For this price, I would expect more information and history. This I Was more of a private driver hired to take you around. The tours inside the different cities are not included. You are left to figure things out on your own. Better if I did a group tour
There are not words to express our happiness, and gratitude for the most amazing day that Cesar gave to us. He arrived promptly, with a beautiful, immaculate car and as we drove to Sintra he explained the history of Portugal to us. We arrived in Sintra before the crowds, and he sent us off with recommendations and tips to make our time as perfect as possible. We continued on, and as we did we truly felt that we gained a friend that day. Cesar is someone who we would gladly open our home to anytime, he has so genuine, and so passionate about his home, his work, and ensuring that we had the best experience possible. Our time in Cascais was so wonderful, that we returned the next day. Cesar also took the time to send us an extensive list of his personal recommendations for restaurants and other sites to visit, which was such a nice personal touch. I highly, highly recommend, and urge you to book this private day tour, as it was certainly a highlight of our two week trip. We could not stop talking about what a wonderful, and memorable time Cesar provided us, and we cannot thank him enough!
We had an amazing time with Pedro and would highly recommend booking this tour. Pedro was so knowledgeable about Lisbon and answered all of our questions. If you’re looking for a fun time visiting Sintra and the beautiful coastline then this is the tour for you.
Amazing tour with knowledgeable guide. Cesar was very friendly, entertaining and efficient. Please book in advance as this tour gets easily booked up. Thank you RM Cesar for an incredible day!
I recommend this tour. Very well organized. César is a very kind, professional guide with a great knowledge of Portuguese history and culture. A private tour with an impeccable car. It was a wonderful day, the best way to visit Sintra and Cascais is without a doubt with RM CESAR. Thank you very much for the excellent day.
Trip was cancelled the day before we were scheduled to go on the tour. It was too late to make alternate plans by the time we saw the email.
We had a safe and comfortable ride while listening to the talk about local history and culture. We got a great recommendation for lunch as well as more information about the countryside. It was a wonderful day. We loved Sintra. Thank you
Highly recommended activity to experience the best of Sintra and Cascais in 1 day in luxury and peace of mind. Caesar was more than just a chauffeur/guide, he was a proud ambassador of Portugal who made us seriously plan another trip back to Portugal soon. His passion and devotion to ensuring we enjoyed the trip is unparalleled to any I’ve seen before. We had such an amazing time the whole day with his company. Thank you Caesar
We had an amazing day with CesaR! He was always punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable and informative of the country and tour sites. He effortlessly had our tour planned whereas we were at least 15 to 30 minutes ahead of the crowds and gained access to the sites with the least amount of walking. He is truly an amazing tour guide! Additionally, he added a stop at the end of our day, and made a few inquires on our behalf without concern. Thank you CesaR for a wonderful day. We hope to return to Lisbon one day, and we will definitely reach out!
This tour to Sintra and Cascaids anf Cabo de Roca was wonderful. The tour company RM Cesar was the perfect one. They sent a beautiful Mercedes E class and a knowleageable driver, Christina, who was wonderful. Christina shared a lot of great details about each visit. They arrived early and ensure the tour went as planned. Thank you!
From start to finish, the attention to detail, professionalism and communication from this company was fantastic. Cristina was our guide and she was great in every way - highly recommended. Pick up and drop offs were smooth and informative. I would absolutely recommend doing a private tour with Cesar’s company as opposed to taking a group bus tour. The attention and care that this company puts into its business is unparalleled and worth it!
This was our first time taking a private tour. The price was reasonable and the experience was priceless! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting these amazing sites and were able to get to places that a large bus would not. Cristina was a wonderful guide and shared her love for Portugal with us. I highly recommend RM Cesar tours and would absolutely use them again.
Cesar doesn't just show Portugal. It's a journey of historic knowledge, in front of your eyes, in your hands, and ahead of the crowds.
Joao was wonderful. Very good tour organization with good communication. He really took the time to share his knowledge and perspective of the area and was great at ensuring we got the most benefit from our time in Sintra. He was flexible and figured out what we wanted and went out of his way to provide. Loved the beaches, amazing lunch with grilled sea bass and Sintra tour and sites were amazing. Must do tour!
Thoroughly recommend RM Cesar tours. We had a brilliant day with Cristina who could not have been more helpful. The tour included a comfortable Mercedes vehicle and the flexibility to adapt to our personal preferences. Great itinerary which included all the places we wanted to see.
We had a great trip to Sintra and Cascais. Cesar was a wonderful, informative, and very personable guide. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the areas we visited -- we learned a lot! -- but he also shared perspectives on contemporary Portugal and his life. It was terrific to get to know to know him and to get close up views of current culture and issues.
Am amazing tour with a wonderful guide We enjoyed our tour thoroughly. Very good value for our money. Caesar is charming , knowledgeable, and very professional. We highly recommend this tour.
What a wonderful day with João! Don’t hesitate to book. He truly wants you to have a perfect day and we did! We will definitely be back!!!
