5.00Had an amazing time! Picked up right at our hotel and driven/guided by Goncalo on a lovely day to Sintra and beautiful round about way back to Lisbon. Got an excellent tour of the Pena Palace. Day was perfectly tailored to our family including a lunch in modern town Sintra at a great restaurant called Samuri on request. A perfect way to see the sites right outside Lisbon!
Excellent

5.00Our guide for this excursion was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited and we were introduced to many landmarks in a relatively short amount of time but we never felt rushed. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves. We had a great day!
Small group tour the way to go!

5.00Our trip ended up being a private tour for three. Our guide was so knowledgeable about everywhere we went! We learned so much throughout the day and it made the time fly by. Highly recommended. PS …we skipped going inside palace and believe it was the right choice. The crowds got heavy and to enjoy it, we just kept moving.
Great Day!

5.00We had a great day with Goncalo! He was very informative. Since it was only our group in the tour, he was very accommodating and allowed us to spend more time at the places we wanted to see the most. Pena Palace is beautiful even in the rain. Cape Roca was gorgeous! Note, even though it says it in the details, tickets for admission to the palace are NOT included. Also, you should definitely try a "pillow" pastry at Piriquita pillow. It is delicious!
Experiencing Peña Palace, Sinatra, Cascais and so much more!

5.00A great day of seeing the Peña Palace, walking the shops of winding streets in Sinatra, and driving along the Atlantic Ocean. Got to view great examples of historical architecture, visit scenic forest area reserves and experience a wonderful lunch in Cascais. Goncalo added his expertise to the day and brought everything to life.
Great day at Cape Roca and Pena Palace

5.00Gonçalo was a fantastic guide, both knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the day. He planned the day perfectly, so that we could enjoy our time in the many locations and not have to wait in line anywhere. Gonçalo's personal tour of the Pena palace was a highlight!
