The ONLY way to see Sintra. Worth every penny. What a pleasant day! Our guide, João, was a gem. He was professional, courteous, and gracious. He taught us so much about the area and its history. He is a consummate professional, and it is clear that he loves his work. Our tour included the Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, and the Park and Palace of Monserrate. We were transported in a lovely Mercedes Benz van that was clean and comfortable. João also recommended a nice restaurant in the town, (Tasca Saloia) for lunch, and we were given plenty of time (1 1/2 hours) on our own to eat and walk around the shops. We highly recommend this tour!

John communicated effectively with us on WhatsApp. He was very warm and friendly despite it being a chilly rainy day which made the trip a wonderful experience. He was professional and personable.
We had the most fabulous trip from Lisbon to Porto with our amazing guide Susanna. She was so knowledgeable. She looked after our group so well. The whole experience will be so memorable.
Wonderful tour! Joao was incredibly knowlegeable and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour and guide!
Thank you for a lovely tour today! Nuno was an excellent guide— pleasant, funny, knowledgeable, extremely professional and accommodating. Nuno was able to make lunch reservations at a wonderful local restaurant—we were able to have a true Portuguese meal. The local wine was extremely smooth and relaxing. The staff at Toco do Julio was amazing, they answered all of our questions about the menu and local cuisine. Thank you again — even with the very rainy day he brought light and happiness to our tour! We made friends and memories today! I would highly recommend Nuno as a “must have” guide!!!!
Miguel the tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. Car was very comfortable and he was always concerned about our needs. Pena Palace, Monserrate and Quinta da Regaleira are amazing and having a guide is very helpful. PS. The grounds of Pena are so vast you could get lost, not an easy part to tour. The grounds ARE an integral part of Quinta and I think a guide is a must. Monserrate is an architectural beauty in itself. It also has grounds, but it seems that viewing them from a distance is sufficient.
We had a wonderful day touring Sintra with Jorge. He was knowledgeable and fun. We highly recommend!
Booked a last minute private tour for 4 people with Van Go Tours. Communication was excellent and prompt. They were flexible with our schedule and had a Mercedes van which was clean and comfortable. Their tour guide, Joao, was the best part of the tour. Another couple with us said they had taken the tour with another company and only learned a third of what our tour guide explained to us. Tour of Sentra and the other monuments was fantastic, steep with history and culture. We skipped the lines and the tour bus crowds as our tickets were included. Lunch was at the seaside village of Cascais in a delicious restaurant with the best desserts. Joao paced the tour for us perfectly. Highly recommend using Van Go!
Excellent Tour incredible places, the guide Nuno Moura EXCELLENT GUIDE, explains the history of each place with a lot of experience and is pleasant, an expert in history, kind and fun, I highly recommend him, very comfortable and clean transportation GREAT EXPERIENCE getting to know Portugal
