Unforgettable Trip to Sintra! - We had arrived at the train station not knowing where to start. Luckily, we found Nuno & Diego and began the adventure with them. We were a group of eight, and we split into two vehicles. We got the jeep! Nuno and Diego know a lot of history about the places we visited. They were very cordial, polite, and informative. They also carefully planned the timings at the sites we visited. We recommend other tourists have an unforgettable day with these two guys! Thank you so much for everything, Nuno and Diego!

Sintra is worth a guide - Sintra and Pena Palace are magical; so worth the visit, a real highlight of the area. Ricardo was our guide and he brought us to points we never would have found on our own. Driving through CasCais was beautiful and we stopped at the farthest western point in Europe where the view is Amazing. It was a great day!

Sintra Tour - Ricardo is from the Sintra area of Portugal and provided information about the history of the region. He suggested great dining options and workarounds due to the extensive crowds. Plus he was a pleasure to be with for the day.

Wonderful tour of Sintra! - Ricardo was a wonderful guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He grew up in Sintra and clearly knows the area and the history. Fluent in Portuguese, French and English. His intimate knowledge of the area was so helpful in navigating traffic and tourist issues. Spent the entire day with him and loved every minute of it. We would recommend this tour 100%!

Private tour of Sintra, Cascais and the Pena palace. - Deigo was a great guide, actually lives in Sintra. Sintra and Cascais are our two favorite cities in Portugal. We had lunch in Sintra with the only international movie star from Portugal who lives in Sintra. Almeida is his name. It was a full day and we saw everything we wanted to see and at our own pace. Would recommend Deigo and would use him again

Best Tour EVER!! - We had the most incredible experience with our tour guide, Ricardo, on the tour of Sintra and Cascais. From the moment we met, he was welcoming, fun, knowledgeable, and professional. He shared stories about Portuguese history and culture which was special because he was born and raised here. He knew all of the hidden gems and breathtaking views, that we never would have found on our own. He also recommended local foods to try and directed us to a great authentic Portuguese restaurant in Sintra for lunch which was delicious! We spent 9 days in Europe and our favorite day was the tour spent with Ricardo. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw the important sights on all tour stops, and was more concerned with giving us the best experience possible than sticking to a strict tour itinerary. By the end of the day, it felt less like we were on a strict guided tour and more like we were exploring with a friend who truly loves Portugal. We had a day full of laughs, new experiences, and beautiful sights! We highly recommend this tour! #didodi #shmeebo
