guia. Dia inteiro, Hotel pegar no 745, pequeno tour, parou para fresco, local, Pastel de nata em caminho para o Palácio da Pena. Chegou antes das 9, bateu as filas e as multidões. Miguel nos deu a história e tempo para ver tudo. Próxima parada, cidade de Sintra e Quinta a Regaleira. Mais uma vez, Miguel nos deu a história, e permitiu tempo para ver tudo. Quinta a Regaleira, era bonito, muito calmo e pitoresco. Iniciação bem é uma obrigação. Cidade de Sintra, teve tempo suficiente para visitar a área judaica e o Palácio Nacional de Sintra, sem se sentir apressado. A próxima parada é a cidade costeira de Cascais. Na praia, este foi um destaque para nós, recomendaria que as pessoas ficassem aqui em vez de Lisboa. Grandes vibrações, belos bares e restaurantes, variedade de lojas, um hangout local, trens diretos para Lisboa até 1 da manhã! ! Regressou ao hotel às 17h. Obrigado Miguel, definitivamente recomendaria que você esteja visitando qualquer pessoa que visite a área de Lisboa!

What a wonderful way to see Lisbon. I took this tour with my family including my parents (almost 80). Luis was fantastic, so knowledgable and interesting, ready for every question we had. Luis was able to adapt the tour to suit us and went exactly at the pace we needed. Couldn’t recommend this enough. Thank you Luis Super tour! Make this the first thing you do!

Foi um passeio de um dia maravilhoso que fizemos em família, para Fátima, Nazaré e Óbidos. Escolhemos fazer o tour com o João Xavier, melhor escolha que fizemos. Foi um dia super agradável, ele levou em todos os pontos turísticos, tivemos tempo de ver e visitar tudo. O preço foi o mesmo do que cotamos com outras empresas, e mais barato que fechar pelo site ou aplicativo de fora, então valeu muito a pena! O João é super simpático e acolhedor, nos explicou a história por trás de cada ponto histórico e nos acompanhou nos passeios, o que foi ótimo! Recomendo demais fechar o passeio com eles.MELHOR OPÇÃO DE PASSEIO PARA FÁTIMA, NAZARÉ E ÓBIDOS
