Wonderful trip - The views of Pena palace were amazing, as were the commentary from our guide Jorge. We also liked walking through the forest and seeing the large variety of blooming flowers. Unfortunately, we had to cut the trip short for health reasons. Jorge was able to pivot unexpectedly and still show us most of the sites. We especially enjoyed the drive along the coast in his cabriolet.

Jorge was the best guide! - Amazing full day excursion to the hotspots of the region. Lots of walking and hills which can be strenuous at times. Bring lots of water! Totally worth it to do all of these monuments in one day if time is not at your advantage. Our guide Jorge was incredible and accommodating and has extensive knowledge of all of these monuments!

Day of incredible views - A wonderful full day experience to see the most beautiful parts of the region! Our guide was AMAZING. Expect a full day with lots of walking, inclines, and stairs. Jorge was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour personable and gave an incredible historical background at each of the stops.

An unforgettable trip to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. - This tour was fantastic to me because it was exclusive just for me and my friend, Jesse, with the best tour guide in town. Patricia. Patricia was patiently waiting for us when we were late on the agreed meeting time due to long lines, plus we got lost looking for the well, in Castle de regaliera. Patricia had the best personality, making our trip more fun and exciting. She made sure we saw all the beautiful secrets of Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais. I want to thank Patricia for making our trip unforgettable.

One day 10 - We spent an incredible day with our guide Esmil. He picked us up in a convertible so we were able to take many photos and videos from the car as well. He explained many things to us about each place we visited and we ate at a local market with local food that we loved. A 10 for the tour, I will choose it again when we return!

Beautiful! - Sintra is unbelievably beautiful! Paola was a great hostess- eager to show us her town. She helped keep us on time. After being in Sintra, a half day trip is just a broad introduction to Sintra. One really needs 3-4 days to delve into Sintra. The landscape is beautiful, each monument is beautiful and surrounded by even more beautiful gardens. Paola took us to Cascais and Cabo de roca late in the evening - a treat to see sunset. Thanks for a memorable day Paola! Your open top car allowed for great views and fun!
