Having fun in Sintra and the surrounding area - Like many Viator small group tours this was a very good experience. Fortunately, logistics made it a personal tour for our family which was an awesome bonus. Our guide/driver was Goncalo Cruz. He was a certified guide and shared all kinds of great information on our tour from the vegetation to the background of the development of the castles and the monarchy. He was friendly and super accommodating especially when our son became car sick. He had very good recommendations on what to see and where to eat. He made the tour personal and I felt like we made a new friend that day. If you are looking for an excellent visit to Sintra and surrounding areas book this tour. If possible request Goncalo!

Great Guide and Amazing Experience - Had an amazing time! Picked up right at our hotel and driven/guided by Goncalo on a lovely day to Sintra and beautiful round about way back to Lisbon. Got an excellent tour of the Pena Palace. Day was perfectly tailored to our family including a lunch in modern town Sintra at a great restaurant called Samuri on request. A perfect way to see the sites right outside Lisbon!

Our guide for this... - Our guide for this excursion was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited and we were introduced to many landmarks in a relatively short amount of time but we never felt rushed. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves. We had a great day!

Small group tour the way to go! - Our trip ended up being a private tour for three. Our guide was so knowledgeable about everywhere we went! We learned so much throughout the day and it made the time fly by. Highly recommended. PS …we skipped going inside palace and believe it was the right choice. The crowds got heavy and to enjoy it, we just kept moving.
