Nuno was a fantastic tour guide.Excellent tour in every way.Well organised and interesting.Pick up from hotels works well.

Our tour guided driver was really great. collected us from our hotel and we were a very small group which was great. Told us lots of places of interest and historical context along the way.. we went through this beautiful mountain village of Sintra, our tour started through the gardens, i would call it a forest. It was great starting point very beautiful and leads up invitingly to the palace without feeling too steep otherwise. there were little lakes and lots of beautiful trees, shrubs and greenery all spread out across and up could spend some more hrs there. We didnt have to queue anywhere . Palace has lots of history to tell and was interesting. we met our guide aft the palace visit and drove us down to the centre of Sintra. we went to a little cafe he recommended and also to the pastry shop before we left. we had some time to wander and explore after which we drove and climbed another mountain to a point Cabo de Roca Cape reminded me of 'Lands End' , nice viewpoint. We drive down the the beachtown of Cascais, so pretty and had a wander around and got some super delicious gelato which our driver recommended. now i remember his name Noona! would recommend this excursion not to be missed. excellent service all round. thanks for a memorable trip - Yasmin & Zaynab

Joao was fantastic! He picked us up at our accommodations and was a great driver while giving pointing out places of interest and the history and back story of the the locations we visited . His English and French language skills are solid. We took the coast on the way to the Pena Palace. After we parked we took a beautiful walk through Pena Park up to the actual castle. Did not see many guides taking you to the park surrounding the palace and this should not be missed! Of course we walked right passed the line to tour the palace . Afterwards we went down to Sintra for lunch . Then drove to the Cabo de Roca Cape to see the point before a stop at a quaint beach town Cascais which was lovely ! I highly recommend Joao and this tour !

We had booked this tour several weeks in advance. Unfortunately, the threat of wildfires in Portugal that week caused the Pena Palace to be closed. We were made aware of this situation, told of the alternate plan, and given the chance to cancel. We went ahead and did the tour and are so glad we did. We saw the National Palace of Sintra instead and got to have lunch on the coast rather than in Sintra. Our guide, Tiego, was FABULOUS - he really utilized our driving time to share so much history and other information. We were a bit disappointed about the Pena Palace closure, but Around Lisbon did their best to provide a great tour for our group. Loved the stops at Cabo da Roca and Cascais.

We did this excursion and had the best time exploring different areas of Portugal. Felipe was a great guide and a very safe driver. He took us to all the areas we wanted to see and even added a few making extra time for our requests. Highly recommended this trip and even more so if you can get Felipe!

What an amazing day. Our guide picked us up, taught us so much about our stops, and gave us plenty of time at each place. The palace, Sintra and Cascais were all wonderful

Nuno does a fantastic job of describing everything in a fun and knowledgeable way. Every part of our tour was made fun (even traffic delays and fire closures)

This might be a little bit of a different review as some wildfires prevented us from seeing the Peña Palace. Let me assure that it was an excellent excursion even without one of the major highlights. Sintra was a beautiful village to wander through, many little shops to duck your head into and have a look around. We toured the Sintra Palace (in place of the Peña palace) and it was quite extraordinary in its own right. We continued our tour from Sintra along to the coast where we stopped at apple beach, near Colares where we had excellent food and a while to walk along the beach. The from there to Cascais was beautiful along mountainsides, over valleys and next to the coast. Cascais was also beautiful, we had some time to walk through and stop for a snack, would recommend returning to spend some time on the very unique beaches along its coastline. To top it all off, our tour guide, Nuno was top notch! Funny, engaging and full of knowledge he kept us engaged the whole drive from place to place and was as good as it gets for a tour around the Sintra and Cascais.

We saw beautiful areas on this tour! Our host, Sergio, was wonderful and informative. Communication after booking was great. We enjoyed our day and recommend this company and tour!

Oriana was EXCELLENT. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything - the palace, the gardens, the history, the towns...even areas unrelated to the tour. She made the visit super easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

The palace is beautiful, including the gardens. The time spent at the other locations (lunch time in Sintra was 90 minutes - no time to shop; the time in Cascaise was 30 minutes; the time at Cabo de Roca was 15 minutes). Suggest lengthening the tour by 1-2 hours to fit everything in. Also "historical villages" is overstated: only saw the tourist shopping districts.... "gorgeous scenery" was too short to even walk around. On the plus side, happy to have been picked up at our VRBO. "Visit Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais on a small-group tour from Lisbon that explores the Pena National Palace UNESCO World Heritage Site, historic villages, and the gorgeous scenery of Portugal's coast. Group size is limited to eight people to ensure personal service from the guide, and the tour includes all entrance fees, as well as convenient pickup and drop-off at hotels in Lisbon."

Wow what an absolutely fantastic day . Our guide/ driver Nuno was fantastic We were picked up at 9 a.m and got back to our drop off at 6.20 .Everything about our day was spot on . I would highly recommend this tour. Remember comfortable shoes and maybe a light jacket for walking through the shady gardens leading to the palace

Our guide, Diogo Ignacio was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. He introduced us to some of the fabulous cuisine of Portugal. As an added bonus he shared his knowledge of photography and showed us to some incredible hot spots to enhance our photographic experience around Sintra.

What a beautiful day with Nuno our knowledgeable, enthusiastic , easy to talk to guide. Sintra is a must see attraction and skipping the line to get into the Palace is a great help. The walk through the gardens adds to the magical charm of the tour. The afternoon drive along the coast is breath taking and it's a kick to stand at the western most point in Europe.

Nuno was an excellent tour guide! Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and full of great energy. We had a great time and would definitely recommend for others to do. Thank you, Nuno, for being an excellent host and guide!
