We thoroughly enjoyed our trip from Lisbon to Belem, Cascais,and Sintra with Francisco. He was most knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. By the end of the day, we felt as though we had gained a new friend, and while it is an ambitious itinerary, the time flew by and we were left with a true interest in returning some day to further explore these beautiful sites!
Francisco is a degreed historian and was able to give us a detailed history of the sites and attractions we visited. My wife has been dealing with a knee problem and he was very helpful with our drop offs and pickups so that we were able to access all of the stops and not miss anything. He is a great guide for anyone who enjoys a deeper discussion of the historical attractions.
Francisco Maia is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, provides appropriate information and is very personable. We highly recommend him.
An incredible experience , and very educational where we could learn the history of each place that Fernando and Fablio took us , are two very professional gentlemen in what they do, I am very happy and pleased with their work I give a perfect rating. Thank you very much for a very cordial greeting has both from Puerto Rico🇵🇷 to Portugal 🇵🇹 Lisboa Bellísima.

Francisco was excellent it was a great day! Enjoyed the three towns we visited and Francisco recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area.
We were a family of five adults who got their own guided tour from Francisco Maia. He was a professional guide who in a very nice way told us about the places we visited. Because we were a company, he adapted the trip to our wishes and interests. We got a little longer when we wanted and could be a little faster in other places. He was also a safe driver of his car. Can really recommend a guided tour with Francisco Maia.
Very nice visit to Cascais a very nice town very groomed and with great economic level and nice beach. We had a very rich lunch and followed Sintra especially to the Peña Palace and thank our guide Francisco Maia for his permanent advice and accompaniment. Thank you so much for Francisco. Very beautiful places and we have enjoyed. Respected times and very good accompaniment.
