5.00We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Bart while we were in Sintra. We wanted to get to both Quinta da Regaleira and Pena Palace and only had a few hours in which to do so. Bart made that possible and also gave us great information about the town and these sites. He was very flexible and accommodating of our schedule. I’d highly recommend this tour!

5.00For our girls trip Bart was our guide, he was super fun, shared a bunch of information about the spots we visited. It was a lot of up/down hill walking and we went at a good pace. Happily he took photos of us. It was a really fun experience!!

5.00We loved this tour! Alex was a knowledgeable guide and knew a ton of local history. He purchased us some local baked goods and braved the traffic around Sintra. He also picked us up in Lisbon and snapped a few pictures of us as a favor. Vehicle was comfortable and we enjoyed the company of the other people on the tour as well. Breathtaking views and many different types of architecture. The tour was the perfect length as we found the full day tours to be too much after a hectic week travelling. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you!
