Great sightseeing tour

It was a great tour! My only suggestion would be to provide a car charger, as we took so many pictures that our phones nearly ran out of battery.

Amazing day in Sintra!

We had an amazing day with Miguel!! He was the most knowledgeable and fun tour guide! We experienced the romantic palaces of Sintra and had a wonderful lunch in Cascais! If Miguel is leading the way, my husband and I would follow him anywhere! Thank you for showing us the sites of your extraordinary country! We learned so much about Portugal and truly enjoyed our day trip!!
