Crowded and Extremely Warm Weather Sintra in October

5.00Our driver, Francisco Sequiera was a personable proud representative of his country, Portugal. He was exremely informative of the current affairs of his country and the issues confronting Portugal especially on immigration issues and the economy. It provided us a good understanding of Portugal as first time visitors to the country. Francisco was hired to drive us to Sintra for the day and make our time outside of Lisbon very insightful. Love the breathtaking views. He did managed to navigate the winding and very hilly and narrow roads to make our visit as easy as possible. The crowds in Sintra really overwhelmed the town and sometimes made our time in Sintra difficult and annoying coupled with the very warm weather.
Wonderful tour!

5.00Ramiro picked us up promptly at our apartment as we were the only passengers! He was very very friendly and a safe driver. So glad we used him rather than trying to do on our own.. it was very crowded and parking was a premium. We managed to do everything we wanted and he even showed us things we didn’t know about. He provided us with maps of each site and the best way to tour each site and would be waiting for us when we were done. I had accidentally mixed up a site with tickets I purchased ( and you do need to buy online in advance to save time) and Ramiro picked us up from the wrong place and drove us to the correct place (25 minutes out of the way). We toured Pena palace, Moorish Castle, lunch in Sintra with shopping time, Palacio de Queluz palace, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. We returned back at 545. He provided water for us and lots of friendly conversation. We enjoyed our day very much!
Mr. Nuno Ribero is great

5.00We took the half day tour to Sintra, Cascais and Cabo De Roca as part of the TAP Air Portugal stopover deal. It turned out that we were the only two on the tour and so in essence this became a private tour. Our guide for the three and a half hours was Jose Ribeiro who was waiting for us and raring to go before the allotted time. The tour was fantastic but it was Jose who made the trip such a fantastic experience, he speaks perfect English and shared so much knowledge about the places we visited and much much more! He is a really engaging guy and we felt so comfortable talking with him, exchanging views and experiences it added so much to the tour itself. I cannot recommend Lisbon on Wheels highly enough, fantastic!
Awesome Service

5.00Our guide Jose aka Manuel Silva picked us at the hotel at the scheduled time and directly went to Sintra. We booked share tour but there was no other people so it felt like a private tour. Jose is very knowledgeable where he knew almost everything along the way. He also talked in funny way. The Pena Palace is awesome and i think half-day is not enough to enjoy all the attraction in Sintra. Thank you so much for your cordiality Jose, looking for another trip with you in the feature. Obrigado!

3.00Our shared tour turned out to be a private tour with guide and van. It wasn't until we got home, that I realized that we didn't get the tour I had signed up for. We were supposed to do two palaces in Sintra and visit Cabo da Roca. However, we wasted two hours in Cascais which allowed only enough time to do the National Palace in Sintra. Sintra is worth a whole day by itself. Our guide was very quiet and didn't add a lot of information to the tour.

5.00Excellent day out, just the two of us with Jose, who was a wonderful host. We were taken to many interesting places we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended!

5.00Not only was this an amazing tour, the tour guide was one of the best guides that I've ever had - he was extremely knowledgeable, with history, architecture, literature, restaurants, cafes - and of course, the famous Portuguese pastries - and was also extremely personable. His communication skills were outstanding, and he was able to thoroughly answer any question that I had. Aside from the beauty of the area, the magic with which the tour guide conveyed the information of this beautiful area, blessed by nature and man, added to one of the most amazingly wonderful days of my life.
