Prepare to climb to Sintra Palaces with a great tour guide Fabio

We had Fabio Felix, who was awesome! This trip has a lot of vertical walking, so bring shoes you that are good for steep climbs and descends. The sights are really great and no picture gives them justice. Felix gave us plenty of time to explore all 3 major sites we visited, with historical information on all places as well as tips on good places to shop. Lunch was very welcome after all the climbing up and down and very reasonably priced. Lastly we visited 2 sites on the Atlantic coast; Cabo da Roca and Cascais, with sufficient time to explore. The checkin is a little chaotic, but once you are settled in your van be ready for a fun, imformative full day.

You must book this tour when in Lisbon!!!

What an incredible tour; it makes such a difference that they are organised into small groups as you get a very personalised and dedicated service. Alberto was the best tour guide, so knowledgable and personable he made the tour really fantastic, answering all of our questions and imparting his very impressive knowledge. Stunning parks, palaces and beaches - it is a must! I want to do the tour all over again!

I found our tour guide to...

I found our tour guide to be argumentative and immature. Always looking to argue about something. I enjoyed the tour part but he really put a cloud over the day
