5.00George was on time awaiting for arrival. Easy directions right actors from port. He was very informative, spoke very good English and a pleasure to spend our day with. He was very accommodating dropping our party off where they wanted to be. His philosophy was this is your time. We were a group of 7. Very personal. Highly recommend. So much better than a large bus tour.

5.00A great day out! Our guide Bruno gave us lots of interesting information. Pena Palace was so worth seeing and also the beautiful beaches of the Portugese Riviera, Cabo Roca and Cascais. Bruno also made our trip relaxing, no rushing and was very considerate to our needs. We really enjoyed it all!

5.00This excursion was truly outstanding. Even though we didn't have time to go inside the Pena Palace, even the outside is something to be seen. We had perfect weather, and our guide was fantastic. He even brought us treats - a typical local pastry that was delicious. We had some time to browse on our own in Sintra prior to going to the Palace. Then we went to Cascais, which was a lovely seaside town.
