Elisa was a wonderful tour guide! She was very willing to answer questions and very thorough with her explanations. Although the weather was very rainy, she helped make the most out of our tour. Loved that she took photos and made a video for me. Highly recommend!

We had a great day with Eduardo in Sintra and Cascais! He picked us up right on time and made us feel comfortable right off the bat. He started describing all the sights from the minute we started driving out of Lisbon.
When we got to the Pena Palace he had it all planned so we would be the first ones inside to avoid the crowds. This really made the experience better.
Eduardo was very knowledgeable about the relevant history as well as the itinerary and how to maximize the experience. He even took our lunch orders ahead of time so that the restaurant would be sure to have what we wanted.
Throughout the whole day Eduardo kept us informed and engaged. He also took great photos all day. Highly recommend this tour and Eduardo as a guide.

Eduardo was very fun, very chill and wanted us to have the best possible experience. We got to every place early so we always beat the crowds, he made sure our lunch order was in early so they wouldn’t run out of the more
popular items and his English was superb.

As a solo traveler, this tour was an absolute highlight of my trip! Brian was incredibly thoughtful and made sure we were the first ones inside the palace, allowing us to capture stunning photos without the usual crowds. He also pointed out the best photo spots along the way, which made a huge difference in the experience.
For lunch, Brian secured reservations at an amazing restaurant in Sintra, and every dish at our table was a hit. To top it all off, he surprised us with a fantastic digital parting gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. As someone traveling alone, I especially appreciated how Brian took incredible photos of me throughout the day—it made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Phenomenal tour today with Eduardo (Eddy) and two new friends. Our arrival times at the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira were strategically timed to avoid the lines and give us more time to explore. Eddie is extremely knowledgable about the history of the sights and made the tour both interesting and fun. Lunch was delicious! The drive back to Lisbon took us through beautiful coastal scenery, and we stopped frequently to enjoy the views. Best of all, Eddie kept us connected with a WhatsApp group and sent us all a photo collage at the end. Highly recommend! Thanks, Eddy!
