Our tour with Antonio on 12/29 was memorable! We drove along the coast from Cascais to see Casa de Roca, and then proceeded to Sintra. Antonio gave us lots of historical and current information about Portugal, all while driving small, winding roads. He modified our plans many times based on traffic and other circumstances. Our only "negative" was that the night before our 11 am tour, Antonia texted to say no tickets were available for Pena Palace until 5:30 pm. While not his fault, it was inconvenient due to our plans for the rest of that day. Since no refund was available, we accepted the change. The sunset from the palace was indeed beautiful, but other visitors should be aware this is a possibility. Nothing but high praise for Antonio, though, who remained cheerful, funny, and very helpful throughout the 6 hours of our trip!

We had a lovely time with Antonio! The pre-tour communication was great, and Antonio is a fantastic guide. He is personable and knowledgeable, and we had a great experience exploring Sintra and Cascais.
Our tour was excellent with Antonio as our guide! He was knowledgeable, patient, and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our day touring the Sintra Pena Palace, seeing the western most point of Europe, and driving through CaisCais. Highly recommend any tour with Antonio!
Antonio is the BEST! Friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The best guide we have ever used!
Antonio was excellent! We did a half-day tour from Lisbon to Sintra, and thoroughly enjoyed the drive and the Palace tour. He was an amazing source of information, not just about Sintra, but the Lisbon area. He tailored the morning to our timetable, which was great, as rather than spending more time in Sintra, we were able to go to the westernmost point of mainland Europe, Cabo da Roca. I would definitely recommend him!
Antonio gave us a wonderful experience on our tour of the Sintra Peña Palace. Although the weather was rainy and foggy, he was very accommodating to make sure we had a great visit despite the weather. His knowledge and pleasant demeanor made for a great time. We would recommend him for any of his tours in Lisbon.
