It started cloudy, but we had a great sunny experience, Joao our guide was super knowledgeable of all events in Sintra, with all lines of monarchy. He would add insight on the past to present events, how history has changed the Portuguese future as we know it.
Thank you for a great day 👌

I had a wonderful trip guided by Joao, who is very knowledgeable and inspiring. I learnt a lot about the history, culture and architecture. It was a lot of fun at the same time! Joao is definitely one of the best guides that I have ever met! I will recommend to friends and family who are coming to Portugal next time!

I Cannot express in just a few words how great our day tour with Joào P was. He made the day very special with his upbeat attitude, and with the knowledge of all the sites we visited. We never felt rushed on the tour, or that he was just going through the motions to get to the next site. His enthusiasm for the sites we visited rubbed off on us and made for a fantastic day! I would gladly take another tour from Joào, and most definitely encourage anyone wishing to learn more about Sintra, Pena Palace, Da Reglaeira Estate, or Cascais and many more to contact Selection Tours and to ask for Joào!

I really was apprehensive because the price was a little steep for a private tour. Then we met John! He took us to almost all the places we wanted to see including the oldest bakery in Lisbon which in itself was adventure. All along the way the entire day he knew the history of Portugal and everything that was there including other countries, never have met such an informative young man he totally made the trip worthwhile. He was Patient, funny and extremely informative. If I was to do this to her again I would only ask for him.

We joined a semi-private tour. Our pickup was at the Hard Rock Cafe. Our guide (who also was our driver) was Joao. Joao is a fountain of knowledge and very interesting to listen to. He is passionate about the history of Portugal and his delivery was perfect. We stopped on the way to Pena Castle to purchase our tickets in advance. We arrived at the castle 30 minutes before it opened to the public. It is a steep walk up to the castle and it takes approximately 10 minutes. Joao didn’t come into the castle rooms with us and was waiting for us at the last room which were the castle kitchens. He then showed us the chapel and spent time reviewing the architecture.
This company has perfected the art of beating the crowds and long lines; kudos to them! The lineup when we were leaving the castle were very long and we were not stuck standing in line thanks to Joao.
We were then given some free time to explore the village at the base of the castle and pickup lunch. Joao advised us on the best place to pick up reasonably priced snacks. There is no lunch included in the semi private tour. In the afternoon we drove to the quaint village of Cascais and spent an hour exploring the area around the waterfront on our own.
Joao then drove us back to Lisbon.

We decided to book this tour and we are so glad we did. Rui was our guide an amazing person super helpful and friendly. The pickup time got mixed up and he apologized atleast 10 times. So down to earth and humble. We had a great day at Sinta and toured the Pena palace and ended with a trip to Cascais. Rui was open to answering all the questions we had and we really appreciated his honesty on the answers he didnt have. 5 stars to Rui. If you are booking this tour, ask for Rui as your guide.

We got picked up at our hotel and set off towards Sintra. Mum had to use the shuttle for she was coughing on the way towards Pena Palace and Ruy was kind enough to be understanding. He remained caring throughout the tour, explaining every nook and cranny of the places, answering questions and also he was cheerful. I highly recommend this tour, small group where we exchanged names and plan to remain in touch.

We did a full day private tour from Lisbon to Fátima Óbidos and Nazaré. Our guide -Rui was a perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable, relaxed and friendly. He was really interesting to chat to and was very flexible in the timings spent at each place. Rui picked up on what interested us and suggested a further stop at São Martinho do Porto.
We highly recommend Selection Tours and Rui in particular.

Not only was Anna a superb guide, both knowledge and articulate, she was also an excellent driver. Our day was carefully planned to avoid the congested tourist places, while still visiting the most interesting historical sites. Anna made us feel so welcome to her country.

A lovely day out with our guide Ana in a nice SUV air conditioned. She is very knowledgable and knows her stuff very well.
We spent the day with her and she showed us much more than we could have done on our own. So worth it. Thank you Ana!
