Het was een zeer geslaagde dag met name door de enthousiaste gids Miguel die veel wist te vertellen over de historie van de cultuur. Vol passie wist hij ons te inspireren. Prachtige omgeving, bijzonder paleis Pena en goed vervoer.

Loved Sintra and Pena. Maybe a little longer in Cascais would have been nice. Good to see Cabo. Ricardo, our guide, was superb. Entertaining and informative and provided a relaxed enjoyable atmosphere and was attentive equally to everyone on the tour.

Vi hadde en flott tur 🤩 Fikk sett mye og guiden vår Ricardo var dyktig både på historie, kjørte behagelig og var morsom. Kan anbefale han som guide og sjåfør. Spennende å få med seg alle disse stedene.

Opas oli erinomainen ja kertoi laajasti kohteista, kiitos John ( Joao). Paljon aikaa omaehtoiseen liikkumiseen ja tutustumiseen mutta Cascais ja Sintra olisivat ehkä antaneet enemmän ensikävijälle ohjatummin. Penan palatsi ympäristöineen oli vaikuttava. Arvosana 9+/10.

An excellent day trip and our guide, Miguel, was knowledgeable, passionate about Portugal and its history as well as a perfect gentleman. The free time at each stop was appreciated - Sintra is beautiful, Cabo de Roca stunning and Cascais was a cute seaside town.

Es war eine fantastische Tour - jeden Cent wert! 🤩 Simone, unser Guide, war großartig und hat uns ganz toll durch den Tag geführt, viel erzählt und alle Fragen beantwortet. Die Orte sind auch sehr sehenswert und definitiv eine Reise wert. Vor allem die romantische Stadt Sintra hat mir sehr gefallen. Man hat auch überall genug Zeit, um die Orte zu erkunden. Top Tour - absolute Empfehlung! Vielen Dank für den tollen Tag! 🫶🏻

Our Belém Walking Tour and visit to the Jerónimos Monastery was an absolute highlight of our time here, and it was entirely thanks to our phenomenal guide, João Lopes. João is exceptionally knowledgeable about Portuguese history, but what truly sets him apart is his deeply passionate and charismatic storytelling. He didn’t just recite dry facts; he brought the past to life with brilliant energy. He was wonderfully enthusiastic and highly interactive, making a point to engage with every single guest in the group to ensure we were all included and having a great time. Articulate, accommodating, and genuinely warm, João made the complex history of the area both accessible and fascinating. If you are booking this tour, you absolutely must request João. A phenomenal, five-star experience from start to finish!

Der Ausflug mit Matias war hervorragend und absolut empfehlenswert. Er hat uns die Umgebung von Lissabon auf interessante, kompetente und sympathische Weise gezeigt. Jeder, der die Region besucht, sollte diese Tour buchen! Our tour with Matias was excellent and highly recommended.

Es war sehr schön, Simone Silva hat viel erklärt, v.a. zur Geschichte Portugals, von Lissabon, Cascais und Sintra, und sie hat sich nie aus der Ruhe bringen lassen, wenn z.B. Zufahrten gesperrt waren wegen eines Marathons usw. Die Größe der Gruppe mit 8 Personen ist optimal. Deshalb eindeutig "Beide Daumen hoch!"

What a great day! Our guide was so knowledgeable of the places and the history of them - he was happy to answer any questions and looked after the group very well throughout the day. As a solo traveller I got to sit at the front so all the couples would be together, for once a perk to being solo! Timings for each stop were great and really I could not fault anything about the experience at all. At one stage we walked past another tour guide who was telling his group things that were not true! If you are interested in history then I highly recommend this tour.

Juan was absolutely amazing. I had a great time exploring. He was very knowledgeable and provided lots of recommendations on how to spend the free time and where to grab lunch. Only feedback: consider a guided tour in Cascais/Sintra for like 15-20 min then allow for free time (free time was so nice but I had to chatGPT a bit). Overall 10/10, would do again, and would recommend!

