This was the highlight of our trip. We selected this tour because we wanted a small group. We lucked out with it being low season and it was just the two of us and our guide, Ines. She was so wonderful and knowledgeable. She really made us feel so welcome and comfortable and tried to point out all of the important sights and details. Sintra and Cascais are absolutely beautiful and I am so glad we chose this tour!

Our guide was incredible. She took the time to explain everything she was incredibly knowledgeable. She would ask us if you wanted to stay a little bit longer in some places or not. It was an incredible day

My tour of Sintra and Cascais on 17 Nov 2023 with tour group ‘Lisbon Riders’ was near perfection! Our tour guide was professional, knowledgeable, personable, and well communicated her concern for each of us by repeatedly asking and cautioning; “. . . anybody need a break, be careful walking on our tile walkways, etc. . . .” Moreover, our tour guide was an excellent communicator and her pride in her Portuguese heritage became obvious through the passion she exudes while recounting Portuguese history. And there-in lies the rub. In near 8 hours of her colorful and often detailed oral recounting of Portuguese history, she never once mentioned or alluded to Portugal’s 🇵🇹 early and prominent role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade! I believe when history is retold accurately . . . it is neither good or bad, it is just history! When people “whitewash” or “sugar coat” history it turns real history into the genre of historical fiction; thereby rendering a dis-service to past, present, and future generations. For this reason alone, I give an otherwise fantastic tour . . . only 3 of 5 stars. regrettably, ReggieH Los Angeles, CA P.S. I did chat with our tour guide about my issue after the tour. First, she let me know I was telling her "nothing" about Portuguese history she did not already know! Afterwards, I left with the impression present-day Portuguese culture prefers sharing with visitors this Portuguese “whitewash” history vs. real Portuguese history.

Even thought it was a rainy day, our tour guide Carolina kept us in the loop and ran a great tour. It was fun and informative.

A great tour of three beautiful locations. Carolina was an excellent host providing insight at each location. Fatima is a must see! Obidos is a beautiful quaint little fort town. Extremely picturesque! A shot of ginja in a chocolate cup is a must! Nazaréen is awesome as well!

Tania from Lisbon Riders was our guide and she was AMAZING! So knowledgeable about all things Portugal, all things Sintra. She was also so friendly, entertaining all our questions, all our topics! Sintra is such a magical place, it's best to have a great guide so you get the serious, historical, important info. If you're lucky enough to get Tania, you'll be in very good hands. By the way, based on the info she gave us, my wife and I went back to Sintra the next day (via train from Lisbon) to visit other sites she suggested and wow! was it worth it.

Amazing time with our guide Nuno. We loved this tour, Nuno was so kind and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend it. Very well organized.

I am a US based Travel Advisor, and I brought a small group to Lisbon. I had used Lisbon Riders on previous trips and was very please with my past Tours. On this trip, we did a 1-day Lisbon City Tour, and a 1-day Sintra/Cascais Tour, both with Tania. Everyone raved about the Tour, and Tania's outstanding knowledge of the sights that we saw. Extremely happy dealing with Manuel, one of the owner/guides, and Tania.

Excellent tour to sintra, Lisbon The tour guide Ines was marvelous: very knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly. We had great time indeed

This tour was honestly amazing! As a first time solo traveller I was a bit nervous about choosing the right trip/company, but I couldn’t have been any happier with Lisbon Riders and specifically our guide, Tania! She was so knowledgeable, caring and keen to share everything about Portuguese culture. She also offered recommendations for things to do/see in Lisbon, and she answered any questions we had, making us all feel at ease and relaxed on our trip. The views and places we visited were spectacular, and it was a full day of exploring different things, with the culmination of the day being the Pena Palace. We also had a bit of time to do our own thing in Sintra and Cascais (with tips from Tania), which again was a perfect blend between making the most of a guided tour whilst also having some freedom. Tania was not only a fantastic driver, but a great photographer too as she offered to take great pictures of us throughout the day. I could’t recommend this tour enough, have a great day when you go to Sintra!

Fabulous tour Fatima/Nazarre/Obidos with Carolina, she is so knowledgeable, warm and professional and really makes sure she is taking care of everyone. We saw so much in one day without ever feeling rushed and each destination was interesting- just the right amount of time. Lunch was a highlight, Carolina recommended several restaurants and we picked what we liked (sitio dos Petiscos in Nazarre, exceptional seafood rice), so much better than our Air bnb tour the day before that took us to an overpriced restaurant with awful food and kept egging everyone on to order more. For us, getting out of Lisbon for a day and seeing each of these sites briefly was the right call, I would not have wanted to stay longer at any but was happy to see all of them them. I strongly recommend Lisbon Riders for a well organized tour with a professional staff, and only wish I had taken them for the Sintra tour vs. Airbnb tours which rushed us uphill in oppressive heat and took advantage of us by steering us to an overpriced tourist trap restaurant.

This was a fantastic tour! Carolina our guide was awesome. So friendly, knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with her. We had a small group which made the tour so much more personalized. They were also friendly and enjoyable to be sharing this tour with, I can’t say enough about our experience and the time spent. Definitely a must do!!! Thank Carolina!!! You made it a great experience!

What a great tour! Our guide Nuno was excellent! We enjoyed the trip and learned a lot about the places we visited and Portugal! Highly recommend this tour!

This tour a must.. our guide Caroline (English translation), was amazing.. knowledge and a sense of humour! NAZARE 10!

This was a wonderful day. Our tour guide Tania was top notch & the sights & experiences were excellent. We had a small group of 8 participants from around the world and enjoyed getting to interact with everyone. A perfect mix of beautiful sights, group activities & free time to explore. A wonderful memory. Thank you to Tania for a special day.
