Rubén was charming and very professional. As we decided not to visit the palaces inside, he extended the route to Cascais on his own initiative. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the afternoon in Sintra and Cascais, returning to Lisbon along the coastal road. Beautiful!

Rueben was a fantastic guide! There were some closures at Pena Palace due to recent storms and he quickly pivoted to customize our tour to some other parts that we have not seen. He was great at sharing his cultural knowledge and was a pleasure to spend a day with. Thanks!
