Ricardo and the Lisbon Riders - Ricardo was a fantastic tour guide. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the tour and spoke to us in fluent English. He was careful to look after the whole group and he drove our vehicle calmly and carefully. He was already at the pick up point when we arrived earlier than the 8am pick up and we were dropped back on time. We felt we were in very good hands and I recommend this tour operator. The tour itself was fantastic and the location and the Palace were both beautiful. There is some uphill and downhill walking and I strongly recommend comfortable trainers and some water. It was lovely to see the countryside around Lisbon and the Palace to to hear the history. There was a stop at Sintra for the local and famous cake and coffee and then a lunch stop in Cascais. We loved Cascais and it's beach and recommend this too. Thank you very much Ricardo and the Lisbon Riders.

Fantastic experience!!! - This tour was perfect for seeing all the landmarks in Sintra/Cascais, and Tania was the best guide! She made everyone feel welcome and was so kind, knowledgeable about Portuguese history, eloquent, and friendly. She really made the day incredible, even though the weather did not cooperate for us! We still got to all the sites efficiently and had an amazing time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
