What people are saying about Cascais

Pedro our guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. He really brought the trip alive with his knowledge of Sintra and its history. One point to note is that you have to be fairly fit to climb Sintra. We walked 15,000 steps on the tour and it’s important that you carry drinks during the trip.

This tour was amazing! Pedro was literally the absolute best tour guide I have ever had! He was so knowledgeable, passionate, and funny. Literally so impressed with him, will definitely be doing this tour again when I’m back in Lisbon. Loved it!

All three stops are worthwhile.. it helps to have a very good tour guide like Carlos. Sintra was the best out of the three stops, but nonetheless these are musts...

We were picked up promptly by our guide, James! He took his time to explain everything and was very knowledgeable! A great day, thank you.

Absolutely worth it. Our guide Pedro was absolutely amazing and the views are breathtaking. Thank you for the great experience.
