What a fabulous tour - highly recommend - Highly recommend Francisco as your guide and driver when exploring surrounds of Lisbon! We were arriving in Lisbon from a cruise ship. Francisco met us at the cruise terminal (punctual) in his very comfortable, panoramic vehicle. We spent 5 hours exploring Sintra and taking in the sights of the surrounding area. We had very wet weather and Francisco tailored the day for us to suit the rainy day. Super polite and respectful. Francisco ensures you have a great experience. Thanks Francisco for an amazing day for us creating memories

Francisco is the best! - Our tour with Francisco was great! Unfortunately the monuments in Sintra were closed during our visit but Francisco came up with an alternate plan that we really enjoyed. He brought us to the town of Sintra to explore the National Palace and local shops, then drove us along the coast of Portugal to see the beautiful landscape. My kids loved seeing all the different beaches. We ended our tour in Cascais, where Francisco had made us a restaurant reservation for a delicious seafood lunch. We had a great day! Thank you Francisco!

Fabulous Sintra Tour! - Francisco went above and beyond to make our trip to Sintra magical. He picked us up promptly at our hotel and tailored our trip to our interests. We explored the Pena National Palace (a must-see) and went to Sintra, for shopping, pasteries and site-seeing. He also drove us through the beautiful country-side. Our vehicle was very comfortable and the panaramic sunroof was a big plus for seeing the castles and palaces nestled in the hills. Francisco was a very gracious, hospitable and flexible host. He also was a wonderful photograpgher and took many great pictures for us that we will cherish. Both my husband and I highly recommend him.

Lovely Tour of Sintra - Francisco was a warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide. He was kind enough to meet our timing needs and adjust our activities so that an 82-year old family member could participate. Sintra is a magical place with lots of history. It is a place not to be missed. Francisco shared highlights of the history at just the right level for us. He also directed us to a historical Portuguese bakery and to ensure we got the right items, he sent us photos of the best pastries. He also made restaurant reservations for us and the restaurant also accommodated our schedule, resulting in a delicious lunch. He also took great photos of our family, which we are entering into our shared album. We highly recommend Francisco for an excellent historical overview of Sintra and fast entrance to the sites, with excellent advice regarding what to do and not don’t avoid long lines. We had a wonderful time and were able to soak in the delights of this town in our half-day tour because we were in Francisco’s capable hands.
