5.00We had an incredible Sintra & Cascais tour with Carlos. From the start, he was warm, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what he does. We got to know him throughout the day and you can immediately tell he’s incredibly knowledgeable, smart, and savvy — but what stood out most was how well he adapted to us. Carlos had a great feel for our pace and tailored the depth of information perfectly — enough to keep us engaged and interested without ever feeling overwhelmed. He made history and local culture come alive. He was also amazing with our kids and constantly went out of his way to make the experience easier and more enjoyable for our family. Small gestures made a huge difference — like bringing the car closer so the kids wouldn’t have to walk uphill. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out. We also appreciated his honest recommendations — not just what to do, but what to avoid — and really enjoyed hearing about his own travels and life growing up in Portugal. You can tell this isn’t just a job for him; he genuinely cares about creating memorable experiences. Highly recommend this tour, and if you can, ask for Carlos. He made our day special.
Great tour

5.00Joao was an amazing guide. We had a fabulous day with him. He picked is up at our hotel promptly at 830am. Joao showed is Sintra, Cascais, the Pena Palace, the ocean fishing village of Azenhas do Mar, we had a spectacular Portguese lunch at Toca do Julio, and drove around the coast. Joao was wonderful. Smart, informative, knowledgeable with tertific history information, very accommodating and he stopped whenever we saw something interesting. He went way overboard to make our trip perfect. I give Joao a 20 on a scale of 1 to 10. A trip to remember. Don't miss it.

5.00Ruben was amazing. Friendly (like everyone in Portugal) and very knowledgeable and patient. He went out of his way to accommodate some limitations we had with walking long distances. The place he recommended for lunch was right in the ocean and the Seafood Rice was fabulous.

5.00The guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. He spoke all 3 languages that we understand (English, Spanish and Portuguese). He did bot rush us and answered every question that we had. Ruben was simply an outstanding guide. He made us feel at home, and treated us as family
Amazing day!

5.00This tour went above every expectation. Ruben was incredible. He went out of his way to ensure our experience was perfect. And it was. We saw places we never expected to see. We tasted treats we never imagined. When met with crazy lines Ruben found other options so that our time was not wasted. Cannot recommend this tour enough! Fantastic day!!!!
