Great time - We had a wonderful time at Sintra and Cascais. Julia is an awesome guide, really knowledgeable and amazing photographer. We were able to beat the crowds and visit The Pena Castle and the gardens in the morning. After lunch we visited, Cabo da Roca and Cascais where she gave us the best spots to try the local foods. Would highly recommend this tour.

You won't regret! - Julia was born to be a guide! Her and Firat made us feel welcome and engaged us in conversations about the travel experiences and social backgrounds the group had as individuals. Plenty of laughs, plethora of information, just enough time in-between sights to wander alone - all a customer could wish for. Much recommended for a fun day of exploring. (:
