Had a great tour of Sintra today with Pedro as my guide! He shared so much history about Portugal and his pride in his country was refreshing. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful day all around Sintra and Caiscais. Our driver Andre was always on time and flexible for our experience. Definitely recommend 👌
Had an incredible time with Andre touring the Pena Palace and Regaleirra as well as a lunch stop in Cascais. He personalized the tour to our wants/needs and was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as Portugal in general. Would recommend to anyone!
We had a great tour with Andre! Great historian! He allowed us to customize our tour a little, spent more time in Cascais and had lunch. Very nice man and great day tour. One of the highlights of our trip to Lisbon!
We had a great day, we saw a lot of beautiful places. Quinta Regaleira is masterpiece, Cabo da Roca speachless🤩 Andre is a perfect guide and he gave us a lot of info’s and time to enjoy and make photos👏
Andre was very informative, friendly. His English is perfect. The day was just the right length.
It was a great experience. A must see places! Our guide was a very nice and knowledgeable person.
Have a good time in Sintra one day trip. I recommend if everyone want to book the trip and want have a good experience book in this company and i recommend guide name pete he very good guide and you will know historisch in Sintra very well.
Pedro was an informative, entertaining guide on our tour today. We also got plenty of time to explore the Sintra area ourselves so it didnt feel rushed at all.
It was a great experience. The tour guide was a very kind and funny guy. He showed us many great places and told us some really interesting stories.
I loved the trip. We saw so much in just one day. You’ll be lucky if you go with Catarina Palma as your guide. She’s full of energy and information, she took great care of us. And the speed she could switch from Portuguese to English and Spanish was admirable. She gave me great recommendations for things I needed and huge amout of information.
Enjoyed the history and tour guides were energetic and knowledgeable.
Pedro was excellent! Very informative on the history, and helped you fall in love with Portugal! Would highly recommend
Diogo was absolutely amazing as a tour guide (and human!) and our family had the most incredible tour day. We loved hearing all about Portugal’s history and we soaked in all the architectural and historical details of our two stops in Sintra: Regaleira and Pena Palace. We received timed tickets in both locations and were able to explore at our own pace, while enriched by the many historical and architectural details pointed out by our very knowledgeable and passionate guide, Diogo. We would highly recommend this tour experience to a magical area!
We did our tour with Diogo and he was fantastic. His knowledge of history as well as the local area enhanced our tour experience.
It was a nice and beautiful day. Great pace and good story teller.
Excellent trip highly recommend for anyone who loves castles, beautiful gardens and history. We had Diogo as our tour guide who was amazing, it makes your trip when you have someone who is very passionate about what they know and wishes to share the knowledge and beauty of their country with you. If you do this tour and get this guide you are in for a brilliant experience 👍
José was our guide, and my goodness was he excellent. My husband and I love to go on a guided tour whenever we visit someplace new, and we felt so lucky to have a guide who is not only knowledgeable but most importantly passionate about the info. He was so fervent when presenting knowledge throughout Quinta da Regaleira. My husband and I were both glad we chose to go with a guide because otherwise, we would have been overwhelmed with how large this place is and how much it offers. Really a “choose your own adventure” type of situation. So thankfully José had mapped out a strategic route throughout the palace grounds that left us feeling satisfied and filled. If you ever have a choice in the matter, ask for José as your guide!
Very comprehensive experience of Sintra. Amazing energy, good pace; and a very in depth and entertaining lesson on the history of Portugal and how it all links together.
Very fun experience overall. Saw some interesting stuff and beautiful places and the guide was super friendly and informative, he made sure everyone felt included and comfortable.
Our guide Sophia was exceptional and extremely knowledgeable about each aspect of our tour. We learned so much! I would highly recommend this company and specifically Sophia
We had an amazing day exploring Sintra with Guide Pedro. He was extremely friendly and took time explaining the history of the attractions we were visiting. He also entertained us throughout the drive with interesting tidbits about Portugal.
Jose was the perfect guide for Sintra. His knowledge and passion for the region, its history and culture were immeasurable. He is an asset to the organisation and one that should be highly regarded for his dedication and devotion to Portugal.
Diogo was exceptional! Our party of four had fun and learned a lot about beautiful Lisbon. I'd recommend him for a great experience.
Sofia was wonderful. She was informative and fun. And she watched out for people’s special needs. I recommend this trip with Sofia
Gus bus was wonderful experience.
