Passeios por Monserrate 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!

Disfrutamos el día, ¡Elimio también es increíble! Nos divertimos mucho y aprendimos cosas de él. Agregamos la entrada al inicio del recorrido para poder ingresar a los terrenos del palacio. En general, valió mucho la pena, ¡muchas gracias!

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.

The tour guide introduced attractions and made recommendations. The car ride was convenient and smooth, eliminating the need to navigate or wait for transportation. It's especially suitable if you're traveling with children. Although it was a pity we couldn't visit Pena Palace due to continuous storms, and we couldn't see the blue sea at Cabo da Roca due to rain and heavy fog, the overall experience was smooth, allowing us to enjoy the activities even on a rainy day. Highly recommended.

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.

Muitos lugares visitados, foi uma ótima viagem, mas muito cansativa devido ao trânsito intenso. A Catarina foi uma guia local incrível e uma excelente contadora de histórias que nos ajudou a compreender a importância de cada lugar que visitámos, incluindo a história de Portugal. Boas recomendações de chá da manhã, pastelaria e almoço foram fornecidas e conhecemos pessoas adoráveis de todo o mundo nesta viagem. Há muita subida e caminhada, por isso as pessoas devem usar sapatos desportivos confortáveis.

Carlos, nuestro guía, fue divertido, sociable y encantador. Nos dio excelentes recomendaciones de comida en Cascais. Tuvimos menos tiempo en Sintra para explorar porque la fila para los pasteles era muy larga. Estoril solo lo pasamos de largo y no lo visitamos.

Excellent tour guide Gustavo, who provided mesmerizing history of each place, and local recommendations. The 6-seater was comfortable. Right on time arrangements. It was a pleasant tour.
