Maria was excellent. Enough time was provided for each site. Very informative. We were one of the first at Pena which saved a lot of time. Highly recommend! Hint: Due to the crowds, I would suggest either Pena or Regaleira but not both. Although we were able to save some time by buying electronic tickets, there was a very very long queue at the well in Regaleira. So, we had to skip it.

Maria was a great guide! She gave us ample time at each destination to take it in, take some pictures and even get to breathe and relax too. It was a great tour filled with information and I feel like I learnt so much history and fun facts from this experience. It was a small group so we quickly became friends and walked around the various stops together. Definitely recommend!

We had Maria & we loved that she was so kind, sweet & eager to adjust the day to our desires, since there were no other guests. The places we visited we absolutely phenomenal & Maria made everything in order to ensure we were always on time & having the best experience in Lisbon! Such a great trip offered by such a wonderful team! Do not miss Sintra when in Lisbon!

¡Excelente tour privado en castellano! Nuestra guía, Carolina, hablaba un español excelente y nos llevó por muchos rincones del recinto patrimonial de Sintra y el Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais. Todo fue muy profesional y, aunque el tiempo no acompañó del todo, pasamos un día fantástico.

5 stars for a reason! This was a great small group tour (there were 5 of us) so the benefit of a guided tour without being packed into a crowded bus.
