My wife and I had an amazing time exploring Pena Palace and other gems near Lisbon with Agenor Junior! He is a highly knowledgeable, professional guide and a great storyteller. The private format was perfect for us—it felt like touring with an old friend who knew everything about Portugal's past and present. Communication before the trip was seamless, and Agenor answered all of our questions. He even volunteered to take photos of us at every stop, leaving us with a beautiful collection of over 50 pictures. We are incredibly grateful to Agenor for making our trip unforgettable and showing us the beauty and hospitality of Portugal!

This is the absolute BEST tour we have ever taken! Junior was a truly phenomenal guide. He truly made our stay in Lisbon and our visit to the beautiful sights of Boca do Inferno, Sintra, Cascais, Cabo do Roco, Azenhas do Mar and Pena Palace, extra special. There are so.many special little touches that made our tour wonderful. Since it is a private tour, it was just myself and my husband. Junior picked us up right from our hotel and had water available for us. On the drive, we truly appreciated that he shared the fascinating history of Portugal and the history and interesting facts about all of the lovely places he took us to. We made so many beautiful stops. At each place we stopped, Junior took wondeful pictures of us together , which he sent us at the end of the day. It was an incredible tour, and Junior was very knowledgeable and kind!! I strongly recommend this tour! It is such excellent value with a kind, wonderful and very knowledgeable guide!!

Junior was an excellent guide, he texted me when i cancelled the tour (bcoz my child was reflected as an infant so i cancelled and rebooked), and when he realised its a kid not an infant, he even brought along a booster seat, without me even requesting! He even offered to pick us up from the hotel because we were the only ones who signed up for the tour that day, also adjusted the time to better suit my kid. He was our first real guide who told us about the history of the area, which led us to appreciate the tour a lot more! He walked with us the whole way up and down the Palace, drove a little detour to let us see Belem when he heard we wouldnt be seeing it, took us to the best viewpoints, used his camera to take great pictures of us(of which he promptly sent me the next day), even knelt down to take better pictures of us multiple times! I cannot tell u how we appreciate Junior, he was respectful, responsive and polite, yet also professional and did his job well! Im very glad we signed up for the tour and feel very blessed it became a private tour just for us, coz we got him all to ourselves and had a very enjoyable day! Also note that this was the only tour ive seen that also includes Azenhas Sea which is amazing to me, you should also try the cafe Junior recommended for homemade food, their cod fish fried rice was awesome, their staff even more awesome!
Junior is an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and passionate. Thank you for making this trip so memorable and enjoyable.
Was a wonderful experience. The drive was beautiful and very safe. Was able to see the wonders of the country side and the beautiful seaside of Portugal. The palace in Sintra was was fantastic and pace set by our guide was set to my physical ability
We had an amazing tour of Sintra and Cascais with Junior as our guide. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Junior shared fascinating history and insights while keeping the tour engaging and well-paced. My partner and I truly enjoyed ourselves, and we especially appreciated the great recommendations he gave us for other places to visit during our stay in Lisbon. Highly recommend Junior if you’re looking for a guide who is professional, friendly, and passionate about Portugal!
Such a fun inclusive day! We were able to do so much in a single day and ride in comfort to all the sights! We got lucky and ended up being the only ones on the tour. Agenor was so friendly and knowledgeable and even picked us up and dropped us off right at our Airbnb. We had a wonderful day and would recommend this tour to anyone who’d like to take the guesswork of planning and reading out of their day and just see beautiful things and Enjoy!
This day trip out of Lisbon took us on a wonderful journey of discovery as far as the westernmost point of the Portuguese coast. We visited Boca do Inferno, the beautiful town centre of Cascais, enjoyed breathtaking views of the sea, the historic town centre of Sintra, Castelo dos Mouros, the park and the National Palace of Pena. Junior was an incredibly courteous and expert guide. With his vast knowledge, which he conveyed with great humour, he made the day trip something very special for us. Thank you very much!
Agenor and his wife are the best! I was the only one on the tour and it was a great time. They explained a lot about Portugal history and the landmarks we passed. We went to all the landmarks and had time to explore alone in the villages as well!
We had a wonderful trip. Agenor our guide was very knowledgeable and was very well versed in Portuguese history. He had pre-arranged all the required tickets for us. It was a memorable day. Thanks
Agenor was a wonderful guide! He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, provided wonderful history of the various sites and made sure to catch all the best photos of us to then make a video. We highly recommend!
I had a great experience! My guide was super knowledgeable and kind. He explained everything and was attentive to my needs. The tour itself it beautiful and a must if you’re around Lisbon!
