5.00Absolutely loved our experience in Sintra! First, Regaleira Palace such an amazing place to be. Mathieu, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful bringing up info of what was in front of us but also bringing up possibilities of what the owner was trying to create and the extensive work it took to create. Even had info and knowledge on the flora and plant life. Lots of history about the timeline and explaining the deep history even after the owner Monteiro passed away. We enjoyed this and would highly recommend!
AMAZING!

5.00Sintra is a picturesque town, with a fairytale castle and beautiful landscapes. Matthew was our tour guide, very knowledgeable and charismatic, our vacation is memorable thanks to him.
Fantastic trip to Portugal, but most memorable day was in Sintra with our excellent guide Mathew.

5.00Unforgettable day at the beautiful Regaladia castle in Sintra. Mathew our guide explained in details the building of this castle and stories about the people who owned it. The inception well was extraordinary to see and walk down the steps to the cave. The background of the Templar beliefs with Dante's ideology intensified the experience here in the beautiful gardens of the castle. Mathew even made the "walk" up to the castle bearable 😄 If you only get to do one castle tour, I highly recommend Mathew for this one. It was great.
An unforgettable day with a world-class guide

5.00Our day in Sintra with Matthew was absolutely spectacular. He has an infectious passion for the region that kept us engaged from start to finish. Why we recommend him: • Expert Navigation: He knew exactly when to visit the palaces to avoid the worst lines and maximize our time. • Deep Storytelling: Instead of just dates and facts, Matthew shared the legends and hidden symbols of the area that we never would have discovered on our own. • Personal Touches: He steered us toward local spots for authentic pastries and views that were far better than the usual tourist traps. Matthew is professional, witty, and incredibly thoughtful. Don’t visit Sintra any other way!
Spectacular Sintra!

5.00Mathew gave an informative, introspective, enlightened, and detailed tour of the Quita Regaleria Palace & Gardens in Sintra. He conveyed the intent of the design in an interesting & humorous way. It was apparent the Mathew is very knowledgeable about the Palace & Gardens. He is a personable & caring man, who took great care of us. He made it one of the highlights of my trip to Portugal!
Sintra was beautiful and Mathieu made sure we saw as much as we could. If you have the opportunity, take it!

5.00Mathieu was extremely knowledgeable and very genuine. His grasp of the history and ability to convey so much in such a short time was appreciated. He also did a great job at helping us get the full authentic experience while obviously being an ignorant tourist. I highly recommend.

5.00Awesome day tour with Matthieu. We had such a great time exploring with Matthieu as our guide. He picked us up right at our hotel in Lisbon and took us to Sintra, Cascais, and the beautiful Monserrate Palace. We had a delicious seafood lunch at Restaurant Toscano too. What made the day really stand out was how knowledgeable and engaging Matthieu is. He made all the history feel alive and turned the experience into an immersive one. We honestly felt like the Cook family spending the summer at the Palace! Highly recommend doing a tour with Matthieu.

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Cascais and Sintra's Monserrate Castle thanks to our incredible tour guide, Mathieu! He was truly great and incredibly knowledgeable, making the history and sights come alive for both us and our kids. From the charming coastal town of Cascais to the breathtaking beauty of Monserrate Castle, every moment was engaging and informative. Mathieu’s insights and friendly demeanor ensured we not only saw the sights but also learned a tremendous amount about Portugal’s rich history and culture. It was a perfect family day out, filled with discovery and enjoyment. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a memorable and educational experience!
