A wonderful tour on a sunlit Sunday through Old Lisbon. Our guide Rui was knowledgeable and respectful to our needs pacing it exactly right and in depth on Portugal's transatlantic slave trade and a history of Lisbon. It was a valuable piece of research for my next book Reflections Across a New Black Atlantic and thoroughly recommended.

We arrived in Sintra looking for a reasonably priced half-day tour of the area. António was available and we were excited with his plans to take us from the train station, to all the palaces (including some we didn’t know about), to the beaches and then to Cabo da Roca, the western most point in Europe. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with António. He was extremely knowledgeable, knew all the best places to go, including a local Portuguese diner for lunch. He always managed to find the best drop-off points, and provided insider information to make the most of our time in Sintra. We sincerely appreciated his expert driving, good humor, patience and caring disposition. Highly recommended.

Antonio picked us up at the train station and from the moment we entered his van, until the moment he dropped us off, he was a delight! He has a wealth of knowledge about the area and its history; and we were entertained by his stories and anecdotes the entire day. Antonio helped us decide which sites we wanted to see - there are so many in Sintra, you can't see them all in one day! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Antonio, and will definitely choose Classic Sintra Tours and Antonio again when we return for more adventures in Portugal!

We were in Lisbon for five days. After a couple of days of just wandering, we decided to take the yellow bus. We paid for three days which was 49 euros. It seemed alot of money but it was worth it. We spent one day on the tourist tram. We were the only two people on the tram, which was great. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to go along the whole route. It was fantastic as it took you all through the old town. We saw a couple of places we like the look of and so we then got local trams (included in the price of the yellow bus ticket) to head to one place (Graca) for lunch and then another tram to Estoril where there were some lovely gardens to just chill. The next day we took the purple line in the morning and then in the afternoon we took the riverboat cruise. Fantastic and really loved the river cruise. The final day we took the blue bus and saw a completely different part of Lisbon. You can do a 2 day option, I would definitely choose the tram and river cruise and then probably the blue bus.

The Prado has innumerable gems which are best appreciated through the lens of the extremely interesting but convoluted history of Spain. Marta was the perfect guide, refreshingly buoyant and infinitely knowledgeable about the art and history. You'll start with Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights and move on to the wonderful collection of Velazquez and eventually end with great insights into Goya's profound contributions. A private guide may be pricey for one or two, but you avoid the lines and dig effortlessly through the crowds. Definitely worth it and highly rated.
