  Alex Alexander was an excellent guide for us on our Wonders of Sintra tour. His knowledge of the area and fun personality made our day extra special during our recent visit to Lisbon. We would highly recommend Top Ten Tours and would definitely use Alex again when we return to beautiful Portugal!

  Our private tour to Sintra with Alex was excellent from start to finish. Communication before the trip was fast and helpful, and he tailored the itinerary to our preferences. The Mercedes van was spotless and cool, and Alex’s English and explanations made every palace and viewpoint fascinating. This was the perfect way to see Sintra at our own pace.

• Wonderful tour of special areas outside of Lisbon city center

  Our tour was wonderful. Our guide, Elisabete, was extremely knowledgeable and experienced as a tour guide. We had a very personalized tour of the Pena Palace and the other areas, as well. I would recommend Elisabete to others, without hesitation.

  Our experience visiting Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, and Quinta da Regaleira was the highlight of our trip and my parents & in-laws are still raving about it weeks later. We wanted a tour that mixed historical knowledge with the freedom to do our own thing and explore, which is exactly what we got. Elisabete is a Sintra native and actually used to work at Quinta da Regaleira so that, combined with her decades of tourism experience made her the perfect guide. We also got plenty of time to explore independently and had about 1.5 hours for lunch in downtown Sintra. This is truly all inclusive too - we got picked up and dropped off at our apartment and didn't have to worry about parking, driving, tickets, entrance times, etc - Elisabete handled it all and that allowed us to just enjoy and soak in the experience. If you are looking for a stress-free and knowledgeable private tour of Sintra, I could not recommend Elisabete and Top Ten Tours more!

  Our family of 6 travelled to Sintra with Alex and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Alex is a wonderful guide--total professional, entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. He is intimately familiar with all the sites and knows all the "ins" and "outs". A true insider. His van was clean and comfortable and he delivered on all that he promised and more. He loves Sintra and Portugal and we had a wonderful and memorable day with Alex.

  We've been traveling for 20+ years throughout Europe, Asia and South America. The Sintra, Pena Palace and Cascais tour with Alex was one of the best we've taken. Alex was prompt, pleasant, welcoming and funny. His knowledge base was incredible. I don't think it could be duplicated. Transport was via a very comfortable Mercedes Van. Each member of my group (4 well traveled adults) loved this tour, and Alex. We will travel with him again.

  My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our day trip with our host Alex! He picked us up at our hotel and provided us with important historical information on the drive to the Palace of Pena. It was ideal to have Alex give us a personal tour of the the Pena Palace, Cascais, and Cabo Da Roca since he grew up and lives in Sintra. He shared his favorite pastry shops that serve Pastel de Nata as well as a couple of restaurant dinner recommendations in Lisbon. We had an incredible lunch in Cascais, but you will have to take the tour and maybe Alex will share his restaurant recommendation. It was so relaxing not to take a train, bus, or drive a car to Sintra. We highly recommend Top Ten Tours - money well spent!

  Alex and Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure we got to see everything and had the best experience. Definitely a great value for as much as we saw, and they picked us up from the airport. Highly recommend!

  We spent all day with Elizabete seeing all the sites in Sintra. She was fantastic. We also used her company for some other transfer needs during our stay. The day we spent in Sintra was one of the highlights of our trip - in large part due to Elizabete. Professional, friendly, and interesting, we felt like we were hanging out with a good friend who just happened to know everything about where we were. She also has some serious car maneuvering talent. When we go back to Portugal, I'll be contacting her for our transfer and tour needs. Check out her website - she offers all sorts of touring options.

  Amazing full day adventure with Elizabeta. She picked us up at our Airbnb and spent the entire day learning and seeing the history of this region. Elizabeta’s vast knowledge of this area gave a inside view of so much more than we were expecting. Especially at the Pina Palace. We also had fun exploring the towns of Caicais and Sinatra. We highly recommend this tour!