For people who like to travel it’s a must see Sinatra, Pena palace and Cascais. It’s a day long trip from Lisbon but well worth the time and the money. Miguel our guide excellent by keeping us informed with for the entire trip. He also was able to provide answers to all our questions.

Our guide, Ricardo, was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and patient, regaling us with a wealth of stories and anecdotes as he drove us to Cascais and Sintra. No fault of his, Cascais was pretty blah, just a seaside town for the wealthy. Sintra was very interesting, the Pena Palace especially.

Don’t Miss This Tour Joao was very knowledgeable, even able to answer the MANY questions our group had! He did not rush us, gave us ample time in Cascais and Cabo to enjoy the town. We were on our own for lunch in Sintra so we were able to eat and still take in the little town area. This was a rather last minute decision and we are so glad we did it. It really helps when there is someone that can give you the history, back stories and make it as enjoyable as Joao did, thank you!

Awesome day trip! Ricardo did a tremendous job telling us about all those places, for so many hours. He gave us very good recommendations for our free time on our own. He was great and the places are beautiful. This was also a nice tour size as we were only 8, and for this price, well worth it.

Ricardo was a fantastic tour guide. So friendly and informative and helpful. We were met on time in a comfortable vehicle, and learnt a huge amount about Portuguese history on both the journey and at each stop of our tour. The highlights for me were Sintra and Pena Palace. Both stunning. It was great value for money and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon.

We loved the time in Cascais and Sintra. Our guide, Joao, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. His restaurant recommendations were bang-on. His tour Pena Palace was very informative and he made sure we were able to mostly stay out of the rain and get the shuttle if we needed it. All around, a great day!

Firat was a wonderful tour guide!! We had the best time learning about all that Cascais, Cabo da Roca and Sintra had to offer. His Pena Palace knowledge is unmatched! I would recommend this tour to anyone! Pena Palace seemed like it could be confusing and difficult to walk around without a tour guide. We were fortunate to have booked this tour in advance because it made a huge difference!

Sinatra and Palace My wife and I had a great guided tour. Our guide, Miguel Câmara Leme, was very pleasant and well versed on Portuguese history and the Sintra history and area. His English was fluent and his presentation clear and excellent. Miguel kept us and 3 other couple engaged throughout the day and our destinations as we traveled. His driving was excellent and very safe. Miguel was very considerate and conscientious of everyone on the tour, learning all our names immediately and engaging and involving us throught the experience.
The tour had us dropped conveniently at 2 different locations to explore with a pick up times for both that gave us enough time to get familiar with what each had to offer. The second stop was the furthest western part of Portugal and Europe. A fantastic view in an ecologically sensitive area.
We finished at the palace where Miguel made sure to point out every detail of importance to the building and history of the site.

An excellent day with an excellent guide. Miguel encouraged questions and answered them with solid historic depth.

Highly recommend this tour. If you are lucky you will get Miguel!

Friends We had the best day with Miguel! He picked us up at our Airbnb right on time and we got on the road. He is so personable and a wealth of knowledge! We all loved Caicais! And Cabo Da Roca had beautiful views of the water. Weather was spectacular! We had been disappointed that the. National Tile Museum was closed during our visit, but Miguel taught us so much about tile! And his knowledge of the Pena Palace is second to none. He knows all of the ends and outs. It is a bit of a hike to get up to it and I forgot to bring water with me, but he took us to directly to the cafeteria for bottles of cold water and a few minutes of rest. He provided excellent recommendations for lunch and we spent close to 10 hours together, but it went by quickly and was like spending time with an old friend. Cannot recommend Miguel enough!

This was an excellent trip and our guide, John, was exceptional! For someone so young, he showed an enormous amount of knowledge and pride for his country. We were so pleased to have him as our guide. The only disappointment was the reversal of the itinerary. We were brought to Cascais in the morning instead of the afternoon for lunch.

