The trip was very nice. There were some hiccups with transportation transfers that had more to do with recent governmental changes: not allowing buses in the Sintra city center. But the guide, Ruth, was exceptional in minimizing the delays. The tours were great and Ruth provided us with the background of each of the places so we could understand and enjoy them more. The driver, Marlon, was amazing too. I don't know how he got through all those small streets

I took this tour with my mother, and the attention we received from our guide, Iván, made this trip phenomenal. Plus, Marcos, who drove us around, really made sure we were all comfortable and safe. Thank you for this trip full of history... With people like this, it makes you want to come back. I recommend it 100%.

We had a great time. We went on Wednesday, August 5, and our guide was Iván, a guy from Andalusia—really nice and very attentive, always looking out for the group. We laughed a lot with him, and he told us some really interesting stories the whole way. Honestly, we really enjoyed it. Say hi to the guy from “the Bilbao group.”

The tour with Camila was fantastic. She really helped us enjoy the day and learn all the details about the sites, gardens, and palace we visited, making sure we were comfortable and having a good time the whole time. I highly, highly recommend this tour. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Firstly, I do not regret going on this tour, and most of the locations are must-see for a trip to Lisbon. This was my second trip to Lisbon and Sintra. As we went in August, it was peak tourist season and extremely busy. Additionally, we were unable to get a quick bus back down from Pena, due to the large volume of other visitors. While the listing mentions all private transportation, this was not. We did wait for some time, but of course this was out of the control of the guides. An important note - the listing mentioning "moderate" walking is definitely underselling how much walking you will have to do on this tour. There are lots of hills and lots of steps, so if you do have mobility constraints please keep that in mind. As far as the stop locations, I think Cascais was not really worth it. Unfortunately, you do not get to visit Cabo Da Roca, just see it from the bus. Perhaps that was due to our delay at Pena, but I did find that to be misleading. All that said, Sintra, Pena, and Quinta da Regaleira are absolutely gorgeous, and this is a great way to see the most, if not too much, on your day trip. I had considered driving to these attractions and I am very glad I did not. Finally, our guides Bruno and Myriam were very knowledgable and had great recommendations for exploring during free times. The radio monitors are an excellent touch so that you can actually hear all the interesting historical facts. I do recommend this tour, but hopefully you are not going during peak season like I was!

The tour guide, Catarina, was outstanding—a 10 out of 10. I’m not giving it a 5th star because of the poor tourism management by the Sintra city government. They kept us waiting for over half an hour in nearly 40°, with no shade, in a parking lot outside the city; on top of paying for this guided tour, we had to pay for a city bus that we had to wait about 40 minutes for both on the way there and back (time that was taken away from enjoying the city). We thought this tour was too expensive because of the time we wasted on municipal transportation—way too much. As for your company and the guide, everything was perfect.

The tour was well organized, even though it was August and there were lots of tourists, and our guide, Ivan, provided interesting and entertaining explanations to our group of Spaniards and to Mirian from the French group. We booked it online a day and a half beforehand, and I went with my gut based on reviews like mine—and it was definitely the right choice. If we’d gone on our own, it would’ve been hard to see everything without waiting in line. Thank you so much, Ivan, for making our day so enjoyable. Greetings from Bilbao!!!!
