5.00My husband and I took the Sintra day trip tour with Benny as our guide. We 100% lucked out with both the weather and having Benny as our guide. He was so engaging, informative, and willing to answer all of our questions. We tried out each of his recommendations at each spot and all were fabulous. This was our 2nd tour with Inside Lisbon (first was food and wine) and both were incredible! The day trip is a must if you want a way to see Sintra and the Pena Castle, especially because it’s near impossible to see on your own!
Very nice.

5.00Antonio, our guide, was very friendly and kind; a very nice tour of the Pena Palace in Sintra and Cascais. Small group of 8, and that’s just right. Too many people in Sintra, but the discovery is worth it; a fairy-tale palace. Cascais, cliffs and town are also worth the detour. Ideal for getting out of Lisbon and seeing something else. Almost disappointed to return... we already miss the beach and the sun. Nice tour and welcome anecdotes. Thank you
Group of 8 tour of Pena Palace,Sintra and Cascais, starting in Lisbon, Portugal.

5.00A wonderfully curated experience with multiple stops in Sintra and Cascais. Our tour guide Vascos ranks amongst one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. He was informed, enthusiastic, and very professional. Great descriptions of each site we visited and was an amazing driver as well. 10/10 would do it again.
