    This day trip is definitely a must-do. Our guide, Gustavo, was great. Beyond his duties as a guide teaching us about Portugal and Sintra, he was fantastic about giving local recommendations for food and activities. I thought the pace was appropriate and I felt like we saw so much with minimal stress and planning on our part. I liked that we went early to Pena Palace to beat the tourist buses and lines.

    We had a great day on this tour! Our guide Paulo was very knowledgeable and helpful. We didn’t have to wait in lines and learned so much at every stop. This was definitely the way to experience Sintra. I highly recommend this tour! Be prepared to walk a lot of hills. Comfortable shoes are a must!

    A great trip and outstanding guide. This company provide class act tours. I think what I most like about the company are the small tours! And with 8 to 12 people you can not beat the camaraderie that develops especially during a long day. I recommend. And the price is right!
