About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Ira H0 contributionsAmazing 3 days with Pedro - best guide we have ever had!We were in Portugal for 12 days. The best 3 were the days we spent with Pedro. We started with an amazing all day tour of 2 palaces in the Sintra area followed by a visit to the coastal area near Cascais. Pedro speaks fluent English and is very knowledgeable of this area since he lives there. The highlight of the day was a late lunch at a beautiful seafood restaurant right on the Atlantic. We also did a second all day tour to a nature park and other cities near Lisbon. Our last tour was an all day journey from Porto where he picked us up from our cruise ship to Lisbon with stops in 4 beautiful cities. I cannot say enough about how considerate Pedro is. If we return to Portugal he would certainly be at the top of our list to help us have a memorable vacationWritten July 2, 2024
- LouisianaMomofFour0 contributionsFantastic Private Tour of PortugalFew words can truly express how accommodating and wonderful Pedro was to our family. Yes, he was also the driver and guide, going beyond the call of duty to take care of every request and need during our Portugal travels. His knowledge and fluent English made everything an exciting adventure. His hotel and restaurant recommendations for Cascais, Porto, and Lisbon were excellent choices. We told Pedro which sights we were interested in and he planned our entire eight day itinerary. When we were in the planning stages, Pedro was always very prompt in responding to our emails and texts and was very organized and professional. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word. We would be thrilled to return to Portugal again and Pedro would be the only person we would ever consider asking to be our tour guide. His kindness helped build fun, lasting memories that will be forever enshrined in our hearts. The best and easiest guided tour we have ever experienced!Written April 28, 2024
- stella w0 contributionsTour of CascaisOur guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. Pedro went out of his way to personalize our tour and shared local knowledgeWritten March 9, 2024

Thank you Paulo Silva for being such a wonderful tour guide. You are very knowledgeable about the places we visited and you were most enjoyable to be around. Thank you!Written February 8, 2024
- Ed_UK20140 contributionsGreat, highly recommended!Great hiking experience with a local guide. He was really knowledgeable having lived here almost all his life, and was able to take us to see various sights, explain the history, as well as go on less known trails we wouldn't have gone without a guide.Written August 4, 2023
- 176emileet0 contributions10/10Such a great hike. Pedro is so knowledgeable about the area, I learned so much I wasn’t expecting. Had a great experience and would definitely book again. Thank you.Written July 21, 2023
- S1063MPdanielb0 contributionsCannot do better than Sintra and Cascais with Pedro as host!Pedro is a terrific guide. He knows all the best routes, knows the sites very well, and shares lots of useful and fun info. He’s a polite and an absolute professional host and is focused on your trip being enjoyable. We were thoroughly impressed with his tour. We immensely enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this tour especially with Pedro as the host. It was the highlight of our time in Portugal!Written June 11, 2023
- Nomad7622640 contributionsMagical day touring Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and CascaisWe had an amazing tour of Sintra, the Cabo da Roca cliffs, and Cascais. Pedro was incredibly nice and knowledgeable about the area and all the stops we made. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and definitely recommend this tour.Written June 8, 2023
- Extraordinary7601850 contributionsSintra off the beaten pathPedro was absolutely the best person to provide a tour of Sintra and Cascais since he grew up in the region. He has seen the changes and shared a very up to date understanding of the National Park's latest residents of horses, while also providing detailed explanations of cork harvesting, the Capuchos monastery and the palace in Monserat. There were many other sites he shared with us once he understood our interests. We saw dinosaur footprints, iconic views of the Atlantic coast, Capuchos living quarters and more. Time spent with Pedro will help anyone understand the history and culture of this part of Portugal. The day was worth every euro. Definitely would recommend Pedro and his tour to others.Written April 28, 2023
- JohnKealy9990 contributionsGreat tourExcellent tour of Cascais by a local. Pedro was able to adjust the tour according to our needs. Would highly recommend it at the start of your visit.Written April 6, 2023
- D3768RZjilll0 contributionsBeyond exceptionalWe literally cannot say enough about Pedro and his incredible knowledge of Portugal! We loved him so much that we booked 3 more days with him. He not only took us to Cascais but to Obidos, Nazare and on to Porto. Then another 2 days over night journey to the magical village of Monsanto and more!!! Our trip was truly exceptional once in a lifetime to never forget. We absolutely fell in love w Pedro! Anyone who wants the best guide, amenable, creative and passionate about life and beautiful Portugal will need a passport and Pedro! He is the best of the best. We miss him already!!! Obrigada!Written March 20, 2023

- Travel8307980 contributionsPerfect tour with PedroOur family of 8 had a fantastic tour to Sintra with Pedro. Pedro was punctual, charming, knowledgeable and efficient. He was so considerate and accommodating to the different needs of our group, and always with a smile. He has a lot of experience on the most efficient routes to avoid tourists and queues, as well as a wealth of historical information on the sites. We appreciated that he listened to our needs, adjusted the plans to suit us and recommended terrific lunch (and other eating places) from his local knowledge.Written September 28, 2022
- Rick F0 contributionsFantastic tour of SintraOur guide, Pedro, with Pipefly Tours, was wonderful. He was deeply knowledgeable about the history and culture of all the places. More importantly, he was incredibly thoughtful, kind and patient. He gave us an exceptional tour, gave us time to explore a bit on our own, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable. We highly recommend this tour for a great introduction to Sinatra and the surrounding area.Written September 27, 2022

This is an incredible place that tourists seldom visit. But you should go. I was surprised that my guidebook bet Rick Steves did not have it. We visited it because one of my cousins had done so. You will not re great it. The monastery does not have guides, you roam on your own and discover the power that the Templar’s had. They financed many of the discoveries.

A place that is rarely mentioned when traveling to Portugal, but it is worth visiting. The city of Tomar, in which these monuments are located, is the place of origin of the Order of Christ in Portugal. The history is very interesting and the size of Cidade de Deus (Church plus convent) is monumental. Maybe the photos don't show this size!
