Great tour

Thomas was our great guide for this tour. Sinatra was beautiful! It is quite a steep walk to the Pena Palace. Thomas was very knowledgeable and a joy to spend the day with him.

Sintra and Cascais tour

We had a very enjoyable tour today to Sintra and Cascais. Our guide Alberto was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even though we got a cold and foggy morning at the castle it was still an amazing place to visit. I would recommend Inside Lisbon tours for this trip
