A day to remember! - Our guide, Luis Silva, made the whole experience really enjoyable! The places we went to are absolutely stunning on their own but having a nice and understanding tour guide is such a big part of the experience too! He was a delight to be around!! The restaurant we stopped to eat at was really good! I had the tagliatelle with chicken and mushrooms and would definitely recommend that!!! Overall, even if the day was long, it was a very memorable experience and I would do it all over again! If I had a complaint to have is….. that Luis is not a tour guide for everything in Portugal! He truly was a delight and the best tour guide I had from many tours and years of traveling!

Incredible and unforgettable experience!! - ABSOLUTE MUST. Do not think twice. Just book it. The small group is the perfect size. We are só grateful and lucky to have had João assigned to be our tour guide. From the minute he pulled up to pick us up RIGHT ON TIME, and not a minute later, he was pleasant, knowledgeable and THE best tour guide we have ever had. At the end of the trip we all felt like family. We learned everything about Sintra and we travelled to the near by towns where we were greeted and welcomed with open arms and big smiles for lunch. Thanks to João and his recommendation, we pulled up to a beautiful and delicious family owned restaurant where the food was fresh and authentic to the Portuguese culture. I won’t spoil the rest, but I will emphasize and acknowledge that there is not other way to have the experience of Sintra and it’s surroundings without a tour guide. And if you’re truly lucky enough, you will have João and have an unforgettable experience!

Friendly and Knowledgeable Guide, Well Paced - Joined the small tour Davide was a friendly and professional guide. There were a few seniors in the group and he paced it well. He knew the history of the various places and was always happy to answer questions and had a smile on his face. Will recommend this tour!

SPR Tours, you’re wonderful! - With guides Patrick and Hugo (the first!), this tour came alive for us with their deep knowledge of Sintra, and the Regaleira and Pena castles! SPR Tours did such a wonderful job in arranging all of our tours for our 1st ever visit to Portugal. It’s the “curveballs” thrown their way that distinguishes a remarkable tour operator, and SPR Tours came through with flying colors dealing with flight cancellations, date mix ups (our fault!) and last minute request for a nighttime visit to Fatima (Marta, you’re the best!).

Must see Sintra - A wonderful day with a fantastic and knowledgeable guide in Luis who went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. Sintra is a world verging on fantasy and mysticism brought to life in part by tales of Knights Templar through to Masons. It provides a homage to all great faiths and architectural styles, a must see visit for tourists to Lisbon.

Good tour but subject to weather conditions - Not the tour guide fault, the weather was miserable with high winds and rains. Couldn’t see much at the castle. Other parts of the tour was okay! The reason not get higher rating was due to additional fees charged for entrances fees and shuttle bus rides to get to the top thst pay additional 23 plus euros and it has to be paid in cash to the tour guide. Why not added to the price of the tour so it can be charged by credit card?
