    Such an amazing trip! João is an excellent guide who took into account our preferred route. We visited Pena palace, Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira. We also passed by Cabo da Roca. João is very knowledgeable of history and interesting facts. He also gave us some tips of what to visit in Lisbon, which we did on the next day. Do not hesitate booking this trip, as this will definitely be helpful in terms of history as well as getting around Sintra.

    Absoultely one of the highlights of our trip!

    We were so thrilled with our day in Sintra, Rocha da Cabio and Cassais. Rod was wonderful. He was very knowledgable and also knew how to pace the trip. I traveled with my 80 year old mother and 10 year old daughter. Having such a vast range of ages - Rod did an excellent job adjusting the trip to meet everyone's needs. I highly recommend Rod - he was one of the best guides we have experienced and his knowledge, friendly style and way of being was such a pleasure. A relaxing and wonderful day (despite a bit of rain and clouds ) Rod made it very enjoyable and we would do this trip again in a heart beat!!

    Personable and knowledgeable, and an excellent driver to boot.

    We were very pleased with our tour of Sintra and Lisbon, even tho we got a late start because the ship docked at 2pm. Our guide met and delivered us to the pier. Joao couldn't have been kinder in helping with my wheelchair with my son and working out what would fit our needs, the time of day, and our interests. His English and his knowledge of the area are excellent and I would recommend him highly.
