Sintra and surrounding area - Antonio was fantastic. He picked us up at our hotel right on time. Our half-day tour was a visit to Sintra and the famous Templar initiation well and surrounding grounds. A great way to spend our first day in Lisbon. He was passionate about his country and our satisfaction. I would not hesitate to hire Antonio for any of your touring needs.
