She was the great combination in a guide of being easy going and.confidently in charge. Filipa was a wealth of knowledge on the palace, places to eat, and spots along the route.

- Scenic102301877870 contributionsExcellent tripAn excellent trip, with Rui as our guide. What he didn’t know, as a Professor of History, could be written on a postage stamp! It’s fair to say he absolutely made our trip. The day was interesting and informative, and excellent value for money. We were lucky to be the only two passengers, so this turned out to be a private tour. Fatima was wonderful, as were Nazare and Obidos. All communication from the company was clear and in good time. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.Written November 3, 2024

I took the private tour with my mom for flexibility and to help make the best of our time.
Loucia, our guide, took us on a great adventure and easily accommodated special requests. You will enjoy a great day of sightseeing.
One Note: I recommend going outside Sintra as you will get stuck in a long tourist line (It is like Ikea with many furnishers but no exits). Check with Loucia on the best site to walk around.

All palaces have room after room filled with historical things. What made this tour very different was the historical knowledge of the tour guide, Hugo Pires. As we walked through the Pena Palace he would highlight architecture and objects and tell historical highlights. It was amazing!
The rest of the trip was fun too.

We were so happy with our experience to Sintra with Alberto that we booked another tour of Lisbon the next day. He was very personable. His knowledge was beyond expectations. Also his driver Lucy made us feel very safe on some crazy road conditions. Great day.

Our guide was very knowlegable and interested in sharing information with us. We feel we learned a lot about Portugal history and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide took us to many different places, communicated in a very kind and informative manner and showed us places off the beaten path. The private tour is just a little extra and allows you to customize based on your interest.

A highlight of our trip to Lisbon! We had a wonderful time on our tour which was full of information about every place we stopped and also stories from our guides childhood growing up the area. Our guide was kind, engaging and accommodating to our interests. We had such a lovely lunch that we decided to stay in Cascais the rest of the afternoon and he helped us make a dinner reservation! After a week long trip this was the perfect last day full of history and beautiful sites. Thank you!

Our time with Valerio was so great we ended up booking an additional tour two days later. His level of professionalism and knowledge was amazing and he really went above and beyond to make sure we felt safe, comfortable, and most importantly, that we were enjoying ourselves. Would definitely recommend this experience- truly such a memorable day/experience!

A truly wonderful tour, which for over 8 hours, went really quickly. Completely relaxing, our tour guide, Rui, was very knowledgeable, passionate about the area and his country, and was very funny. We were a tour of six people and all of us had an absolutely tremendous time. We could rave about the tour and Rui enough. He was also super helpful in providing recommendations for things to do, places to see, places to eat and places to drink. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. First Class!

We booked a tour to Sintra, and our guide was “Felipe.” We can’t say enough about his friendly demeanor, extensive knowledge about sites., and overall professionalism. A successful tour has almost everything to do with the guide; if Felipe is the main criterion for evaluating Selection Tours, then the company gets a 5 Star rating.

My husband and I had a very pleasant day with our host Ana Margarida. Much more than a "guide", she took very good care of us, and at all moments was really concerned in making our day a special one!
She paid special attention to our background and took us to the Palácio de Queluz, which has close relation to our country's history. She kept us away from lines and crowds, told us interesting and funny stories about the spots we visited. She is an awsome driver, and also had an extra patience with me and my difficulty with walking up the way to the Palácio da Pena. Thanks for that! ;)
Her enthusiasm with the places and Portugal's history is very exciting. Thank you for sharing with us a bit of your Country and your stories.
The tour really excelled our expectations!

Our tour guide João was amazing! He truly made the experience for myself, my husband, and our toddler an unforgettable one. He was accommodating, entertaining, and a wealth of knowledge. We were in Portugal for two weeks and this tour was a highlight. Pena palace Is a must visit, and the other stops on the tour were well worth it.

My husband and I are interested in a private tour of just Sintra. Is it possible to customize the itinerary ?
Written February 13, 2019
Hello, we are four adults. Can we customize our tour to stay just in Sintra, including sites such as Pena Palace, historic centre of Sintra, Quinta da Rogaleira and Cabo Roca? We are interested in the day of 08 May. Thank you.
Written February 13, 2019
Yes. When you book your tours, they will ask you for your preferred language. After Portuguese, English is the most prevalent language requested but certainly, we saw that tours in French, German and even Japanese were available. You can specific this upon booking and they will direct you to a guide in the language of your choice.

Written August 14, 2018
You could still easily visit Sintra as it is only half an hour from Lisboa. You could probably still travel back to Lisboa via the coast road but not have as much leisure time at each stop.

My husband and I did this tour and it was, indeed, a private tour for just the two of us with the driver. He picked us up from the hotel and drove us directly to Sintra first. Then, we went to Cascais where we had lunch and spent time walking around the town. I know it says Estoril but we just drove through it. Estoril is really just a beach a few miles outside of Lisbon,
