Great Guide!

Published on Jun, 2024

Leo was an amazing guide. I will definitely look him up when we come back. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had a really great time!

The best way to explore Sintra!

Published on Jun, 2024

Our tour of Sintra was incredible. Peña Palace never disappoints but the views from the Moorish castle were breathtaking for the best pictures of Portugal. Our tour guide Patricia, a native of the region was so nice and knowledgeable that made us feel like we were visiting a friends home town. There is so much to see in Sintra besides the big palace and this tour is the best way to do it. Thank you for an awesome day!

Fun, informative, charming

Great Vacation

Published on Jun, 2024

We took 4 tours while in Lisbon and Porto. Each one of them were amazing. Our tour to Sintra was beautiful! The Moorish Castle and Palace were so impressive. The views once at the top were breathtaking! Both cities worth visiting and be sure to take advantage of the tours. It’s the only way to get the most from the cities and people. That’s where the culture is!!
