Awesome! It wasn’t what I expected; it was more physically taxing than I had understood it to be however, with the e-bike & a private tour with just our family, it was the perfect day out. Ricardo, our guide, was fun, engaging and informative. We rode for 42kms over the day, up the mountain, down the mountain and took in the views and scenery of Sintra & Cascais and everything in between. Lunch at the cyclists canteen was filling and suitable for the day. We rode through little towns, forests and valleys, along the beach front and to our train back to Lisbon. This is an amazing opportunity to do something with your family that they will remember forever, even if it did push the comfort boundaries for mum!!! Highly recommend the tour.

Our tour guide Nunu is a local and very knowledgeable about the place. He told us the most romantic love story of the Queen Dona Maria II and the King consort Ferdinand. Ferdinand acquired the old castle to remodel and extend it for the Queen Maria. It took 12 years to complete but sadly the Queen died of giving birth to their 11th child and didn’t see the completed palace. As we entered Peña Palace, it made us feel everything inside has a story to tell…….

We had a trip on 7.03. Everything was amazing! Miguel is very cool guide. He is as a real local , knows many nuances how to avoid crowded places and big lines, that made this trip very comfortable.he told us about history and much more. Totally recommend. Everything went smooth, interesting and very funny))

Enjoyed the tour with Nuno, he was knowledgeable, kind, and considerate to the group's needs. The tour is not overwhelming, and is just the right amount of activities and driving around. Definitely recommend!

We were picked up promptly by our guide, James! He took his time to explain everything and was very knowledgeable! A great day, thank you.