Phil was totally amazing on our tour today. He is funny, kind, smart and very well spoken. He is happy to promote Portugal and we learned a great deal on our multi town tour. He provided recommendations for each stop to provide a superior trip. My elderly parents travelled with us and he was very kind to suggest and pay for a bus ride up to the top of the castle which helped them have the same experience that we had as they otherwise could not have completed the walk. His personal stories were and added value to our experience. We would highly recommend Phil as a tour guide to represent you and your country. Thanks Phil. We had so much fun.

He had recommendations of places to grab a coffee, meal, or pastry at every location. I was nervous about the walk up to Pena Palace but he bought me a shuttle ticket and made it very easy. the locations and views were stunning. Highly recommend!

Our tour with Miguel was easily the highlight of our Sintra trip. He is a true intellectual, a gentleman, and an absolute expert at what he does. We were traveling as a family, and we were particularly impressed by how he kept our 12-year-old engaged and interested throughout the entire experience—no small feat! Beyond his impressive knowledge, Miguel is a true pleasure to be around, and we felt a genuine connection with him. If you are looking for an insightful, high-quality experience that appeals to all ages, we cannot recommend his services enough. We will definitely be booking with him again on our next visit!

Der Ausflug war dank miguel einer der besten Ausflüge, die ich je gebucht habe. wir waren nur eine kleine gruppe und wurden am morgen schon sehr herzlich empfangen. unterwegs erklärte miguel uns alles über die einzelen orte und deren geschichte. an den einzelnen stops hatten wir auch genug zeit, um alles zu sehen und es war kein gehetze wie bei so manch anderen ausflügen von anderen anbietern . Miguel hatte immer ein lächeln im gesicht und man merkte schnell, dass er mit vollen herzen diese ausflüge leitet. man hatte das gefühl mit freunden unterwegs zu sein. am ende des ausfluges ist man glücklich und mit vielen erinnerungen und eindrücken zum hotel zurück. ein ganz grosses danke an miguel für diesen wundervollen tag.

This day trip was an unforgettable experience! It was our favorite day in our entire trip to Portugal. The palace is stunning and unlike anything we had seen. On this trip, you get to stop in 3 places, all with magnificent views, and plenty of time to enjoy pictures, shopping, and a bite to eat! Miguel, our tour guide, is who made this day trip the BEST experience. He has a magical zest for life and is a wealth of knowledge. It felt like you were traveling with a friend all day. Highly recommend!

I am glad we took this tour of Cascais, Cabo, Sintra and Pena Palace. All logistics and Pena Palace entry were taken care of. For example, we didn’t need to wait in the long line for Pena Palace entry. Thanks to our guide Ricardo, we appreciated all those beautiful sights and monuments even more. Ricardo took us through the history of Portugal, explaining each sight by linking it to history and culture. He pointed out significant objects, explaining the symbolism behind them, such as rope shaped columns representing Portugal’s maritime expertise. Ricardo also gave us suggestions for restaurants and Fado bars for the rest of our stay. We all fully recommend this tour.

This was such a great tour experience! Firat was an excellent tour guide - so knowledgeable, warm and friendly, and really helped us get to know Sintra and Cascais. He gave great recommendations and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day! Pena Palace was absolutely a highlight, and totally worth the short walk straight uphill, although we stuck with just the exterior tickets which ended up being perfect. The beaches of Cascais were beautiful as well and we were lucky enough to have some sunshine and drive along the coast on the way back to Lisbon. The timing was excellent throughout the day with enough time at each stop to really enjoy Portugal, and Firat was flexible with any changes that needed to be made throughout the trip. The service all day was top quality, and I will absolutely be looking forward to another Unique Journey tour in the future.

