"Had a great day with Rodrigo visiting Sintra, Cascais and the coast. Rodrigo spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the different places of interest. He was extremely charming and pleasant company and we would definitely recommend him as a guide. Jeffrey and I very much enjoyed meeting him. Jill Cooper"

"Miguel picked us up right on time (he was early) and was so enjoyable ! He arranged for our luggage to be transported ahead of our group to alleviate the stress of managing it throughout the tour. We saw Pena Palace and he provided the local history. He arranged the tickets and made sure we knew where to go and when to be there. Our time in Sintra was beautiful and the pastries along the way were delicious! He is an excellent guide and so accommodating. I highly recommend a day tour with Miguel!!"
"During our visit to Sintra, Portugal was going through a heat wave. But somehow Sofia still made our experience great! Our group consisted of my husband and I, our two toddlers, and my parents. Instead of walking up to the castle like we had planned, Sofia helped us to catch a bus so that the kids and grandparents would be more comfortable. Once we arrived at the castle, Sofia had great stories and information about the castle that kept everyone engaged and having fun. Afterwards, Sofia helped us to find an amazing restaurant in town before we caught our train back to Lisbon. I wish the weather had cooperated so we could have done more hiking, but Sofia did an excellent job at adjusting her plans to make sure we all could still enjoy Sintra and have a great time. Thank you, Sofia!!"
"Tiago was wonderful and we had a beautiful day visiting Sintra with him. He was on time and knowledgeable and knew all the best spots for pictures! He was also communicative prior to our tour to be sure we had tickets to get into Pena Palace at a good time and handled everything for us. Very happy and definitely recommend him. "
"Great day! We lucky to have Tiago as our guide. He contacted us and spoke with us prior to meeting and ensured we were getting the most from our experience. He added a visit to the westernmost part of Europe - Cabo da Roca and showed us Cascais. And still had us back in Lisbon by 3p He was an excellent guide with his knowledge. He absolutely nailed our visit to the castle in Sintra- even in the pouring rain, highlighted the love story, architecture and history. Def recommend him for this trip. "
"We really enjoyed our tour with Rita & appreciate her proactiveness in planning our day! Unfortunately Sintra had a bad rain storm the week before & certain palaces remained closed. But Rita quickly figured out an alternative plan & we had a great day! She was super knowledgeable, funny & was very flexible in asking what we were looking for. I really recommend her! "