1) Mr Cesar arrived 10 minutes early. 2) The car was clean and very stylish. 3) Wonderful historical information that added real perspective to our day touring. Honest and not cheesy. 4) Followed up with several very good suggestions for amazing food. Especially liked the steak cooked on a hot stone!
César gave us an excellent tour. We stayed ahead of the crowds and had enough time to hit all the places we wanted to see at a leisurely pace. He fit in breaks and lunch at great places. We enjoyed all the story telling on the drive. For Peña Palace, I would recommend getting the tour guide app when getting tickets if you want extra information and download it before you get to the location cos WiFi might be spotty. Also bring a jacket cos it’s high up the mountain and can we windy!
Great experience. Great guide, Cristina was very organized and helpful that presented amazing places from Portugal! Thank you, highly recommend them!
Our day in Sintra, Cascais and Quinta Regaleira couldn’t have been better planned! Cesar ushered us from spot to spot in comfort with a schedule that put us a step before the crowds all through the day. And all the while kept us entertained with historical and personal anecdotes which really allowed us to learn more about the Portuguese culture. It’s a pleasure to spend the day with someone who’s passionate about what they do. I’d recommend this tour with Cesar to anyone! Thank you for wonderful Portugal experience!
Despite bad weather and very tough hike, Cesar went out of his way to show us the best of both places - Sintra and Cascais. Very knowledgeable, intelligent and friendly tour guide. Highly recommend him and his company! Alexandra
We really engaged Ricardo. He answered many questions willingly and helped our daughter practice her Spanish. We enjoyed the palace of Peña and seeing the other sights. I would have appreciated more clarity prior to the trip as to what to expect.
We had the most amazing half day Sintra and CaisCas Tour with Pedro as our guide, via RM Cesar Tours. He was expert and knowledgeable but more importantly he was a lovely genuine guy who really made us feel welcomed and looked after. I was travelling with my mother, who has some mobility issues, abs Pedro made sure that she was comfortable for the trip. The car was very comfortable and although we could only do a half day tour, Pedro was able to help us make the most of it. Thanks so much RM Cesar and Pedro for making it such a memorable tour and I would highly recommend this company.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Sintra tour. We can’t say enough about RM- his kind, professional personality, his breadth of knowledge and love of Portugal. He made us feel relaxed and comfortable (the luxury car was comfortable too!) and my husband and I had a wonderful day with him. We highly recommend him for any tour he offers!
Our private guide Cesar was a true professional. From advising us to purchase our ticket to Peña Palace a day before our trip to being extremely polite. He was full of knowledge and pride about Lisbon. He took us to an amazing seafood restaurant right on the beautiful coast. Our trip was a must do when visiting Lisbon.
João was such a great tour guide we hire him for this adventure. You will mot find a nicer, knowledgeable, friendly tour guide in Lisbon..
A wondeful tour and our favorit was the Pena Palace. Our guide made the day perfekt with a lot of history about the places we visited.
Knowledgeable guide, dressed up nicely in his black jaguar right on time. He knows his timing when to arrive the tourists area before others pouring. Great restaurant recommendation. We enjoyed the trip. Courteous accommodating and good manner. Thank you!
The whole tour was very well organized and nothing was missing. We were very well looked after. It was so interesting to hear all about the history of Portugal, its people of those times, Palaces and buildings and the fisher villages and our private guide showed us the most beautiful spots on the way to Sintra and back to Lisboa. I can highly recomend this tour!
We were in Lisbon for six full days last week. Considered taking the train or bus to Sinatra but felt precious time would be lost making transfers and walking from place to place. We hired private driver Cesar one day and had time to visit the Peña palace, the town of Sinatra and Quinta de Regaleira. Our guide picked us up at our apartment in Lisbon at 8:20 in the morning. The drive to the Peña palace took about 40 minutes, while our guide explained the history of the city and palaces. After visiting the two palaces and the town of Sinatra, We left Sinatra around 2:00 pm and were driven to a beach front restaurant near Cascais for lunch. We finished with a drive back to Lisbon along the coast. The palaces are very busy now so I suggest you arrive as early as possible and buy tickets to the palaces in advance. I highly recommend R.M. Ceasar tours. He was waiting for us at the exit of every stop and kept us on track to make the most of our day.
The communication from RM Caesar was very responsive and allowed us to tailor the tour exactly as we wanted it. Our tour guide João was highly knowledgeable about the history of Portugal, Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais and throughout the tour gave us plenty of useful factoids about the area we were travelling with. Overall, the organisation, communication and experience with the guide were top-notch - highly recommend.
We had an excellent time with Pedro. He was very flexible and thoughtful. During the drive he went out of his way to show us interesting places and landmarks. He even went over the time we booked him so we could see the ocean on our drive back.