The monastery was gorgeous and well worth the visit. We were happy to have a guided tour which enabled us to skip a huge line for entry. Unfortunately, the church was closed for renovations. The pasteis de Belem were terrific (though we tasted better ones elsewhere) and we were again able to skip a huge line. The monument was terrific but the tower had scaffolding. We took many tours while in Lisbon and found our guide on this tour merely average - not as informative, not as clear and possibly hungover.

Fantastic Family Tour from Lisbon to Sintra, Pena Palace & Cascais with Miguel Câmara Leme. We travelled as a couple with our 9‑year‑old, and our full‑day tour with Miguel Câmara Leme was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Portugal. From start to finish, Miguel made the entire experience smooth, engaging, and perfectly tailored for both adults and children. Miguel has a rare gift for storytelling — he brings Portuguese history, culture, and architecture to life in a way that keeps everyone interested, including kids. Our son was completely captivated by the legends of Sintra and the colourful magic of Pena Palace, thanks to Miguel’s fun explanations and patience. Throughout the day, Miguel was incredibly attentive: checking in on comfort, adjusting the pace when needed, and making sure we had the best viewpoints, photo stops, and local tips. The drive was comfortable, the timing was well‑planned, and we never felt rushed. Thanks

Wir haben die Tagestour über Ostern gemacht und waren absolut begeistert. Alles war perfekt organisiert, zeitlich super geplant. Man bekommt genau das, was beschrieben wird. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir unseren Guide Ricardo. Er ist eine Klasse für sich. Unglaublich hilfsbereit, immer gut gelaunt und hat ein außergewöhnliches Fachwissen über die Paläste und die Region. Man merkt sofort, dass er seinen Job liebt. Kleiner Tipp: Regenjacke mitnehmen, das Wetter kann am Schloss schnell umschlagen, auch wenn es gerade noch gut aussieht. Können wir wirklich nur uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen, wenn man sich interessiert für diese außergewöhnliche Region.

He is an exceptional storyteller who brought the history to life in such an engaging way. Plus, he is easily the best driver we’ve ever seen—navigating Sintra’s notoriously narrow streets was a breeze for him! If you want a safe, informative, and fun day exploring the coast, ask for Ricardo.

Ricardo is een geweldige gids. Zijn kennis over portugal en zijn historie is ongekend groot. Hij verteld ronduit over alles wat je wilt weten. De groep van max 8 personen is heel prettig. Cascais is een schitterend vissersdorp/badplaats. We waren vroeg waardoor veel nog dicht was, maar een kop koffie met pastel de nata in de zon was heerlijk. Cabo is mooi om te zien. Het meest westelijke punt van Europa. Sintra is ook een toeristisch dorp. Het draait om de paleizen. Die zijn heel mooi

It was a nice was to see and visit both Cascais and Sintra, however it was not near enough time to really see much. If you want to visit Sintra and actually have time to see and visit the palaces then this isn’t for you. Overall we enjoyed our time.

The best trip of my life! I don't know what more to say, because there were so many wonderful moments. Miguel, the guide, will remain in our hearts forever. He was very warm, friendly, and cared for the entire group and each individual. He spoke engagingly about the sights and recommended places to eat. He took care of us and our safety. I dare to say the guide also arranged the weather for us, because despite the fog in the morning, beautiful sun appeared around 10:00, right on time! We were on the trip with my now-fiancé, that's how we got engaged btw at Cabo da Roca. This day and trip are memorable not just for the engagement, but for the people, atmosphere , the jokes, the getting-to-know-you, and the experience. I would spend a million times that amount of money to meet Miguel again and again! I highly recommend this one; the itinerary and the execution are perfect for spending the day.

Visit Ricardo our guide was very good with lots of good info! Very pleasant individual and just wanted everyone to enjoy themselves and we all did. Palace is very beautiful and interesting. Walk up to it is a very steep trek and elderly or people with disabilities will find it difficult. They should have a way to bring them up.

