We had a great day with our guide Maia and our driver Pedro! Despite the weather (our only day of rain and fog), we made the best of it and still had an amazing time exploring Sintra. Maia was such a great sport as she took us in the rain to visit and explore Peña Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, and Monserrate Palace and gave a recommendation for a great place for a quick lunch. We couldn’t of asked for a better tour! João (founder) was also a pleasure to communicate with leading up to our tour.

This was a wonderful day with Paolo as our guide. It was our second tour with him. From the beginning we felt like we were out with an old friend. He is so knowledgeable about the history of the country and the regions. He was extremely thorough in his explanations as we toured the Palace, down to the smallest details that we never would have known about had we gone there on our own. We then took a beautiful drive to Cabo Da Roca and Cascais, where of course, he explained everything along the way. It was an added bonus that he brought us to a local restaurant for an amazing, authentic lunch as well as to a pastry shop in Belem with the best pastries I have ever eaten. We highly recommend this tour with Paolo as your guide!

We had an amazing tour with Paulo Levy. He was so informative and made the whole tour really interesting. New the right recommendations for the best food and pastries. We also took the Jewish tour of Lisbon with him and again, he did not disappoint. Knows a lot of very interesting facts. Definitely recommend Paulo to all my friends and family.
