Wonderful Half Day tour to Sintra!
We had a great time on our tour of Sintra and Cascais with José. He was very knowledgeable and made it a lot of fun. He was flexible with an itinerary that made sense for our family with young children and when my son left some headphones behind in the van, he made sure to get them to us. Thanks again, José, for a wonderful experience!!

Perfect half day trip with enough time for short stops in all places
Couples
Jose was a really great tour guide- from beginning to end.
He customised our itinerary to ensure we visited all the places important to us, and still added in a few quick stops along the way which were surprisingly beautiful and well worth detours (especially the most western point in Europe).

Highly recommended tour, great experience

Breathtaking Views
I took this tour with Feliciano Pereira in February 2020. It was a private tour, pick up at my Lisbon Hotel was on time and were departed toward Sintra. Feliciano is an awesome tour guide and I highly recommend this tour with him. He took the scenic route to Sintra, provided a history of different moments and neighborhoods but mainly we stopped at 2 to 3 view points along the way. The views are simply breathtaking. Feliciano has a great knowledge base to make the tour interesting, easy to chat with and very friendly. I selected the Pena Palace as my main attraction on this trip and for the tour of the palace I was on my own. I had about 45 minutes to tour by myself. It is a self guided tour. There is a gift shop at the palace but I didn't find any small souvenirs here, so I moved on to the cafeteria to grab a sandwich before the ride back to Lisbon. Feliciano dropped me off at the gate to the palace and was waiting for me when I exited. We then stopped at the town of Sintra and walked through the quaint town, taking in another beautiful view point. We took the expressway back to Lisbon in time for dinner. I highly recommend this tour with Feliciano!

Thank you Jose!
We had a great time with Jose! He is very knowledgeable and funny. He picked us up right outside our apartment and gave us a very personal tour from Lisbon to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and back. He added his personal touch with a lot of facts about the places and helped us take some nice pictures. Thank you Jose!

A great tour to explore
My daughter and I took the half day tour to explore the region outside Lisbon. Jose was the most excellent guide with great knowledge to share and pleasant conversation.
We really enjoyed the tour.

Good personalised experience, with one reservation...
Couples
Our guide, Antonio, was very knowledgable and spoke perfect English.
He was able to personalise the tour for us, and we went to places that would only be possible with detailed local knowledge.
Our one reservation of this tour, was it seems that we received the companies worst van. While probably safe and reliable, It was old, smelt faintly of engine fumes, leaked water when it was raining, had broken window catches, a door that would not open from the inside. The van was clearly ready for retirement, and we would have rated this tour higher if it wasn't for the Van.
Antonio went over and above to ensure we had a good experience despite the problems with the van.

Great trip to Sintra
This was a great trip to Sintra which accomodated our half day timing. You really need a full day to do everything. We got to see the outsides of most of the main palaces. We managed to tour the Regalaira which was fascinating with its gardens and alcoves. Unfortunately no time for the Pena Palace

Lovely and interesting tour guide Antonio, but...
Couples
Antonio was a good guide. His English was very good and his knowledge of the Sintra area was also excellent. The van however was a clapped out very old VW van which had scraped paint work and a hole in the roof which had been patched. As it was raining when Antonio picked us up, my husband, who was sitting next to the window experienced a shower of rain onto his lap inside the van despite the window being shut. The tour was fun, thanks to Antonio, but the vehicle was a sad disappointment. It felt as though we were being driven to a lovely place (Sintra) in someone's old van which should have been retired years ago!

Very nice,highly recommended
Couples
It was super nice and smooth. Our guide came exactly on time,informed us in advance which vehicles he would drive and where he would pick us. Even if we booked only half day tour, we stayed longer without being charged extra. We didn't know exactly what we want to see so our guide Nuno recommended us the best places,we saw two castles at Sintra (Pena Seteais - best ones!) and at sunset he took us to Cabo Roca. Everything was so beautiful. You can book them directly on their site.