Was a great day ! Wonderful guide and nice van. Didn’t seem too long of a drive between spots. Def not a lot of waves to see at Nazare but still a quaint town right in the beach. Fatima was impressive. Favorite was Obidos. Didn’t know anything about the town. Such a great authentic very old town. Loved the feel of it. Could’ve stayed there a few days.

The day was topped off with excellent food recommendations—ensure you ask what local delicacies to try in Sintra. A huge thanks to Ricardo.

guide who is professional, witty, and an absolute encyclopedia of Portuguese culture, Ricardo is your man If youu2019re planning a trip to the Portuguese Riviera, do yourself a favor and book with Ricardo from GetYourGuide. Our day exploring the coast wasnu2019t just a tour; it felt like traveling with a deeply knowledgeable friend who genuinely loves his country.

Here is why Ricardo made our trip beyond absolutely unforgettable:

Expert Storytelling: From Palaces to the Edge of the World
Ricardo has a gift for making history feel alive. He didnu2019t just give us dates; he painted a picture of the lives lived within the walls of the Pena Palace and the mystical streets of Sintra.

A Cultural Deep Dive
What sets Ricardo apart is his passion for the "soul" of Portugal. He didnu2019t just talk about buildings; he taught us about Portuguese history through the lens of its people and its music. Learning about the melancholic beauty of Fado and the rhythms of the culture while driving through the Riviera added a layer of immersion you simply canu2019t get from a guidebook.

The guide was very knowledgeable about each destination, sharing interesting history and stories about every city. The explanations were clear and engaging, which made each stop much more meaningful—not just sightseeing, but really understanding the places we visited. Time management was excellent as well.

Almost like a friend we've known for years. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, sights were so beautiful and good company. I found the cost was very reasonable given everything we saw.

The tour was perfectly timed, with a great balance between guided information and free time to explore. His knowledge was impressive—not just the main historical points, but also fun facts and stories that really brought everything to life.
He kept the day running smoothly without ever making it feel rushed, and his enthusiasm made the whole experience more enjoyable. Honestly, it wouldn’t have been the same without him.

We were satisfied with the length of the visit and felt it was well worth the price.

We really loved the fact that it was small vans and not a large bus. So it felt more intimate and personal, which is what we were looking for!

Amazing experience Our trip to Sintra was absolutely wonderful and truly unforgettable. The highlight of the day was visiting the breathtaking Pena Palace, with its vibrant colors, romantic architecture, and stunning views over the surrounding hills. A special thank you goes to our guide, Diogo, who made the experience even more enjoyable. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and stories of Sintra. Diogo was very attentive to everyone in the group, always making sure we were comfortable and engaged. His enthusiasm and warm personality truly enhanced our visit.

Best way to see those places The tour was planned very well. Little bit tiring but all the places we visit was Authentic. Special thanks to our guide Diogo who gives us all the information that we need.

Thoroughly enjoyed the day trip. Even though the latter portion of the day was rainy it was a great day. Jaou was superb. His knowledge of the areas we visited and his excellent narratives on the historical aspects of the palaces were very impressive.

A very nice day with a very good guide! I made the excursion including Sintra, Pena Palace, Cap de Roca and Cascais from Lisbon. Despite a terrible weather that deprived us of some points of view, I had a very nice day. Our guide Diogo was very interesting and very funny, it made the excursion unforgettable. The day passed very quickly, I really recommend!

Ricardo was a wonderful guide. Even though we were delayed to see the Peña Palace, due to a fallen tree in the road, he remained calm and spent time with more information and stories to entertain us. He was a very capable guide

We had an incredible day on the Pena Palace tour, and our tour guide Miguel made it truly unforgettable. His knowledge of Portugal’s history, culture, and stories is remarkable—he shared so much detail and insight that we would never have discovered on our own. Every stop felt alive because of the way he explained the history and little-known facts. The views were breathtaking, the pace was perfect, and by the end of the tour, it felt like we’d spent the day with an old friend. If you want to learn and experience Pena Palace in a way that goes far beyond just visiting, do this tour!

