          Wonderful Day at Sintra, Cascais, and Pena Palace
          Sandra gave my wife and me a wonderful tour of Pena Palace, Sintra, and Cascais. Her knowledge of the area and its history was very impressive. She accompanied us on the tour of the palace and had great insights. She also gave us great recommendations for pastries in Sintra and lunch in Cascais. Very highly recommended.

          So glad we booked this tour!
          Highly recommend this tour and in particular our guide Sandra. I was struggling with how to plan our day in Sintra when a friend shared that she had a very positive tour experience with No Map Tours. So glad we went ahead and booked. From the first inquiry, everything was very professional. Sandra was knowledgeable and planned a fun and full day for us. Absolutely worth the price to be first in line at Pena Palace to enjoy without the throngs of people.

          Wonderful day with Luis!
          A wonderful day. Luis Olivieros was our driver and guide for the day. He provided a fantastic experience for us. We appreciated how accommodating he was with our wishes. All of the background and historical information he gave about the sites we visited and Portugal in general was very interesting. He was easy to understand. The vehicle for our transfer tour was very comfortable. We would highly recommend No Map Tours- request Luis.

          Absolutely outstanding!
          A second fabulous day with Sandra! Given the crowds that flock to Sintra, having an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and organized guide was invaluable. All of our questions were answered well in advance of our travels, and a custom itinerary allowed us to fit in all that we were interested in. Our action packed day took us to the Pena Palace, Sintra town, Regaleira and the Castle of the Moors. Rather than simply "seeing", we listened and learned more than we could have on our own. Sandra's knowledge is second to none! A truly invaluable experience that we highly recommend. Thank you, Sandra! Our tours with you were the best part of our three week Portugal adventure.

          Outstanding day in Evora!
          A fabulous day with Sandra! Her knowledge and enthusiasm brought this magical place alive. Rather than simply "seeing", we listened and learned more than we could have on our own. It was helpful to arrive early, before the most popular sites were crowded. We appreciated the lunch reservation, which allowed us to take a break and then continue in a timely fashion. Sandra possesses a wealth of knowledge, about Evora and Portugal in general, answering all of our questions and more. Learning about the locally made crafts was very helpful. A truly invaluable experience that we highly recommend. Thank you, Sandra!

          Your of Lisbon - Half Day
          Our tour with Sandra and No Map Tours was amazing! She picked us up at the cruise port on time..early actually. She took us to some incredible sites and was very good at explaining all the history! We learned a lot! The tarts in Belém were delicious and we are so thankful we were able to try them. You can’t go wrong booking with No Map Tours.

          Perfect day tour to Sintra and Cascais
          Cannot say enough great things about this tour. Highly highly recommend Luis! He was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. As many people noted in other reviews— I felt like we were one step ahead of the crowds (which is legit no joke…so so many people) to where we were just getting out as hoards of people were coming in. Luis is so knowledgeable about the history and felt like we could appreciate everything so much more knowing the background. We started the day at the Pena Palace, then had plenty of time to grab a pastry and the cherry liquor that Luis recommended in historic Sintra. Then we headed to the most western edge of Europe which was an amazing view. After that we went to Cascais which was picturesque and had a fantastic lunch at a spot that Luis recommended. The entire day felt well organized but not rushed. This tour is a must do from Lisbon and made our experience in Lisbon that much better. Will recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Lisbon!

          Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Luis
          The tour was wonderful. We were 3 couples and staying in Lisbon a few days before a cruise. No Map Tours had great reviews so we booked with them and we were not disappointed. Our guide, Luis Oliveira, was excellent. His knowledge of the areas and his recommendations for eating were perfect. We would definitely book with No Map Tours again.

          Luis made this tour. His passion for history and country was obvious and the detail he gave us made the trip. His knowledge was amazing and made this tour a 5 star excursion for us.

          Ask for Luis!
          Luis is a great driver, terrific guide, and a great iPhone photographer. He is very knowledgeable, great at storytelling, and really good at keeping us one step ahead of the crowd to avoid traffic and long lines. My husband realized he forgot his phone in Luis' car after we got dropped off. Thankfully, Luis noticed it and was kind enough to swing back and dropped it off for us. Highly recommend!

          Best private tour company around
          We had taken private tours around Portugal in the past, and No Map Tours by far is the best private tour operator you can find. We went on two tours with them, and we are so glad we picked this particular company. The tours are well planned and the vehicles are super clean and comfortable. We cannot say enough great things about our tour guide Sandra. We were really impressed by her knowledge of history, attention to detail, level of customer care and driving skills! If you are a history fan or simply want to have great time exploring Portugal, No Map Tours tours are the must. Next time we are in Portugal, we will definetely be touring with Sandra again. Highly recommend! Many thanks to No Map Tours for the great experience!

          Best Transfers Ever!
          I really enjoyed my transfers between Lisbon and Porto with Sandra. She is an excellent driver and also made sure that my luggage was safe when we stopped for sightseeing and meals. The stops were delightful, and Sandra gave me itinerary choices to take into account my difficulty walking uphill, and also my interest in ancient Roman ruins. Sandra's choice of restaurants was excellent, too. Thank you Sandra for two wonderful drives! I hope to see you again. June

          We loved this tour! Sandra was our driver and everything was great. We had the best time viewing Sintra, the Pena Palace, Caiscais, and Capo da Roca. She was a great tour guide and driver for us, very informative about culture and history everywhere we went! You can’t go wrong with her and No Map Tours for this tour.

        Great day from Lisbon to the Monasteries, Sandra was great! Very knowledgable, passionate, and a fun tour guide! She shared tons of history, facts, and stories and was happy to thoroughly answer all our questions. The whole day was very relaxing, starting with a welcome at our own doorstep to front door drop-off. Would book again :)

        My husband and I spent 2 magical days on tours with Sandra and Luis from Lisbon…Sandra to the monasteries and Luis to Sintra. Truly a highlight of our 2 weeks in Portugal. Both guides are not only engaging and vibrant but posses deep historical knowledge. Can’t wait to come back and will be booking more tours with “No Map”

        An excellent day tour out of Lisbon to see three UNESCO World Heritage sites. All worthy of spending some time exploring.

        This was made much easier by our guide, Sandra, absolutely amazing.

        The tour was at a good pace with excellent historical and cultural knowledge.

        The whole process and communicating was so easy. Thanks Sandra...

        Sandra is a great guide and wonderful companion for this tour. Her love of history and Portugal shine through. She answered our so many questions and provided great recommendations for our time in Portugal.

        It's a first rate tour and a great way to see these 3 stunning monasteries in one day. You will never see a church or monastery the same after all the knowledge she shares with you. A welcoming host, Sandra puts you at ease from the moment you say hello to the end of the day. If you even considering this tour, please do it. You won't regret it.

        Our family of five adults (two seniors and three adult children) went with Sandra on a private tour of the Convento di Cristo, Batalha and Alcobaca. We were really impressed and would book with No Map Tours again in a heartbeat!

        The private, clean and comfortable air conditioned van made for a comfortable journey. Sandra was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Her presentations had the perfect mix of humor and interesting facts about history and art/architecture. She was very accommodating to our requests and had a great suggestion for lunch. It was well worth the money spent and we really wish we had booked her for our previous day trip to Sintra. Thanks so much for fantastic day!
