The tour was fantastic, with a charming atmosphere; going to Lisbon was well worth it, and including Sintra in the itinerary was the best part. Our guide, Antonella, was fantastic in every way—she was so welcoming, her explanations were very knowledgeable, and her friendliness made everything enjoyable. The tour schedule, including the breaks, was well organized. I highly recommend it to everyone

I highly recommend this tour: the village of Quascais, the village of Sintra, a walk to Pena Palace with Nelson’s wonderful commentary, and Regaleira Palace. With our fantastic bus driver, Claison. The guide, Nelson, speaks perfect French, is passionate about history, and answers all your questions. I highly recommend it ++++

Not having to worry about the logistics of getting to the places and passing all of the long lines at the sights makes this worth it alone. Do yourself a favor and just do the tour and avoid the headache. The guides and the experience was seamless though. Well done.

I loved the explanations given by our guides María and Camila. Without them, the experience would have been incomplete, since we learned so much about history and general culture. It’s an excursion you won’t want to miss!

    Being able to visit Sintra, Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, and Quinta de Regaleira in a single day. It’s understandable that this is a very fast-paced tour. However, I would have liked the tour staff to explain to everyone how important it is to be on time at each stop so as not to cut into the time allotted for the other sites. Sometimes people arrived 10–15 minutes late, and then the guide would cut our time short at the next stop. The organization at the start of the day, trying to find the tour bus, is complete chaos; there’s no identification on the buses with the company’s name, or in the case of booking through Headout, which is a third-party provider. The tour guide (Javier) is friendly.

    Nelson, our guide, is. A professional very knowledgeable guide. Very talented. Interacted with everyone with ease. Made us feel welcomed. The driver Clayson, was excellent, the ride was very smooth through narrow streets, and I don't even road. I did not feel unsafe ever. We were never rushed, they made to feel that the slower people in the tour were an inconvenience, as it is done other tours. Everything happened on time. Aunt, we were well informed and prepared our all our stops. I highly recommend the company and these guides. I highly recommend a tour.

    The drivers were very sweet, but fell short when it came to giving us a history of where we were going. The tour clearly had Pena Palace and Quinta de Reglerira on the itinerary, but the driver just dropped us off at Sintra center and told us we were on our own for the rest of the day.
