Great experience with... - Great experience with Anait (Ana). We took our time to enjoy Sintra, Quinta de Regaleira and its Dante’s Inferno-esque landscape and caves, Cabo de Roca, a local lunch, and I upgraded to the fast pass of the National Palace of Pena - highly recommend especially in the off-season - with Ana walking me through and giving me the history.

Amazing Experience of Sintra - Our private guided tour of Sintra with Ana exceeded our expectations. She tailored the experience to our pace, sharing her passion for the location's history and beauty. With her warmth, vast knowledge, and attention to detail, we explored Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, and Cabo da Roca. We highly recommend Ana for a deeply personal and unforgettable visit to Sintra.

Great day trip to Sintra. - Day trip out to Sintra was fascinating & interesting. Catarina was very knowledgeable and engaging. Quinta da Regaleira was amazing particularly the gardens, the well and caves were the highlights. Walk up to Pena palace wasn’t too bad but once up there the wind was freezing! Catarina was great at explaining the history of the palace. Catarina booked us a place at a restaurant in Colares. We had beach views which was lovely. The seafood there was amazing so fresh. Overall we had a wonderful day, Catarina is an excellent guide and she also provided some great recommendations for our stay in Lisbon.

Beautiful way to see Sintra - It was a rainy day and our tour guide Laurenco was very prepared to take us up to Sintra. We saw all of the magical Palaces and learned a lot about the history of Portugal. Laurenco took us to an amazing lunch on the beach where are the freshest fish and enjoyed the beautiful views. I would highly recommend this tour if you would like to skip the lines and have a day with a local that shares the rich history of Portugal.
