Absolutely MUST do in Lisbon! - Absolutely must see and do if traveling to Lisbon. I researched many options before landing here and I am so glad I did. What appealed to me was reading all the previous reviews everybody mentioned “Rodrigo”. That let me to know that I would have the same tour guide that clearly everybody loved (other tour options can be hit or miss depending on you get as your guide) He also had a maximum group size of 6 AND picked us up directly from our hotel where other places you had to go to their specific meeting point. After landing here, the communication before hand ensuring we had our tickets ahead of time, letting us know when he’ll pick us up, etc was all amazing to ensure we had a great day. Now, the day itself. Absolutely UNREAL. It poured rain the entire time at Pena Palace but Rodrigo offered to help hold our umbrellas, help push a stroller for another family, just above and beyond. Every stop we went to was so beautiful and you’re able to see and learn so much. Definitely get tickets to see Castle Regaleria—absolutely gorgeous. The quick stop at Roca was breathtaking. It was the highlight of our trip, despite the weather and we loved spending the day with Rodrigo who made it really fun while teaching us so much at the same time. He was awesome and I would 10/10 recommend booking this tour!! Thank you Rodrigo!

Amazing Tour Guide Rodrigo - Rodrigo was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and intelligent it was so fun and relaxing traveling around town and chatting with him. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend! Pick up and drop off were very seamless, and his vehicle was clean and very comfortable. Our tour unfortunately, fell on a rainy day, but he did not cancel on us and his attitude was cheerful and upbeat, which really made up for the rain we faced. He also had large and sturdy umbrellas for us, which came in very handy during the rain. Would definitely book with him again!

Awesome trip - The tour was great. Our guide was even better. We had pouring rain most of the tour but our guide Rodrigo made the rain stop everywhere we went like tour guide Jesus. It was an exceptional way to see the sites. He was super informative and made sure we felt safe and entertained throughout. I would absolutely recommend that you book this trip, and i would for sure book another excursion with the same guide next time im around.

Best 8 hour tour yet - I will say I was anxious about an 8 hour tour, being on the older side. However this trip was worth taking. Lots of breaks while driving to another spot. Rodrigo was an exceptional tour guide who never left you wondering what came next. His explanations were precise. He was also young & patient never hurrying the slower walkers. He helps you buy tickets for the shuttle - recommends good restaurants. I could rate him higher than 10 if possible. Thank You Rodrigo.

Low value - You can go to Sinatra on your own, and visit Peña Palace, paying less. Hop on a Uber and then go to the palace. We had a nice host, but it becomes expensive when you tour everything alone, and he only drives you around. Low value for your dollar

Not great - Pena Palace was crowded and unfortunately we did not have our guide inside with us, as he stayed outside talking to other guides. We were lost inside which was not great. Nothing against the young man, polite but not so engaged with us. Worst of all, we did not feel so safe with the driving. Sort of an old van. Cascais was very nice and paid off