Our tour guide (João) was highly knowledgeable about the history of Portugal, Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais and throughout the tour gave us plenty of useful factoids about the area we were travelling with. Alongside that I found him very personable and friendly, a down-to-earth guy that we really enjoyed conversing with. He even helped us with issues we were having with our accommodation, which were not related to the tour but still, it gave us useful insight. The communication from RM Caesar was very responsive and allowed us to tailor the tour exactly as we wanted it. The pickup was exactly at the time specified, the tour guide was a professional. Overall, the organisation, communication and experience with the guide were top-notch - highly recommend.
Joaquim our driver was punctual, knowledgeable and just a pleasant person to hang out with for the whole afternoon. And above all he was a very careful driver which was pretty important for us. When I’ll get back to Portugal I’ll book another ride with this company to a new site
Great guide, very flexible with the schedule based on the queue at the attractions. Our guide helped to plan the rest of our holidays by suggesting places to visit and where to eat. Highly recommend.
Fantastic Experience, would highly recommend. Was taken around all over the Sintra area and given many interesting stories about the surrounding culture. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip.
It was a picture perfect day with the most amazing guide, Cesar- who makes you feel like royalty. He was accommodating as we wanted to see both palaces- Peña and Quinta da Regaleira. He picked us up earlier to make that happen, so that we would avoid the long tourist lines at Peña. (Fortunately April isn’t quite as busy as summer season) He shared a lot of relevant and fascinating history and made our trip more enjoyable- he’s as delightful as he is professional! We thoroughly enjoyed our stop in historic Sintra, our delicious lunch, visit to Capo da Roco and drive through Cascais. We couldn’t have packed in more! I highly recommend Cesar and his luxury tour.
We had a great day with our tour guide Ceasar. We were picked up from our Lisbon apartment and had a full day visiting sites in Sintra, Peña palace, Cascais and others. Ceasar was friendly and full of knowledge and provided a great host for the day.
Our guide João was excellent and very knowledgeable. He gave us a great tour and we had a great experience in Portugal and recommend to folks who want a tour outside of Lisbon or adjacent areas.
Cesar was extremely organized, communicative, and hospitable. He picked me and my partner up promptly from our hostel, and gave us a fantastic full day of sightseeing and history. He's very flexible and can adjust the tour based on what you are most interested in. We never felt rushed, and we got to see Pena Palace before any of the crowds arrived! This was a fantastic way to see Sintra, and the coastline!
We had an excellent day trip thanks to Cesar our professional private guide. Everything were well communicated through WhatsApp beforehand. Cesar is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He is very proud of his country and love showing us the best of it. We are a family of 5 with old and young. We love taking our time but were never rushed. Cesar is very organised and planned the trip well to make sure we didn't miss anything we asked for. The lunch place he recommended was the best meal we had in portugal. The next time we are back to Lisbon we will sure join Cesar again. If you are looking for private tour definitely go with RM Cesar. Just make sure you let him know what you are looking for, then he will tailor make a perfect trip for you.
Cesar turned up on time , (in fact early) in an immaculate car. The tour started with a half hour so drive to Sintra, all the way being informed about the history of Portugal which was very informative! We did the 4 hour tour which was a whistle stop tour of all the beautiful areas giving a great overview. If you wish to go into the palaces etc I would recommend the longer tour. We would highly recommend Cesar as he has a true passion for his job and his previous world wide career in hotel management shone through with his great attention to detail. Thank you Cesar and I’m sure we will see you on our next visit to the wonderful Lisbon.
We had an amazing full day trip with Cesar. He was very knowledgeable regarding all the sights we went to and was also kind enough to customise the day trip as per our needs. 10 out of 10 from us. Thank you Cesar!
We feel SO LUCKY to have booked this tour with Cesar. He took us to all the important places and then some of his secret favorite spots. It was an amazing drive through the countryside while getting a superb and informative tour. We were so impressed with the timing- he got us into Sintra before any of the other tours so no lines or crowds in our pictures. Next time we are in Portugal we will contact Mr. Cesar- he mentioned to us that he can organize any kind of tour (surfing, gastronomy, etc). Anybody traveling to Sintra MUST book this tour! There is no better way to do it. Thank you Cesar!
I spent a perfect sunny day with Cesar on a whole-day private tour visiting Sintra with all its surrounding highlights, the Cabo da Roca, stopping for a nice lunch after my request, driving along the Guincho beach… simply amazing. I really enjoyed being a sole passenger, enjoying a nice, comfortable and clean car, having my guide fully to myself, adjusting to my wishes and my pace of moving from one highlight to the other. No need to wait for anybody… what a pleasure! It’s simply worth every cent. If you book the private tour with Cesar, make sure you express your wishes, your expectations - just tell him how you would like to spend the day. The more you will share, the more he will make it all happen. It’s up to you! Enjoy!
Amazing experience! Cesar provides an unbelievable tour full of quality. He provides an excellent service that you will never forget.
Amazing trip even if the weather was not optimal Cesar was able to customise our journey and to provide us with amazing tips Definitely reccomended
