Amazing experience. Our driver was enormously knowledgeable. We were given key local information to make the most of the choices on what to see. We were also take to hidden gems that made the experience truly one of a kind. Highly highly highly recommend João C was amazing!!
Perfect experience. João was an incredible guide, gave me all of the history and information on the car ride and then let me take my time wandering around each stop and really get to explore the way I wanted to. He gave great recommendations for my entire trip to Portugal and was extremely flexible with time and making sure I got to check all of the boxes I wanted on my half day tour. 10/10 would recommend (and have already been recommending to anyone I’ve met going to Lisbon and looking to do a sintra tour. For anyone questioning…book a private tour, specifically this one…you won’t be disappointed
João is a great guide, full of energy and very knowledgeable. We had originally wanted to self-guide using public transport, but we were so glad to have met João, because we got to see so much more and got the stories to go with the sights. Definitely worth it.
Salvador proved to be a super attentive guide, taking great care of us, controlling the time and making the visits flexible according to our needs. He presented us with the best suggestions and took us to the best places, always giving us an overview of them.
Amazing experience and a wonderful day, João is a passioned for what he does and a great professional! I really recommend!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and he was very attentive giving us the best areas and views of Sintra, Portugal. I definitely want to come back to visit and would definitely recommend this as a private tour for not only first time visitors but if you decide to come back and visit again because there is so much to see.
João was a great guide! He made it feel like we really got the most out of our afternoon. Very knowledgeable too and provided lots of historical context for the sights in Sintra as well as along the way!
The best day spent in Portugal!! Everything was so perfect: the trip, the sights and especially our guid. The knowledge he has about the history and the country is astonishing! The way he took care of us was just so charming. If you want to have a totally laid-back day and enjoy the best of Portugal don't hesitate to have it with DreamLisbon.
The full day tour was full of beautiful surprises, moments, palaces and amazing nature. Joao is the best guide, he knows all the history facts, all the hidden gems and offcourse, the best authentic restaurants.
The tour was amazing! We went to Pena Palace park and then went inside Quinta de Regelaira. We had João as our tour guide and he was superb! We only have good things to talk about!
