Our family chose the ‘City Explorer: Obidos, Batalha, Alcobaça & Nazaré’ day trip and had a wonderful time visiting multiple sites with Stasea. All locations were extremely diverse and offered a little bit of everything. I highly recommend doing a guided tour to these locations as they are far distances from Lisboa. Stasea was extremely knowledgeable of the history, patient, kind, and also a great driver. The ages of our group ranged from 7-65 years old and everyone had a good time! I highly recommend choosing this tour if you have additional days in Lisboa and want to see different areas of the country. Great day visiting multiple sites!

Veerle heeft de voorbereiding van ons dagprogramma en de ontmoetingsplek perfect geregeld. Veerle reageerde snel en goed op onze vragen vooraf over bijvoorbeeld tips restaurants. Dat was heel fijn. Veerle was netjes gekleed en we vertrokken op tijd via de trein naar Sintra. Vanaf het begin tot het einde was ons contact met Veerle prettig en relaxed. Veerle is een open mens en oprecht belangstellend. Zij vertelde ons veel waardevols over Portugal, Lissabon, Sintra en de mensen die daar wonen. We hebben een prachtige dag met haar beleefd en we bevelen haar als gids zeker aan. Een eerlijk oordeel geven over de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding vinden we lastig. Een dagtour met een privé gids was voor ons namelijk de 1ste keer. Wat ons hierbij zou helpen is een specificatie van de opbouw van de totaalprijs van 400 euro. Bijvoorbeeld de verhouding tussen de overheadkosten en het salaris van Veerle.Een prettige gids met waardevolle info

Miguel picked us up right on time (he was early) and was so enjoyable ! He arranged for our luggage to be transported ahead of our group to alleviate the stress of managing it throughout the tour. We saw Pena Palace and he provided the local history. He arranged the tickets and made sure we knew where to go and when to be there. Our time in Sintra was beautiful and the pastries along the way were delicious! He is an excellent guide and so accommodating. I highly recommend a day tour with Miguel!!Perfect Day!

We highly recommend Luis. Luis took us on a 3-hour walking tour of Lisbon the day we arrived, and then he took us on two one-day tours on subsequent days to several neighboring towns. He was flexible, accommodating, and congenial. Luis was very knowledgeable about the country, region, sites (touristy and off the beaten path), and history. He made great suggestions on what to do and was responsive to our inquiries. His car was clean and comfortable, and we felt very safe in his hands. In all, a delightful, stress-free way to get to know Lisbon and Portugal. We highly recommend Luis

Joao or John arrived on time, which for me often is a priority. Along the way he described what we were seeing. It was about a 1 hour drive to Fatima Once there he made sure we were well informed and unrushed even though the weather sucked. Next we went to Nazare, and it was beautiful. We had a great seafood lunch and on to Obidos. Another coastal town. Overall a great tour, a welcoming guide. Thats all you can ask for. Funny,informative, and nicely laid back

We did the Family Friendly Lisbon tour with Rita on our second day in Lisbon and loved it. We have two boy aged 6 and 3 and while it was a lot of walking for our oldest (the youngest was in the stroller), Rita made sure to take lots of breaks and show us fun playground for the kids so they wouldn't get bored. She helped keep them entertained while educating us on the different neighborhoods of Lisbon and where to go and what to avoid. The icing on the cake was the trip to Santinis for the best gelato we ever had and I think we visited that store 4 more times while we were there. If you're going to Lisbon with kids, make sure to book a tour with Rita. PS - She also made herself available on WhatsApp for general recommendations and advice, which was a game changer when we weren't sure what to do or to go to one place vs. another.Amazing family tour - great for young kids

Words can't fully describe how wonderful the tour to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais was. We did several tours on our Portugal vacation, but our tour guide, Miguel Alves, made this tour stand out from the rest. The sites we toured were breathtaking, but Miguel's detailed knowledge of each site was mind-boggling. Miguel studied history, and his passion and pride for Portugal were evident. He showed us the tiniest of details that we know other tour groups didn't even notice. He kept us out longer than scheduled, for which we were very grateful. We will tell EVERY person we know to connect with Miguel when they travel. When we return, we'd love to do another Porto and Douro tour, but with Miguel. Thank you!Miguel is THE BEST tour guide we've had!

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

The bottom line upfront: do an all-day private tour to Sintra. If you can, do so with Miguel. You won't regret it. The tour started with an early 8am hotel pickup but that's well worth it since you have a chance to beat the immense crowds at Pena Palace. Besides, Miguel has it down to a science to (circum)navigate lines and crowds effectively. Before going to Portugal we read multiple reviews that said that if we visited Sintra, we should skip the palace as it was “boring.” That was the complete opposite of the experience we had with Miguel. We could not have found it more interesting. We toured with our two teenage sons and all of us were totally fascinated by what Miguel shared with us throughout the day. Miguel is a huge history buff and is a veritably bottomless (initiation) well of information about the history of the buildings we visited (Pena, Moorish Castle, la Regaleira), the broader Sintra area, the artifacts we saw, and the subtle yet fascinating symbols of e.g. the Freemasons. It also helped that Miguel was easy and pleasant to be around and that his enthusiasm for all-things-Sintra were practically oozing out of his pores. We loved his genuine enthusiasm for Sintra and his desire to learn more to elevate his craft (for instance he’s been waiting excitedly for an area to reopen after reconstruction and restoration). Fantastic Private Tour of Sintra, Worth Every Penny!

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

Great day! We lucky to have Tiago as our guide. He contacted us and spoke with us prior to meeting and ensured we were getting the most from our experience. He added a visit to the westernmost part of Europe - Cabo da Roca and showed us Cascais. And still had us back in Lisbon by 3p He was an excellent guide with his knowledge. He absolutely nailed our visit to the castle in Sintra- even in the pouring rain, highlighted the love story, architecture and history. Def recommend him for this trip. Sintra and Cacais in style!
