Tania was amazing! She was so knowledgeable, so warm and lovely. I felt like I had a new friend at the end. She made sure her group was well taken care of. She kept checking on me during the walk and even offered my son her sweatshirt. The tour itself was wonderful. The van was comfortable. All the stops had something to offer. If you are not a good walker, I only recommend taking the shuttle to the top of the palace for 3 euros as the walk to the top is just a little steep.

We had a wonderful trip with the lovely Tania, great tips given at the stops so we had lovely pastries in Sintra village and a great tapas lunch at our stop in Caiscas. When we got to Pena Palace we were taken straight in so skipped the long queues. Tania was very attentive, involved everyone and encouraged us to take our time and not rush when the paths were steep. We learnt so much from her and her passion shone through. I would definitely recommend a tour with Lisbon riders. An added plus as we were unable to go back to the meeting point due to road closures Tania dropped us near our hotel which was much appreciated after such a long day. Thank you once again!

Diogo was a fantastic guide. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Sinatra and the Peña Palace. We had a small group of 8 people, all from different countries which made it so interesting. Diogo’s personality and knowledge made this trip so memorable.

On 30 May Tania from Lisbon Riders took 8 of us to Sintra from Lisbon. She was an incredible driver as Sintra has twisty winding mountain roads. As we droveTania told us the history of the royal family that chose the palace. She was very informative and answered all our questions. Sintra has its own microclimate and was much cooler than Lisbon so take an extra top. The Pena Palace itself is similar to Ludwig's disney type palace in Bavaria. A mishmash of styles. We purchased traditional items and cakes in the village of Sintra then drove to the westermost point of the European continent. Very windy. After that down into sunny coastal Cascais for lunch. We returned and toured the palace in the afternoon. The palace is perched high up but there is a little shuttle bus for a couple of Euros or so to take you to the front door. You can walk as there is a clear wide flat path through the planted forest (even a california redwood) but it is quite steep.

Sintra town was very quaint with excellent pastries. Pena palace was amazing as expected and all the trees and grounds which we didn’t expect. Our guide Ricardo was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting

Richard_H

Our guide took time to introduce each of us, healing to create a team spirit among us. She was very knowledgeable and always took time to ensure that we understood the interesting information she shared with us. We also had time to get to know each other. I was very impressed by our guide’s passion for her country and her concern for making sure we enjoyed our day. We did!
