-Monserrate Palace: It is the most beautiful Palace of Sintra and blends Arabian, Gothic and Indian architectural styles in a perfect way.

The triptych of wonders - First of all, I want to compliment the guide we have today, Marco, on the tour of Sindra, Pena, Cabo de Roca and Cascais. He is extraordinary, kind and helpful. He speaks several languages very well and was good at bringing together: 2 Italians, 4 Americans and 2 Koreans. I called him a "croupier" who gives cards, because he could speak in Italian with us and in English with the other passengers, almost simultaneously. Never dull. Very prepared and cultured. He clarified us, answering our thousand questions
He never looks at his watch and doesn't care. The Tour that usually lasts 8 hours, with Marco was 10 hours. Departed at 08,00, returned at 18,00. Very kind even the director of the company. We contacted him to request Marco also for the Tour of Fatima, Nazare', Obidos, etc, which we will do on Monday, June 9, and we were satisfied.
What can I say, I'm having fun with 10 and praise. Dude, Marco. Best wishes from Sergio (Sicily)

Fabulous Tour - The tour was wonderful, easily paced, but covered a lot of locations. Marco our guide was wonderful. He is knowledgeable, speaks multiple languages and took good care of those that needed extra care - like me! I fell in love with Sintra, it's a beautiful, picturesque area. I highly recommend not missing this lovely part of Portugal.

Unforgettable Sintra Tour with a Truly Knowledgeable Guide - I had an amazing experience on the Sintra tour with Luis from Lisbon Native Tours! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, relaxed, and informative. Luis is incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area, and his passion really shines through. He made the tour feel personal and special, not rushed or overly touristy.
Sintra is a magical place, and thanks to Luis, I was able to appreciate it on a much deeper level. I especially loved the mix of well-known sites and local secrets. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portugal—it was a highlight of my trip!
Thank you, Luis, for an unforgettable day

Amazing Guide - Me and my friend had the Pena Palace, Cabo Da Roca and Cascais tour and had the most amazing time and that was thanks to our guide Igor!! I’ve traveled a lot and done many tours, and I have never had a guide who was so friendly, knowledgeable without it feeling like a lecture. With great advice for sights and places to visit and tidbits of the surrounding areas and places to shop and eat. We enjoyed ourselves completely and defiantly made our tours the highlight of our trip! If you book ask for IGOR!!

Shop Around - The pros: communication prior to the tour was great. Pick-up time and place were confirmed and ticket times and prices were suggested and subsequently purchased from web links that were provided. Diego, our tour guide, was enthusiastic and had a great attitude.
The cons: pick-up was late and the vehicle was substandard for tourism. It was not clean, parts of the door seal were falling apart, and we could smell exhaust fumes in the cabin. I think this is his personal vehicle as there are no tourism markings on the vehicle. There was no water provided even though it was advertised. Our guide told us the palace tickets we were told to purchase by his colleague were not good for an efficient tour. Because of this, we weren’t able to see much of what the tour had to offer due to the ticket times and location… something you trust a tour company to consider.
I booked this through Chase experiences and couldn't be more disappointed. We've booked many tours through Chase experiences all over the world and this is by far the worst. It's like they started doing this tour right before he picked us up.
I want to be clear, this is not Diego’s company and as such, he said he had no choice in vehicle selection and he did not suggest tickets. However, there should be some quality control. Under no circumstances should anyone paying money be picked up in this vehicle nonetheless a tour company trying to make a first impression. We paid for a better vehicle experience considering we had to come out of pocket for everything else.
There were some fun parts… the two palaces and lunch were great, but unfortunately the beginning of the tour started out so negatively that it left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the day no matter how much Diego tried to salvage it. I'm so disappointed. Weigh my words carefully and choose wisely as there are many other choices.
