Great, highly recommended! - Great hiking experience with a local guide. He was really knowledgeable having lived here almost all his life, and was able to take us to see various sights, explain the history, as well as go on less known trails we wouldn't have gone without a guide.

Great hike and views ! - Beautiful day to hike in the Sintra Natural Park. Our guide Pedro was so informative not only about the forest and nature of the area but a lot of Portugal history overall. We learned so much about the importance of cork which we had been seeing everywhere. The views over Cascais and the ocean are breathtaking. Highly recommend!

Hiking with Pedro - Pedro pick us up at the Hotel in Cascais. Driving in the national Park and hike around 5 km. Then we got a small lunch. After that we watch the dune. Pedro was a really good guide.

Great day hiking at the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park - My wife and I vacationed in Cascais earlier this month. It was our first trip to Portugal, and we wanted to see more than the immediate area around our hotel. So we tried this tour of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, even though we are not regular hikers. We had the most wonderful time. Our guide, Pedro, could not have been more kind, informative or helpful. The area we visited was as beautiful as it was peaceful and interesting. We took a TON of pictures. We also peppered Pedro with questions on a myriad of topics and he was very gracious in responding to them all. On many tours, there is little flexibility. On this tour, it was all about what would be of most interest to us. Pedro also recognized our limits as hikers, and adjusted the tour to make sure we were comfortable at all times. We also enjoyed a nice snack overlooking some beautiful views of the coastline. And on the way back to our hotel, a side trip was provided to see some spots in Cascais that we would never have stumbled upon by ourselves. What a wonderful and light-hearted experience. I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough. We were so impressed with our experience, that the following day we took another Pipefly tour to Sintra. Ana Lucia is a terrific guide, who ensured that we had a most memorable day touring a castle of the Moors, the amazing Monserrate Palace, and the surrounding environs of Sintra. A full day tour that went by in a beautiful flash. Thank you so much, Ana Lucia!!

Lovely hiking trip in Cascais - We can only recommend to sign up for this! It's a great way to see the somewhat hidden beauty of the area away from the obvious tourist attractions. Pedro is a very enthusiastic and knowledgable guide with lots of interesting stories and the natural park is just stunning. If you are into NATURE, you won't be disappointed! Pickup and drop off, logistics, all according to plan, nothing to complain about.
