Jose was a really great tour guide- from beginning to end. He customised our itinerary to ensure we visited all the places important to us, and still added in a few quick stops along the way which were surprisingly beautiful and well worth detours (especially the most western point in Europe). Highly recommended tour, great experience

Loved it and thought Maria our tour guide was superb!!! Well worth the money and time of this trip. We felt totally safe in her care!! Maria was entertaining, fun and extremely informative. She went out of her way to recommend local sites, cuisine and places to go, The trip was a fabulous mix and gave us a real on-site into the local area. As we are looking to eventually move to Portugal this trip really cemented that decision!!

My girlfriend and I decided to go for this tour/experience around Lisbon to enjoy our last day in Portugal. No Regrets. We really had an amazing time, from Cascais to Sintra, going through landmarks such as Cabo do Roca (most western point of Continental Europe) to the Peña Palace, discovering wonderful sights and with the lead of our Guide exploring secret areas, with less tourist and more natural experiences. It was a pleasure to discover the region with a local, which has a passion for the place he grew up in. I would recommend it over and over. Particular thanks to Ruben.

We really recommend Antonio to everyone. He is a lovely man who is not only kind and respectfull but he’s very funny aswell. He knows what he’s talking about and he tells his stories with a lot of passion, which is a big bonus when you want a tour. You can tell that he has a lot of love for his city and country. He takes good care of it and tries to remember others to also take care of the place (f.e. asking someone to not throw a cigarette on the road, etc.) We were with 6 of us so it’s great that he has different cars because we were a big group. He taught us a lot about his hometown, Cascais, the history behind certain places and Sintra. He gave us tips and tricks that we took with us throughout the day. What we also loved is that he was on time to pick us up and he was thoughtful and kind and he brought some water and fruit with him. We had a 4-hour tour where we saw different places, the mountains, the sea. All in all, a day to remember. We all thank you for spending the day with us.

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.

Do you want to go to Sintra and see Pena palace but don't want to spend all day in HUGE LINES? Then it is your experience! It is a customized one, so we will enter with you to Pena palace and explain all! I will pick you up in the central square of Lisbon and will bring you to Sintra - one of the most beautiful towns Portugal. It is located around 30 minutes away from Lisbon on the edge of the ocean. We will get there by comfortable air-conditioning mini van with all the necessary insurances and license. We will explore famous colorful Pena Palace where I will show you my favourite spots and the best INSTA LOCATIONS! This is castle which you cannot miss in Portugal, but if you go there in the morning or during lunch, you will most probably spend there 2 hours in the line buying tickets. That is why we will come there in the end of the day when most tourists will go back home. Note that I have a special skip line access as well. We will explore Sintra town and then back to Lisbon

Inclusions: Bottled water, Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, Personal tour guide

Exclusions: Any souvenirs or snacks you want to buy in Sintra, Tickets to Pena Palace 7,5 eur or 14, eur for the indoors

Our guide Miguel was simply outstanding. He provided a lot of interesting details about each site we visited plus so much more. He is truly amazing. We’ve gone on many tours before and felt rushed but not with Miguel. He’s a safe driver and in the highest league of tour guides.
