Great vacation climbing experience - Beautiful setting, different type of climbing (at least for us), and an excellent guide (Mario). I think it would be enjoyable for all experience and ability levels especially those looking for casual, no pressure, climbing while on a non-climbing dedicated vacation.

A safe and encouraging adventure - The guide was full of great tips of places to visit after the climb. He was knowledgable, kind, and patient during the climb. You won't regret including this in your Portugal trip.

Tie in and Have fun! - Jose is a fantastic guide and climbing with him in Sintra was a big highlight of my trip. He is inquisitive, perceptive, kind, and simply… fun to climb with! As a fairly new (less than 1 year) female climber from the states, I was a bit nervous to try out climbing in Portugal. Jose made it accessible, comfortable, and challenging (yes, thank you for pushing me to lead that 5.9 and attempt that top rope 5.10b!). He is open to share his knowledge of the history and culture of Portugal, passion for climbing, and has excellent restaurant recommendations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Great climbing session - I had a brilliant four hours with Mario. Mario was fun and a really nice guy to hang with, and we did some great climbing too, with progressing difficulty, just what I was hoping for. Thank you Mário. See you next time.
