    I did this experience with my sister and let me just say we were not disappointed. Alexandra was an amazing tour guide and so knowledgeable about the culture and places we visited. We expected a hike and that is what we got! The views are worth every step and I couldn’t imagine seeing these places any other way. We have a whole new appreciation for the inner meaning behind these ancient structures.

    The tour was a hike up and down the mountain in Sintra but the experience was unique and we saw so much and learned a lot about the history and the architecture of these important monuments in Sintra. There is a lot of walking and it is strenuous but worthwhile

    Alex was a great host, guide and generally just a wonderful person to spend the day with. The hike was absolutely beautiful. I’m very glad we did this with her because it would have been easy to miss some of the amazing little paths, hikes, caves, etc that we saw. Alex had a thorough knowledge of the history of the place and a keen interest in the significance of the monuments and mountain. We had plenty of time and space to explore the monuments as we wanted. She explained things well. My 10-year-old and 15-year old really enjoyed it as well. I would highly, highly recommend this tour.
