Pedro was both knowledgeable and so helpful. We had a wheelchair with us and Pedro helped us with the chair at all the stops. His knowledge of Fantima was so detailed and he gave fun stories along the way. If you have a chance to do this tour with Pedro you must it was the best day of our trip!

This is a late review, but necessary. We thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour with Sintra Magik in Fatima. The Shrine of course was incredible. The visit to the family home and meeting their descendants were equally touching. We sampled the local cuisine and appreciated the hospitality. Our tour of the religious factory allowed us to return with artifacts for our family. We were so fortunate to have a delightful Irish priest bless these keepsakes. An awesome, memorable day. We highly, highly recommend this tour group.

The cork factory was surprisingly interesting and the town of Évora was adorable. The Chapel of Bones is extra (only 5€, but worth it) and you’re on your own for lunch. We picked Tragos E Condutos and had a fabulous meal (get the black pork!). To top it all off, the winery was equally awesome and included a tour of the winery’s carriage museum. It may sound boring, but (again) it was surprisingly cool. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and best of all, our tour ended up being private because no one else signed up. Definitely recommend!

We visited a couple of large churches, the one had a very long line so it took it least a half an hour to get into it. We also visited a cafe known for their custard pies. There is always a line to get into the restaurant, but being on tour, we got right in. They produce 10,000 small pies per day and they are warm when you get them, along with your choice of cold or hot drinks. Did I mention the pies are excellent? We went into the main shopping district, which are closed off streets and must be about one mile long. You will find outdoor cafes here, bakeries, souvenirs. You will also find mimes here also.

We spend a long afternoon and evening with Filipe and it was wonderful. I highly recommend him. We visited Sintra and the amazing Perla Palace , the Quinta Regaleira and had the lovely pastry specialty of Sintra. Filipe is a very pleasant charming person to be with, he is very knowledgeable about, the area, the sites, the history and so much more. Time flies with him. We ended the evening in a great fish and seafood restaurant hanging on the side of a cliff Azenhas do Mar. If you are in Lisbon take one of his tours and enjoy.
