It is important that you buy only for this slot, as we are organizing all the groups for the same time. • The tickets tend to sell out.

A beautiful day of history and culture in the city of Sintra. Luis is a phenomenon. Prepared and available. Recommended
It was a fantastic trip to Sintra and Cabo da Roca. Our guide Louis was a great storyteller and picked up us on time. We have seen many breathtaking views and outstanding architecture and nature too. We recommend this trip to everyone who wants to discover Portuguese gem.
Igor Gonçalinho gave us a wonderful tour! He was really kind, and shared us many interesting details about old and modern Portugal. Totally worth the payment!
Superb visit, our guide Louis, passionate about history, was perfect and took us into his world with a very strong command of the French language! Bravo! We were delighted to share this historical and geographical visit with family. Book this outing with your eyes closed, you will be transported into the history of Portugal.
We had a lot of fun spending the day with our guide Luis, who illustrated the wonders of Sintra, its palace, Pena, Regaleira, and Cascais with his knowledge and humor. Moreover, being picked up in front of your hotel is a true luxury! Perfect!
Excellent visit, everything was perfect. Luis, our guide, was great. He picked us up in the city on time, commenting throughout the journey in both French and English. He also commented on the sites visited: Cabo da Roca, Pena, and Quinta Regaleira. We were able to purchase the certificate for visiting the westernmost point of the European continent. We had moments to stroll around Sintra. It is an unforgettable walk. Thank you to Luis for the quality of his guidance, his exceptional knowledge of the history of Portugal and the sites visited, as well as for his sense of humor; in short, for his professionalism.

Igor was the best tour guide.. He gave us so much information about the area that by the end I felt like I had a good understanding of the history of Portugal. He was a safe driver and very polite. It was a Sunday and he gave us almost an extra hour. Time just flew by. This has nothing to do with Igor but I wish Trip Advisor would give a better understanding of the different trip options. We knew to buy tickets separate for Pena Palace ( which there was not enough time to go in) but we did not know we had to purchase Regaleira separately and I was disappointed to miss it.
A great guide a day well spent. Luis is very knowledgeable and on time. We got to the place smoothly avoiding rush hrs. He also gave us suggestions for lunch. Recommend him and the company too that was very professional.
Fantastic tour. Igor was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly person. He picked us up from our hotel. The car was clean and Igor is an excellent driver, clearly knows his cars too. Overall, a great tour.
Igor is the best. Very knowledgeable about all the sights. Highly recommended.
