Review of: Sintra Tour - Private Tour
I booked a trip and was very excited to use Filippe! He had planned a great tour and was incredibly accommodating. Unfortunately, with COVID-19, we are not able to travel abroad and don't know when we will be able to be. Filippe was helpful and refunded us right away!! We cannot wait to use him for our next trip.…

Review of: Sintra Tour - Private Tour
Our wonderful knowledgeable guide, Manny, picked us up at our ship and created a great day of sightseeing. Pena Palace in Sintra was definitely the highlight. Manny knew the perfect spots to take photos of us just like a professional photographer. We loved looking out to sea from the most western point of Europe. Cascais was a unexpected delightful stop. Lunch at a tiny family run restaurant was delicious. Manny was one of the very best guides we have ever had! We had a terrific day!…

Review of: Sintra Tour - Private Tour
Just returned from an 11 day trip to Portugal. We hired Manny with Different Portugal for a day trip to Sintra and Cascais. Manny picked us up at our hotel promptly and we were the first in line at the Pena Palace and avoided the long lines. He is very knowledgeable about the history and knew every spot to take the best photos of the views. We then went to the quaint town of Sintra and enjoyed pastries specifically from Sintra and they were delicious. Manny gave us a private wine tasting in one of the shops. Manny knows everyone and everyone loves him!! We had an amazing lunch on the way to Cascais at a local restaurant (seafood stew, squid that was incredible, homemade almond tart and a delicious bottle of wine). Cascais was beautiful and took amazing cliff photos of the water and then we walked around the beach town. I would highly recommend this tour with Manny!!…

Review of: Sintra Tour - Private Tour
My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful day touring Sintra and Cascais with Manny. He picked us up at the hotel at 8:30 am and drove us to Sintra. His deep knowledge of Portuguese history provided an excellent backdrop during the ride to Sintra and the Pena Palace. We were one of the first to arrive at the palace. This allowed us to go through the rooms and take pictures before the large tours arrived. We then visited the town of Sintra and sampled some excellent pastries. He also took us to a small shop for Port wine and jam tastings. It was so much fun as he imparted his knowledge about wines and jams and how they are made. He continued to take photos of us in terrific spots which highlighted the surroundings. We drove to Cabo Da Roca which is the westernmost location in Europe. It was one of the most beautiful sights we have seen in our travels. The combination of land and sea was breathtaking. We then had a delicious lunch. After lunch he drove us to Cascais and we walked around town by the beach. Throughout the tour Manny continued to discuss not only Portugal but the many other locations around the world he has traveled. He provided excellent recommendations for future places to visit. Manny dropped us off at the hotel around 6 pm. Overall, it was an informative tour and a day we will remember for a long long time. If you are interested in history and want to spend a fun day touring a beautiful part of Portugal, then Manny is your man. …
