“Highly recommend booking a private tour of Sintra! Inês picked us up from our AirBNB right on time and was extremely knowledgeable about Portugal’s history. She took us to Belem, Cascais, and Sintra and allowed us time in each location to walk around by ourselves, shop, grab food, and relax. We had our 10 month old with us and she was so kind and accommodating to our needs. She even surprised us with a little stuffed yellow tram that he could play with in the car. This made for the best end to our week in Lisbon - we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“We have been on a 2 week trip to a few different countries and this was our favorite tour. Our guide had great energy and made learning about the region very fun. It was a terribly rainy day, which was somewhat limiting, but we powered through it and had a great experience. One thing I did not understand when I booked the tour is that you have to buy the tickets for the palace separately. You can buy a pass to view the outside or a pass to go inside. Since we did not book it in advance, there were no tickets available to go inside. I definitely would have…”
