We had a great day and our guide Andre was absolutely outstanding. He made us feel welcome and had a laugh with us the whole day. We are a bunch of eclectic Scottish people and Albanian/ Italian. I would thoroughly recommend this tour best value for money. 😁😁💃🏻

Diogo was very professional, knowledgeable and funny. We really enjoyed the tour to Sintra and Caiscais.
Pedro Franco was our guide and he provided us with a top notch experience. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and provided us with lots of history and personal knowledge about the area. Highly recommend!
A tremendous day! Pedro was considerate and professional with our language diversity. His stories and explanations were great and made the tour so good!!
Fabulous trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Cintra and Pena palace are incredible, they must be seen to be believed!. The wine tasting was interesting and tasty and the other sites along the way were all added bonuses. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely wonderful day out, Carlos was knowledgeable and friendly I would highly recommend. If offered lunch at restaurant do go it was fantastic. The palace is stunning and the winery hugely impressive
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Tour with the Best Guide, Diego! We had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour! The itinerary was perfectly planned, covering beautiful sights with plenty of time to enjoy each stop. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Diego. Diego is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. He shared fascinating historical and cultural insights in a way that was both entertaining and easy to follow. Beyond his expertise, he was super friendly, patient, and attentive to everyone in the group, making sure we all felt comfortable and had a great time. It felt less like a standard tour and more like exploring with a brilliant local friend who genuinely cares about showing you the best of the region. If you're lucky enough to get Diego as your guide, you're in for a treat. Highly recommended!
The multi-lingual Sofia Martez, has entertained us with a historical agenda, good humour, an informed local knowledge, and is an all round good egg. A very good day out.
Sofia was great Really informative Let us enjoy ourselves and didn’t pressure for time which was great Highly recommend
We had an amazing day tour in Sintra Portugal, including a wonderful wine tasting experience ! Was beautiful, everything was well organised. Andre our guide made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We had such a fantastic day and would highly recommend this tour 🇵🇹✨
Andre took us to Pena Castle today and was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and was also lots of fun, he also joined us for lunch and took part in having banter with us. We had a good length of time at all of our stops and we did not feel rushed.
Andre is a great guide and took us on a fantastic tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful time.
Highly recommend this tour. Just the right amount of time given for sightseeing, touring, eating, vineyard! Dyego was very knowledgeable, kind, patient, accommodating and fun! Great guide to request!
Very good, Dyego did a great job.
He was very well informed about everything discoursed. Very nice guy as well.
I had an amazing time on the wine tour to Sintra. Our tour guide Pedro was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. This tour is definitely worth booking.
We were able to see many different areas, including a fantastic wine tour, visit to the lighthouse and some time for shopping and lunch. Ending at the castle with incredible views. Admission fees were very reasonable. Our travel guide, Andre was extremely knowledgeable. He took time to give us the history of everything we saw.
We had an amazing day exploring Portugal on a day tour. Our tour guide Andre was extremely nice and very knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time with him on our tour. Andre was our best tour guide!!
Andre was fantastic! Very knowledgeable
Raphael was absolutely incredible. From the moment the tour started, he brought everything to life with so much detail, passion, and knowledge. His personality made the entire experience fun, comfortable, and genuinely memorable, he’s just a good person through and through. I wouldn’t be surprised if he started his own tour company someday because he’s that good. If you’re visiting, you HAVE to go see him. Book a tour with Raphael, you won’t regret it.
Diego gave us special attention on our private tour. We went to a boutique winery, saw beautiful country side, visited the Pena Palace, wandered around Caicais, had a delicious tapas lunch in Sintra and enjoyed the piriquita pastry. The trip couldn’t have been better!
Diogo was our tour guide. He was such a great tour guide because he shared so much history of Portugal with us so we understood what we were seeing. We had a fabulous wine tour. Lunch was delicious. The Pena Palace was very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great chance to see Sintra and the castle. Our guide Guilherme was incredibly knowledge and willing to answer questions about Portugal beyond what we saw in the tour. We used living tours in Porto as well and we’re very happy overall with both experiences.
