Great day trip from Lisbon to Sintra

5.00I really enjoyed this day trip to Sintra from Lisbon. My tour guide (Marta) was very personable and told me all about living in Portugal, different foods to try, languages, and other cultural differences from my country. She was very knowledgeable about the sites that we visited and took me to an extra viewpoint because we had a little extra time before our timed tickets began for the sites. The car was neat and clean, and she picked me up at my hotel. She would also drop me off near the entrance if she had to drive too far to park. Otherwise, she stayed with me to discuss things we were seeing. Highly recommend!
Perfect FULL day of castles and cuisine!

5.00Was a wonderful FULL day with Lorenco! Car was comfortable and clean. He was full of interesting knowledge- just enough! Guided us through 2 amazing castles….a trip to the gorgeous beach and helped us order a delicious lunch like we were locals. Gave us the tips to explore cutest area of Sintra, pastries included. He had a nice sense of humor as well. It was a great day….

5.00Our guide Ines was amazing!! She reached out to us the night before to get an idea of exactly what we wanted to do so she could plan accordingly. She was waiting for us at the Pier and made it easy to find her. From there we shared a beautiful day in Siintra, Pena Park and Cascais. Her knowledge of the history and points of interest was very insightful, and she knew how to navigate through the tightest tourist attractions and traffic with ease. She smiled and we smiled all day long. Book a tour today and request Ines!!!
The BEST tour guide in Lisbon!

5.00We went on a tour in Lisbon, Portugal on April 27, 2026, with our guide, Joao (John). Not only did we learn fascinating history about Lisbon and visit some absolutely beautiful castles, but we were also fortunate to have such a kind and thoughtful guide. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and able to enjoy the experience. He truly did everything he could to make the day special. We genuinely loved every moment of the tour and highly recommend spending a day exploring Lisbon with him. Thank you, Again Linda & Leann

5.00Catarina was a great tour guide! She is very well informed and made the day great! Pena palace was my favorite part of the entire trip to Portugal. Walking the grounds of Pena Palace felt like you were in an enchanted forest. I would suggest getting the fast pass so you can see as much as possible

5.00We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide, Vicente, was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He made every step of the journey comfortable, enjoyable and informative. The day could not have gone smoother, and Vicente let us go at our own pace. We were extremely impressed with how much we learned. It was shocking to us that this private tour was so inexpensive and had so much value. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an enjoyable, full, and educational experience.
