Our tour was cancelled on the morning we were leaving the US for Lisbon. Our tour was scheduled for noon after arriving in Lisbon. We had no time to reschedule or find an alternative. We had already purchased tickets to two sites we had planned to visit. Needless to say we were very disappointed. We will not be arranging any future tours with Tripadvisor /Viator.

Inês was such a wonderful tour guide! She was accommodating and made our trip very comfortable. The Pena Gardens are breathtaking! I highly recommend this tour to learn about the history of Sintra and experience the different castles.

Visiting Sintra is a must. I would highly recommend taking a tour and not trying to drive there yourself, the roads a narrow and steep, parking is changing to say the least. We book a tour with Ruben at the last minute at Easter, despite that, we were picked up on time and our designated location. Ruben is very knowledgeable and told us a lot of information that we would not otherwise get. He has in depth local knowledge and always happy to share all of the tricks and tips. I would highly recommend this tour.

When we got off the train at Sintra we were unsure on how exactly we would get around, we were thinking the hop on hop off bus or just the local public bus but then we met Ruben who made our short visit in Sintra very easy! We had limited time but he drove us to all the attractions we wanted to see, gave us maps and tips on where to go and what to see and we were not disappointed. He also took us to an amazing bakery for lunch, were the food was fantastic and so reasonable. Ruben had a wealth of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. We were a party of 6 adults and we all said how amazing the day was and that this was mainly due to the organisation and knowledge of our guide - thank you Ruben

Nous avons passé une journée mémorable en compagnie de notre guide Ruben. Il était très généreux et gentil! Il nous a tout expliqué l’histoire de chaque château en détail. Nous recommandons vraiment cette excursion, Sintra est un incontournable.

Hicimos un tour familiar con Rubén durante todo el día y fue todo muy muy bien, un chico súper agradable que nos explicó absolutamente todo lo necesario para conocer Sintra y sus castillos. Nos esperó todo el tiempo necesario en las visitas, nos recomendó lugares para comer y nos explicó la historia de Portugal de una manera muy amena. Sin duda un tour y un guía muy recomendable, os lo recomiendo muchísimo si queréis pasar un día agradable en Sintra y conocer todas sus curiosidades y lugares emblemáticos. Un 10!!