The tour to Sintra and Cabo da Roca was very good, but I wouldn’t recommend doing it with the winery visit. I would have preferred to visit Boca do Inferno instead. The stop in Cascais is also very short. The highlight of the tour was our guide, José Melicias, who, with so much love and enthusiasm for the history of his country, takes us on a journey through time and fills us with knowledge.
Jose was a kind and knowledgeable guide. He is a wealth of information and was very attentive to our comfort throughout the day. The walk to Pena Palace was steep and long but Jose was quite patient and encouraged rest stops all along. The small group is perfect for this trip. Highly recommend.
I loved the experience, the guide Mário was excellent from begging to end.
Mário was a great guide, the tour is beautiful!!
Sofia is a knowledgeable incredible guide. The best!!! We had an incredible day that was the perfect mix of learning and fun and relaxation all accompanied with stellar planning that was all low stress for us so that we can just enjoy our time.
We enjoyed our day. Our tour guide Jose' was very knowledgeable and made our tour great with his experience, stories and best places to visit . Would definitely recommend this tour.
Booked with ease, clear instructions, and very kind employees. Special thank you to Thomas for taking our experience to the next level with his amazing personality and humor.
I really enjoyed the tour with Gus; I especially appreciated patience with us while climbing the hills in Sintra. I also liked learning about Ferdinand and the design of the castle. The views were beautiful.
Gus (the bus driver) very enthusiastic tour guide. Very informative and entertaining.
Gus our tour guide was fantastic! Fun, informative,knowledgeable, we had the best day and was sad it ended!!
Great to by pass the lines in Santa
I had so much fun on the “Gus bus!” Gustavo was very knowledgeable and moved all the stops at a manageable pace. Also, his recommendations were wonderful. I would go on a tour with him again.
Best day!! Gus was extremely knowledgeable, laid back and fun. Would highly recommend. #gusbus
Pedro was a knowledgeable and professional host that provided excellent service.
Guilherme was an amazing guide! We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this tour.
Excellent tour. The guide Guilherme was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic!
Wonderful guided tour with Gustavo. He was fun and knowledgeable! Only 7 people made for a fast paced friendly day. In Gus we trust!
Diogo was the best guide, very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and every spot we stopped at. Highly recommended!
An absolutely brilliant tour guide and trip! Catrina's knowledge of the local culture, history, and people really brought everything to life. But what stood out most was her genuine warmth and ability to connect with everyone in our small group. She created such an amazing vibe, making us feel comfortable, engaged, and connected from the very beginning. The trip provides a good mix of education, relaxation and enjoyment through the wine-tasting. Highly recommend!
Catarina was our guide and she was amazing! She is very knowledgeable and fun. The tour itself was great, but is kind of long, be sure to plan for 10ish hours.
Helio was amazing. You can tell he is really passionate about history and portugal. He is funny, entertaining and knowledgeable! Our trip was fantastic and smooth.
Had a great day checking out the sites of Sintra with old and new friends on the Gus Bus.
Gus was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I highly recommend Gus and this tour.
Gus!!! Best guide ever! We had such a wonderful day exploring Sintra with him. Gus was absolutely fantastic - warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought the history and beauty of Sintra to life with fascinating stories, local insights, and plenty of laughs along the way. He made the whole day feel relaxed, personal, and effortless, while still making sure we saw and experienced the highlights. We genuinely loved every minute of the tour and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re visiting Sintra, we highly recommend booking with Gus - you’ll be in great hands and will come away with wonderful memories. We’d happily do it all over again!
This tour was excellent!! We were lucky enough to be put on the Gus-Bus. Gus’s knowledge of the history of Portugal and the Peña Palace and the Sintra area was outstanding. An awesome day with an awesome guide. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m not a “tour” person but Gus made the day so enjoyable. He was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. It was truly the best day. Highly recommend.
