Wonderful trip to Sintra - We had a wonderful time with Pedro and were so happy to have him with us. I would honestly rate him 10 out of 5 stars. After I accidentally bought tickets from a scam website, we thought our trip was ruined. But Pedro went out of his way to help us reschedule our itinerary, and thanks to him, we were still able to visit both Pena Palace and Sintra National Palace. Pedro was also incredibly knowledgeable and informative. He shared so many interesting details about the palaces that we never would have known on our own, which made the trip much more than just sightseeing. It felt like a real introduction to Portuguese culture and history. On top of that, the car was very comfortable, even on the narrow streets of Sintra. The small bars and bakery he recommended were also absolute gems. I can’t recommend Pedro highly enough. Thank you, Pedro!

Carlos the Thoughtful Guide - Yesterday we had a day trip with Carlos to Sintra and Cascais. It was a tremendous experience for my mother and I. My mom is a bit older and suffers from multiple sclerosis. Carlos adjusted the trip to meet her needs and wishes. He was interactive in a manner that really boosted our experience in Portugal. We learned a ton. Most importantly he listened and was able to craft some special stops for us that made our trip to Portugal so memorable. Carlos is an asset to your team.

A fantastic day! Just the... - A fantastic day! Just the right pace of sites and downtime for our family of five, with a lot of flexibility in terms of choosing which areas to cover within the experience. In addition to our beautiful tours and time around the grounds of Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira, we were able to stop for a quick pastry and coffee at a local cafe in the morning to talk about the day, and have a delicious lunch off the beaten path in Sintra. Our guide, Goncalo, also got us to Cabo da Roca and Cascais Beach at the end of afternoon and early evening for some beautiful photos and walk around. Goncalo was a perfect guide, giving us just the right amount of information at each site and plenty of time to explore. Kind and welcoming, he also offered recommendations for any other activities while in Portugal. We loved the entire experience! We could have never covered this amount of sites and experiences within one day on our own without the expertise of our guide. Would highly recommend!

Outstanding Customer Experience - From even before the tour, the experience with Viator was just awesome. We had a few hiccups--1) it was Easter week and crowds were growing; 2) Family emergency for scheduled tour guide. Both issues were handled quickly and professionally. Pedro contacted me the day before the tour realizing that ticket sales for the Regaleira would be difficult. When I didn't respond right away, he went ahead and purchased the tickets for us so that we wouldn't be closed out of seeing that majestic building and grounds. Then, on the day of, our scheduled tour guide learned of a family emergency. Pedro & Miguel were already looking for a solution--his name was Jorge! Jorge, who was supposed to have the day off, stepped in and provided us with a most memorable day. So much knowledge of the history of Portugal, fun and charismatic as well. The Palace and Regaleira were astonishing and we had beautiful stops along the way to view the impressive coastline of Portugal. Highly recommend this tour!

Perfect tour of Sintra! - Perfect mix of history, scenery and freestyle exploring. Miguel our guide was great! Knowledgeable and easy to chat with, helpful in finding the sorts of places we wanted to see. We enjoyed both palaces (Pena and Regaleira) which were both so different, as well as walking around Sintra and Cascais. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Perfect Way to Explore Cascais and Sintra as a Group - We had a fantastic day with Miguel and his team! We were a group of 12 (mix of young kids and adults) in two vans, and everything ran seamlessly. Miguel was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly flexible-he tailored the day to our group and kept a perfect pace for both kids and adults. We never felt rushed and always felt well taken care of. A wonderful, stress-free way to explore Sintra and the coast. Highly recommend, especially for families or larger groups!

Hands down. The Best tour company in Lisbon - I go Portugal i makes you feel like family which is so rare. They are so professional, but also very flexible - my kids decided they wanted to go to causcais and Guelez instead of Pena and Pedro and Sonia helped us with every detail. Pedro even called me in America to help me redo our schedule when we had to postpone our trip a few days because my daughter got sick. They were so sweet and so concerned about how she was feeling. I mean who does that? Amazing. This company is so outstanding and they really make you feel so special. The Regaleira with Sonia was so much fun. She is so warm and genuinely wants her client to have the best time (and we did). She has the most infectious laugh and it’s worth going just to hear it. Sonia really loves.what she does and you can tell. Sonia even helped us through the train station because she always was a Single Mom with the two kids. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I wish every company was I go Portugal. Don’t think twice just book them. They’re so incredible and special.

IGO PORTUGAL is exceptional - We travel a lot, and I can say with so much authority that I go Portugal is one of the best Tour companies you could ever wish for. They honestly make you feel like family and that is so rare. We had to postpone our trip a few days because my daughter got sick and they not only were incredible about rescheduling, They actually called me in the US to help me figure out a new and even better itinerary for our revised schedule. Sonia is so much fun to be with (it’s worth booking the Tour just to hear her infectiouslaugh). We’ve had other guides and it’s a little bit of a struggle sometimes to spend the whole day with them, but we didn’t want our magical Sintra day to end with Sonia (we would’ve made her come to dinner with us if we weren’t making a train). And speaking of trains, Sonia not only helped us find our gate. She even waited with us at the train station because she knew I was a single mom traveling with two children. I’m not to tell every single person I know about this wonderful company.