Incredible experience, very clear communication
My mother and I booked a tour to Sintra with Living Tours Lisboa and we were warmly welcomed at the agency by friendly staff who provided clear and helpful explanations. We were picked up directly at our hotel and our guide Carlos showed us all the beautiful spots in Sintra and the surrounding area. He spoke with great enthusiasm about the history of each place and shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. To finish the day, we enjoyed a lovely meal, making the whole experience absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend this!
A very nice tour with a very nice guide, Diego. Thank you. Highly recommended.
Great experience, our guide was very knowledgeable and kind
What a nice visit of sintra! Dyego was an amazing guide highly recommend
Raphiel was a fantastic guide! He was very kind and informative.
Dyego was absolutely wonderful. He’s got such a wealth of knowledge, and goes the extra mile to make sure you have the best time possible. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to get a fun but also informative tour :)
Within our 4-Hour tour we learnt the whole history about Portugal through time. Gustavo our guide was absolutely amazing. His knowledge was second to none answering any questions we had along the way. With a very casual approach it made it a really fun and chilled afternoon out exploring what this beautiful country has to offer. Highly recommend, worth every penny!
This experience was really cool. Since it was a small group it was more of a personalized experience. The guide Pedro Franco was really nice, he took the time to talk about the history and to answer every little question we had. He was in charge of everything, the entrance, the tickets. Everything was perfect. He arrived in time, the visit was like 4-5 hours without any rush. Amazon experience, totally recommended!
We highly recommend Pedro, he’s a very nice person and we enjoyed a lot our trip with him to Sintra and regaleira, he explained us a lot about this place and its surroundings. His customer service is impressive.
Pedro was a wonderful tour guide! He was knowledgeable about Portugal’s history and explained what were we’re seeing and the history behind everything we saw. He is enthusiastic, loves his job and it reflects in everything he says and does. He is tri-lingual (i.e., Spanish, English and of course, his native language, Portuguese). We had Americans, Italians and Brazilians in our tour and he spoke in English and Spanish so all of us understood what he was saying. Pedro is friendly, upbeat, courteous and a joy to be around. Book with this company and ask for Pedro. You cannot go wrong!
Our tour with Pedro was fantastic and we learned so much! We did the 5-hour tour but we really wish we did one of the full day tours (because Sintra area deserves two days and because we enjoyed Pedro so much). We visited the Sintra Palace (not Peña!) and the Regaleira and the Sintra town. Had great views of the Moorish castle and the Peña palace. Would definitely recommend this tour if you don’t have much time but would recommend you do one of their full day tours if possible!
It was a very good trip! We have been to Sintra during a 4 hours trip by private bus. With Sofia as the best guide ! Just book it, its great to do!
Be prepared with your own research. They stop on pre arranged restaurants. Where they abused tourists overcharging. No really a good company.
Sofia was a fantastic guide! We had beautiful weather and the tour went smoothly. Learned a lot and saw beautiful architecture. Stopped for some local treats at the end.
Little disappointed only seeing one castle when we arrived booking was for following day but it did get rectified to that day. Lots of waiting around and walking.
Good experience, as always i didn’t read well and though we would enter in the Pena Palace but this tour in particular only includes Sintra Village and getting inside the Regaleira. Pedro was a great guide and he brought us to a secret place to enjoy Pena Palace at the distance. I would love to spend more free time in Sintra, maybe an hour?
Cute tour , our guide Gustavo was amazing :) . I like that it started mid day . Nice for pictures and the experience. You also get a nice drive
We did the short tour to Sintra with our lovely guide Nuno Gomez. He gave some interresting facts and along the way and helped us skip the line when it got to crowdy (also important 😜).
Fantastic tour given by Dyego! His knowledge and instructions were insightful, a great way to spend half a day, would definitely recommend!
We had a fabulous guide Pedro! He gave us a wealth of information about the area and the history. The tour was very nice!! Beautiful areas and a wonderful experience that will be remembered for years.
We loved our Spanish-speaking guide, Sofía Maltez. She's an excellent guide. Very friendly and fun, but also very professional. She knew how to answer any question. She's also a good driver.
Tour - to Sintra from Lisbon Tour Guide - Sofia Mattez My partner and I went on a tour with Sofia yesterday to Sintra, to see the famous well and grounds. From the moment we set off in Lisbon we learned lots of history about the city itself, as well as the surrounding areas as we got closer to Sintra. Sofia knew everything there was to know and our day was smooth, relaxing and informative. It was lovely to have a tour guide that has so much love for the area and we would reccomend her to anyone.
