Amazing tour to Sintra and two the most beautiful palaces (Peña Palace and Regaleira). Our guide was Max, he was very enthusiastic, super friendly and knowledgable guy, that not only explained everything thoroughly and took care of the well-being of the group, but also gave some advices and recommendations to guide ourselves in beautiful Sintra during our solo/free time. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time in Lisbon/Portugal and wants to gain as much experience as possible.

My tour was fantastic and the perfect way to explore for me. It was a nice small group so it didn’t feel overwhelming going around with a huge group. Our guide was very personable and treated you like a friend bringing you around. The locations were beautiful and we had adequate time to wander and take photos and explore. Would highly recommend!

Richardo Diaz was brilliant. He captured the history of the places very nicely but also had a very bubbly character himself making the trip double fun. It was a very enjoyable trip. Highly recommend!!! Raj and Amir - NY