Excellent tour We had a private tour with just the 3 of us. It was a wonderful experience with a lot of explanations and information about the history of Lisbon, sintra and cascais. (Also other things of Portugal).
The guide was very professional and friendly.
I can recommend this tour and especially the guide that was with us.
Special thanks to Ricardo Miguel

Our guide Ricardo was outstanding - he met us at the meeting point - we were a few minutes late but he was polite and reassuring . He took us to the very comfortable transport and once we set off he pointed out sites and explained a lot about the history of Lisbon and Portugal . He guided us around Pena Palace and his explanations were fascinating . He ensured we had comfort breaks and helped us with photos . We next lunched in Sintra and he recommended a number of possible lunch venues - the one we chose was excellent . We then travelled to Cabo and enjoyed the views before finishing the tour in Cascais. Ricardo could not have been more helpful . His English was exceptionally good and his knowledge of each place we visited was amazing . He was charming polite and flexible throughout the tour . We cannot recommend the tour and the services of Ricardo highly enough . Thank you Ricardo !

We had a fabilous time in a trip! We had a bit of an alternative tour to the one booked as the weather didn't allow for a visit to Pena Palace. Our tour guide was Diogo who was super friendly and knowledgeble and gave us some great reccomendarions. Diogo quickly became one of the highlights of our entire trip and genuielnly got along! Absolutely an asset of a Tour guide to the company. Me and my partner Daniel were super grateful that the tour didn't get canceled! We got taken care of and take around to all the other locations and had a fantastic time. Highly reccomend booking with this service provider their communication and customer service is fantastic even before the trip I had to contact them and got a response very quickly.

Der Taggesausflug war super. Unser Guide Ricardo hat uns pünktlich abgeholt und uns mit sehr vielen Informationen und Geschichten rund um Lissabon versorgt. Er war super freundlich und sich dem Tempo der Gruppe und dere Bedürfnissen angepasst. An jedem Stopp hatten wir genug Zeit um die Burg oder die Stätte zu erkunden. Es was eine gute Abwechslung aus Tour mit dem Guide und auch mal selbst führten erkunden. Allem in allem war es ein wunderschöner Tag und ich würde es jedem empfehlen diese zu buchen 🙂

Znakomicie zorganizowana wycieczka. Bardzo precyzyjnie zaplanowana, ciekawa i dosyć kompleksowa. Przewodnik okazał się mega komunikatywnym, świetnie przygotowanym facetem mówiącym doskonale po angielsku. Nawet w aucie opowiadał bardzo ciekawe anegdoty na temat życia codziennego. Odpowiedni procent czasu wolnego, zabytków i chodzenia. 10/10

Ricardo was a great guide. Our trip was on a Sunday and we got an hour to spend at our first stop at Cascais around 9:30am which was a tad bit too early since the businesses were just opening up. Other than this, the rest of the trip was great. Sintra and Pena palaces are definitely the highlights!

Our guide, Ricardo, was the best. We were fortunate enough to be the only couple on the trip - still, he gave us full and constant attention with flexibility for timings, deep knowledge of history and so much information. We really have no idea how to improve on an already superb service. Also a shout-out to GetMyGuide whom we have used several times now - always easy to use, reliable and excellent value for money. We will continue to use it.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé - en plus petit bus plus intime - le guide était super gentil et intéressant . Beaux endroits à voir - nous recommandons cette activité. Nous avons visité l’extérieur uniquement du palais à sintra et c’était vraiment très beau et intéressant! Suffisamment de temps à chacun des arrêts du parcours - belles découvertes !

The trip was more than value for money..we saw so many beautiful places that we would never have managed on our own in one day...we were lucky to enjoy a wonderful sunny day that made the experience even better.Frat, our guide, was amazing and he made sure we get the best of our tour. again, one of the best parts of such tours is meeting people from all over the world...Go Canadians! the Greek-Japanese Team here
