Passeios por Sintra National Palace

Gustavo is a very professional guide - always taking care of us, looking out for us and full of stories about the area. He makes the day trip to Sintra unforgettable!

Me alegro de que haya excursiones de medio día disponibles. Un día entero de caminata puede ser bastante agotador. Ayudaría si hubiera algún tipo de señal junto al autobús turístico o una mención en el correo electrónico que enviaron. ¿Quién iba a saber que querían que nos registráramos antes de subir al autobús? El guía tenía suficiente conocimiento, pero como éramos un grupo grande y él seguía avanzando, hubo algunas partes de la narración que no entendimos. Esto a pesar de los dispositivos de audio; las paredes del castillo son gruesas. El horario del tour debería ajustarse ahora que es invierno. Llegamos a Cascais cuando ya estaba oscuro.

Tuvimos un día fantástico con Gustavo. Es increíblemente conocedor de la historia local y lo explicó todo. Es súper amable y acogedor. En general, una gran experiencia de principio a fin. ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente reservar un tour con él!

My tour guide was Valerio and he was very helpful and accommodating during the tour. He took care of us very well and provided valuable information if we needed to get good food, desserts, shopping etc. Overall, enjoyed my tour thus far!

We arrived at the fountain early in the morning, full of anticipation, but I suggest the meeting point should be more clearly marked. There are two fountains, so it's easy to be unsure which one is the correct meeting spot. As the time approached, I contacted the organizer via WhatsApp, and thankfully, communication in English was very convenient. Our tour guide was lively and entertaining throughout the trip, making it very enjoyable! He would also announce when it was time to rest, saying, "Okay, everyone, we all need a break now. In about 00 time, we'll arrive at [destination]," ensuring a relaxed and comfortable journey. At each attraction, he explained the history, culture, and significance, along with some interesting and vivid anecdotes! If your TOEIC English score is above 650, you might want to challenge yourself by joining an English-speaking tour 👍. However, I do have one complaint: the bus air conditioning broke down on the return journey, which lasted almost 2-2.5 hours. The poor condition of the bus combined with the stuffy heat was truly uncomfortable, almost making me sick 🤮! Thankfully, we finally reached the drop-off point at the last minute, which brought much relief.

Tuvimos el mejor recorrido por el Palacio da Pena y la Quinta da Regaleira + el centro de la ciudad de Sintra. Tengo que decir que nuestro guía turístico "J-Lo" fue la guinda del pastel de esta increíble experiencia. Fue muy divertido e hizo que la navegación fuera muy fácil. Este fue el tiempo perfecto para pasar en Sintra.

We were very happy to meet guide Dumitru on our Sintra tour. It was our first time joining his tour, and the experience was so good that it left a strong impression on us. The group was small, which made the whole schedule smooth and comfortable. The vehicle was clean and very comfortable, and we could hear all of his explanations clearly. At every location, Dumitru gave detailed historical explanations and pointed out the best viewpoints, which helped us enjoy Sintra much more deeply. What we appreciated the most was how attentively he cared for each participant and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. Because of this great experience, we immediately decided to book another tour—the Óbidos tour—and we were so happy to meet Dumitru again. If we come back to Portugal in the future, we would love to join his tours again. Dumitru is truly an exceptional guide.

Camilla is a very nice and helpful tour guide. We didn’t buy the entrance ticket for Quinta Regeira and Pena Palace, she is very nice to advice us to purchase the Pena Palace park exterior ticket to visit the Pena Palace. Thanks to her and we were grateful that we bought the park ticket and didn’t miss the wonderful view of Pena Palace. We also didn’t buy the lunch and she is nice to recommend us the restaurants. She takes a good care of us and other guests. Not to forget the driver ( sorry for forgetting his name) also awesome. Both Camilla and the driver did a good job! Definitely worth 5 stars.
