Wonderful!! - Valerie was WONDERFUL! She is from Sintra, so she know the area and history so well. We were impressed with her overall knowledge of Lisbon and Sintra areas. She knew historical dates, the Lison royal line of succession - she knew the castle and palace so well, it’s like she was a resident. She was wonderful!

Sintra Half day trip - Went on a trip today with the lovely Tour guide Bart. We got picked up from Lisbon and taken to Sintra for our day trip. I would definitely recommend going to Sintra as a day trip from Lisbon and definitely book with this Tour company. Bart was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We had a great time exploring Sintra.

Awesome Tour with Bart! - I had a wonderful time on this tour. Bart was very knowledgeable and fun! There was an unforeseen road closure (main road to Pena Palace), but he had already made other arrangements and everything went very smoothly. I really liked the half day format - saw some highlights and still back to Lisbon in time for afternoon activities and dinner. 100% recommend!!! Instructions and meeting place were very clear.

Perfect half day trip to Sintra - Our guide, Bruno, was an excellent historian and gave so much important and valuable information regarding the history of not only Sintra but also of Portugal. We felt that our trip was well worth it and the pastries he provided for us were delicious. A happy trip for us was exactly what we wanted and the drive there and back was easy. It left us with the rest of the day to do more exploring in Lisbon. Highly recommend recommended, and Bruno was a delight!

A perfect way to see Sintra from Lisbon - This tour is great! This trip squeezed in two amazing palaces and some sightseeing along the way - it felt really full and I think a longer day would have been exhausting. Andre was a fabulous guide, full of stories and historical knowledge. He really listened to our group, particularly when there was a choice to make based on a road closure (storms had damaged the road to Pena, so we chose to go to the highly underrated Palace of Queluz.) Easy meet up with clear instructions at all steps. 10/10, highly recommended.

Caution - check the weather - Enjoyed this trip despite the chilly/foggy weather. We departed early (moved 8:30 to 8 for 7:50 meeting time) due to the storm damage. But it worked - we beat the crowds and got one of the few remaining parking spaces at Pena Palace. Unfortunately, the weather was not amenable. It was cold and foggy - with periodic drizzles. The stories about Pena Palace (thank you Bart) still made it an interesting visit, but the oh so popular views were naught to be found. So if you’re only going for the views, make sure you check the weather. And consider bringing a warmer jacket even if you don’t think you’ll wear it - you can leave it in the car. Visit to town was actually nice. I’m not a shopper but grabbed a hot chocolate and pastry and enjoyed the view. Regaliera was my favorite stop. The palace was beautiful (outside and inside) but the grounds - including the well - were what made this visit. And the views were pretty good too. Bart provided lots of great information about the sites we visited (and sites that we passed and general Portuguese history). He was friendly, informative, and kept us on track. But it was more than that - he made the trip truly interesting (even when no one in the car was engaging),
