Very good organization, absolutely punctual pickup at the hotel. The driver Sonja and the German speaking tour guide Thomas were just awesome. Thomas explained an incredible amount to us about the Pena Palace, we visited beautiful Sintra, the westernmost point of Europe and still had time for a stroll with a very tasty lunch in Cascais (thanks to a tip from Thomas) and were still on the beach. All in all, an unforgettable excursion that is definitely to be recommended

Thomas and Paulo are a great team and the trip was well timed. Thomas speaks German very well and has told a lot about Sintra and the other places. I can recommend the trip. There are many mountains in Sintra and a custom vehicle is perfect for those who don't want to walk steep roads in the heat. I would also like to thank Paulo once again, who brought my forgotten sunglasses to the hotel again. Stefan. Limburg
