Vasco was wonderful! As a local, his knowledge of the backroads and short cuts came in handy in the hustle and bustle of Sintra. He skillfully maneuvered his vehicle through crowds of milling tourists to take us to the Queluz and Monserrate Palaces and the Quinta da Regaleira. We were very impressed with his explanations of how the impact of the Freemasons could be seen in subtle details of the architecture and design. He is a lovely family man who was extremely considerate and caring for my travel companion who is a bit elderly. As a definite plus, he got us reservations at a fabulous seafood restaurant with a gorgeous view of the ocean and drove us back to Lisbon on the loveliest of backroads that only a local would know.

Our our guide, Nuno was the very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our time with him. I could highly recommend him for any tour. Nuno took us to great lunch. Just a wonderful guide. Thank you.

Ruben our guide and driver was exceptional in every aspect of the tour. He is knowledgeable about Portugal and its history. We were comfortable and fully trusted his driving skills around the narrow roads and the mountains. We can’t say enough about how pleased we are spending the entire day with Ruben - We will certainly return and hope we can hang with Ruben again real soon - We were so excited that neglected to take a photo with him . Highly recommend Ruben and this private tour. Thank you Ruben, see you next time !

Seeing the well at Sintra was very special. Pedro was an excellent guide and advised us due to the time restraints to see this instead of the palace. He was right. And he walked us all the way up to the queue for going to see the well and gave us valuable advice on navigating the tunnels. Then we went to the farthest western point of mainland Portugal for the awesome view, and had lunch along the coast to Cascais-also with a fantastic view. A private tour is definitely a good choice because it was tailored to our needs. Thank you, Pedro.

We so enjoyed our day exploring Sintra and Cascais! It is a wonderful way to spend a day! Hugo (pronounced Ogo) was an excellent host and driver! We couldn’t have been happier to have him behind the wheel on those windy, skinny roads! His recommendation for lunch was Toco de Julio (sp?) was amazing but way too much food and wine so be prepared to enjoy! We especially enjoyed the gardens!

Our tour guide Nuno made sure that my fiancée and I had the absolute best day. He was an encyclopedia of information and knew all the secret spots and best times to go to avoid the crowds. He also knew what tickets were worth buying and which ones were not. The itinerary was flexible but we spent time at Pena Palace, Sintra, Regaleira, Cabo de Roca and Cascais. He also found a great spot for lunch based on our preferences. We could not have asked for a better guide and he was a true, welcoming local. The vehicle was very comfortable throughout all the stops and I have nothing negative to say. Highly recommend!
