THE Highlight of our visit to Portugal! - Patrik was a kind, knowledgeable guide who made the day so much more fun than we could have imagined! He told us a ton of information about the region and not only got us to all of the locations with ease (and helped us navigate the hilly terrain of Sintra) but he also took us to a delicious lunch at a family-owned restaurant that pulled out all the stops for us and made us feel at home. This was the highlight of my family’s trip to Portugal. I cannot recommend Patrik’s tour highly enough!

Best tour of my trip - This company delivers what they promise. The ride was comfortable, our tour guide Luis was amazing. He speaks excellent English and a local in Lisbon. He was very knowledgeable. The lunch was very good, at this nice local restaurant that has the owner’s art pieces all around the walls! This is an all day long tour so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared. It was raining during our tour and some people didn’t have umbrellas but our tour guide had umbrellas for them. I strongly suggest you pick this tour!

New friends made, best day out! - What a fantastic way to spend a free day! This was my second time in Lisbon so I decided to venture further than the city by choosing a tour this tour. I was travelling by myself but our group from London, Turkey, India, Brazil and Sydney bonded very quickly and shared many laughs and special memories. We had terrible weather and at one point were told Pena Palace was closed but in the end everything opened up and it worked out for the better - the silver lining was less crowds, no traffic jams and misty enchanted photos ❤️❤️❤️. Luis Sintra from SPR Tours was our guide and he did a wonderful job educating us (bilingually at that), answering all our questions, solving problems (dying phone batteries) and always checking in to make sure we were having a great time. Thank you to Luis and our little group for making this single day out really special!!!

Which tour and tour guide to visit around Lisbon - Sintra, Pena, Regailera, Cabo da Roca and Cascais - I have just returned to hotel from our day long trip to Sintra, Pena, Regailera, Cabo da Roca and Cascais with our guide Luis Silva. Even the weather is not sunny and we had some blowing wind and spotty rain from some parts of the rain, Luis made all of us very comfortable. He was flexible, very attentive to all of our requests. He knows the history of Portugal very well and I will definitely book tours with Luis again. I 100% recommend him and the SPR tours to every tourist visiting Lisbon, Portual.

Great Day Trip from Lisbon - Highly recommend this trip and our guide Patrik. The places were all very interesting to see in person. Patrik was knowledgeable about the history of the places we went and overall just made it a really fun day. We never felt rushed. The tour lunch was also really good and we tried new local specialties. We have many good memories from our tour.

Sintra with SPR is the best! - Luis Silva is hysterical! Super knowledgeable which is impressive. But just a fun guy to be around. I was travelling in a group of 4 friends and we all appreciated Luis and SPR tours. The sites are amazing. We took tons of pictures. Unfortunately we had some rude people on our tour talking over Luis and holding us up yet no fault of SPR.

The tour was engaging,... - The tour was engaging, fun and very informative. It was well explained and it made you appreciate the beauty of the area. The lunch was fantastic. The tour has lots of walking on steep incline though, so be ready for that.

Excellent experience!! - Lifetime superstar memory! Patrick was excellent! Knowledgeable, passionate about the history of his tour sites, funny, patient and super friendly! It was raining most of the time and we still greatly enjoyed Sintra, Regalia, Cascais and other little towns. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Highly recommend to really experience Portugal!

Great tour - Lots of walking, approx 10,000 to 11,000 steps, some of it over lengthy inclines but our guide took his time so it was manageable. The area is steeped in history.
