What our guests say

Not to be missed

We booked this tour as an afterthought because someone told us that Sintra should not be missed on a trip to Lisbon. They were correct, and Jose was a great guide. We made several stops on the way to Sintra, and Jose never rushed us.

Sintra Complete Experience

I was so pleased with the tour. Our driver was outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, safety-conscious, and had great sense of humor. I will highly recommend your company to those who inquire as you exceeded all expectations.

Wow - A must tour when in Lisbon

Have a good breakfast and get ready for a non-stop day. Jose was high energy, super knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. We saw everything promised and more. Jose was great about keeping us on time so we could make some unexpected stops on the way back to our hotel late in the day which was a wonderful bonus. Highly recommend this tour with Jose.

Great trip to Sintra

This was a great trip to Sintra which accomodated our half day timing. You really need a full day to do everything. We got to see the outsides of most of the main palaces. We managed to tour the Regalaira which was fascinating with its gardens and alcoves. Unfortunately no time for the Pena Palace.
