Exceptional experience - We had an absolutely amazing tour to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais with Nina as our guide. The whole experience was truly exceptional - Nina made every moment engaging and incredibly interesting. She shared information in such an easy and enjoyable way that we were constantly fascinated, never overwhelmed.
The trip itself was super comfortable, perfectly organized. One of the highlights was the opportunity to see Pena Palace without the usual crowds - a truly unique and unforgettable experience!
Huge thanks to Nina and the company for making this possible. We couldn’t have imagined a better way to discover the beauty of this region!

Wonderful day - Visiting the Pena Palace before it opens to the public is an absolute privilege—an experience that words can hardly describe. Walking through its rooms in peace, with no crowds, allows you to truly take in every detail and feel the magic of the place. It’s a completely different experience from the usual visit.
Alicia, our guide, was fantastic. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with fascinating stories that brought both the palace and Portuguese history to life. She made everything feel close and accessible, while keeping it fun and entertaining.
I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to everyone—it’s something truly special!

Canceled without notification - This was canceled. it was not the vendor's fault that it was canceled. It was canceled because the palace was closed due to fire danger. The huge bummer (besides that we didn't get to see the palace) is that I cannot find anywhere where I was notified (and the closure was known in advance). I got the family up super early to go to the meeting place and no one was there. We were left scrambling. I saw all of the communications from other trip vendors we booked through this site. If you go, check in with them the day before!
