Paulo the guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, cared about our experience and was very friendly. He provide added information and details (historical) that I didn't expect and we appreciated him. Maybe my fault, I thought the tickets to Pena Palace were included (or some other attraction) and it wasn't, so I would say what could have made it better was to give us a heads up to purchase online/ahead of time to save time on the day. Would recommend this tour for sure!

We did this excursion with Stas as a guide and, honestly, it was great. We spent a spectacular day in Sintra and Cascais, where we made several stops in cool places. In addition, we ate in a restaurant where you can try the typical food. If you go to Lisbon it is 100% worth it. Thank you for an unforgettable day. Sonia and Noelia

We had the very best guide who knew each answer to all of our questions, he was kind, funny, competent, always on time … great language speaker, he just loves his work and happy to do it. The planification if voyage was good. Sintra is just beautiful, the cliff and Cascais as well. I was just sad that we didn’t have more time to spend in Cascais to see more shops, etc… But globally this excursion went way over my expectations. 20/10
