Hidden Gems in Lisbon

Our day with Sofia was absolutely perfect! All I can say is trust her ideas and be willing to adjust your plan to her suggestions. She knows what she is talking about! We started early per her suggestion and thankfully we did. We took a train from Lisbon into Sintra to meet Sofia and begin at Peña Palace. We arrived before the big tourist crowds and thankfully we did! As our tour through the palace was over, thousands of people were in line. We had lunch on the oeanfromt at a lovely Portuguese seafood restaurant that had incredible food with perfect views! We ended the trip by going to the Capuchin Convent and so glad we did. Seeing how the monks lived at the time and learning their history was so intriguing. The drive up the mountain to the convent as beautiful. We basically had this place to ourselves and it was the perfect complement to the palace. Zero regrets about this tour with Sofia!

We were very pleased with Sofia. Not only was she very knowledgeable about Sintra, but was able to communicate with us perfectly and was a charming person. We were very happy with her and delighted that she was our gude.

Sofia is the best Tour Guide we have experienced. She is very professional, expert in her Sintra history, consderate in her concern for our wheelchair and accomodating in all respects. Her English is perfect and made it very easy to be with.