First, the guide welcomed us very well, a trip with beautiful scenery, and explanations of the locations, in Cascais, we did a walking tour of the village. And the beach, I found the cost-benefit very good, they are great for the service
A very good experience, we love the accompaniment of all the route indicated with Mr Agenor, super attentive, friendly, polite. He told us the stories of the locals. We saw the palace of the pen in Sintra, Cape of the Rock, mouth of hell amazing places to know and also have this experience with family or friends. Thanks for everything
The vehicle we used was great and the guide explained the history of Sintra very well. Not only was the guide very polite and careful and took some great photos.
Walking through the mouth of hell, seeing the charming Palacio da Pena and exploring the various beaches of the area was an unforgettable experience. Each place had its own energy, from the stunning force of the sea hitting the rocks to the almost surreal magic of the palace on top of the mountain. But what really made all the difference was having Agenor as a guide. Extremely punctual, organized and, above all, passionate about what he does, he managed to turn every stop into something much more special. It wasn’t just a walk, it was like traveling in time through the stories he told, always with detail, enthusiasm and an impressive knowledge. The way he explained each point aroused even more curiosity, gave the desire to stay there for hours just listening. Without a doubt, it was of those experiences in which the guide not only accompanies, but completely elevates the tour.
The day was wonderful, the vehicle very clean and comfortable, the guide very experienced and attentive, we were very satisfied super recommend.
An excellent experience where the attention to the details, gentleness of Mr. Agenor and the dedication to offering the best that Portugal can provide, made the big difference of continuing to be a loyal customer every time you visit the country.
The day passed quickly, so good it was, we didn't see the time pass! Sintra is wonderful! The palaces are amazing! The company was perfect from beginning to end! Congratulations Portugal is amazing!
Excellent! Brazilian guide with extensive knowledge of Portuguese history, and always ready to please the tourist. We made the complete tour in a comfortable vehicle, knowing wonderful places, with amazing views. Inside the Pena Palace, he gave a full history lesson telling all the details of the family who built the castle. A wonderful experience!
We had an amazing experience with the agency! The staff was attentive, organized and always concerned to offer the best. The tours were well planned, safe and full of unforgettable moments. I recommend without hesitation!
All perfect! From the beginning to the end! Great vehicle, driver, guide, landscape, climate! Couldn't be better! The selected locations are beautiful! Parabéns Galo Tour! Parabéns Lisboa! Congratulations to Portugal!
From the first contact to the end of the tour, the agency exceeded all my expectations. The staff was extremely attentive, organized and always concerned about the comfort of the travellers. The guides demonstrated deep knowledge about the history, culture and curiosities of each place, in addition to a contagious sympathy that made the tour even more special. I recommend with closed eyes for those who want to know Portugal in a unique, light and unforgettable way!
Everything went perfectly, from beginning to end. Organization, punctuality and sympathy made all the difference. It was an experience that exceeded expectations and I would definitely recommend to any Cover who wants to enjoy their time in Portugal.
We had a simply amazing experience! The service was impeccable from start to finish — always attentive, quick to answer and ready to help with every detail of the journey. The entire program was organized very carefully, offering suggestions that matched perfectly with our profile and expectations.
All impeccable! Made with a lot of affection, dedication and attention! I recommend 100% and will definitely come back to make new tours with the Galo Tour. Thank you for everything!
I took the Sintra tour with my family and it was a fantastic experience. Agenor told us a bit of the history of each place we passed, which made everything more interesting. Me and my family will be very happy to indicate you to our acquaintances, and we intend to repeat one day Thank you!!
Amazing, I went with my mom and dad. We did a tour with the same. And I recommend, super friendly. Perfect driver, drives calmly.
Agenor is an excellent driver and a tourist guide. And the second tour I do with him. Quiet, explains everything in detail about the places, speaks fluent English and knows how to take wonderful photos, there is water available at all times. All I have to do is thank you. You can trust.
I already made this car script earlier, but this time we took advantage of much more, having contracted the tour. The staff very attentive. We passed by beautiful places, all very well thought out to provide us with an amazing visit.
The tour of Sintra and Cascais was simply wonderful, and much of it is due to the attention and professionalism of our guides. We would like to express our deepest gratitude for making this experience so special.
The landscapes are beautiful and the places I visited were hand-picked. I loved every corner I saw on this tour! I got the recommendation through a friend and the guide was excellent, with deep knowledge about the culture and history. I have known restaurants and places different from conventional and tourist. I recommend 100%.
We know the Galo Tour by reference from friends. Our family made the tour to Sintra and we loved it! Galo Tour staff taught us a lot about the history of Portugal, they made the tour even more interesting! I recommend!
We did the tour in 2 couples, it was charming, unforgettable! Cascais is beautiful! We were shown the most interesting and beautiful places. Even we were indicated a restaurant that we love and a candy that we want to return. The guide is very attentive and knows what we Brazilians like. We were given tips including from Lisbon shopping and restaurants. Indicate! And on our next trip we want to recruit Mr. Agenor, from Galo to accompany us in Lisbon. Thank you for so much love!
