Pasamos un día fantástico con Fábio Félix. Se nota que ama lo que hace y conoce cada rincón y cada historia del lugar. Siempre estuvo pendiente del grupo, respondió todas nuestras preguntas y nos hizo sentir muy cómodos. Sin duda, uno de los mejores guías con los que hemos estado.

We had a fantastic day with Fábio Félix. It's clear he loves what he does and knows every corner and story of the place. He was always attentive to the group, answered all our questions, and made us feel very comfortable. Without a doubt, one of the best guides we've ever worked with. Opinion translated.

En primer lugar: en el grupo de 8 personas que nos tocó solo 2 eramos de habla hispana, por lo cual no fue nada fácil para el guía informar sobre algunos temas que hubiera sido bueno conocer, por ejemplo más historia de lo que visitamos, en fin, Sintra y Cascais hermosos lugares... tour pudo haber sido mejor...

First of all: in the group of 8 people we had, only 2 of us were Spanish speakers, so it wasn't easy for the guide to inform us about some topics that would have been good to know, for example more history of what we visited. Anyway, Sintra and Cascais are beautiful places... the tour could have been better...

La experiencia en general fue buena, pero con algunos altibajos. El Palacio de Pena es un lugar de ensueño, y la visita guiada fue completa y agradable. Apenas estuvimos 45 min en Sintra, y habría estado bien haber podido disfrutar un poco más del lugar y de la comida. El Cabo da Roca tiene el interés de que es el punto más occidental de Europa, pero no mucho más. Y en Cascais apenas da tiempo a nada, solamente comer y ya va justo. Habría estado muy bien aumentar el tiempo en Sintra y Cascais

The overall experience was good, but with some ups and downs. Pena Palace is a dream location, and the guided tour was comprehensive and enjoyable. We only spent 45 minutes in Sintra, and it would have been nice to have enjoyed the place and the food a little longer. Cabo da Roca is interesting because it's the westernmost point in Europe, but not much more. And in Cascais, there's barely enough time to do anything except eat, and that's already a bit tight. It would have been great to extend our time in Sintra and Cascais.

Excelente el tour y sobre todo excelente Luis, muy amable, nos dió tiempo para disfrutar del lugar, no nos apuró, nos explicó en español e inglés, pobre le tocó un grupo bilingüe! Los grupos son chicos, eso es genial. Vale la pena, lo recomiendo! Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was excellent, and Luis was especially excellent. He was very friendly. He gave us time to enjoy the place, didn't rush us, and explained everything in Spanish and English. Poor thing, he was assigned to a bilingual group! The groups are small, which is great. It's worth it, I recommend it! Opinion translated. Show original.

A visita ao Palácio da Penha é incrível, pois o próprio lugar e suas histórias, que incluem gerações,fala por si só, mas tudo ficou melhor por causa da guia Margarida, pois não é só o nome dela que é de uma flor, ela merece todos os elogios, pois bastante atenciosa com todos os turistas, preocupada e solidária, inclusive emprestou-me o casaco dela, tendo em vista que esqueci o meu e ela teve todo o cuidado com seu grupo, sempre preocupada com todos. Cascais é lindo e Roca impressionante! Translate this opinion into English.

The visit to Penha Palace is incredible, as the place itself and its stories, spanning generations, speak for themselves. But everything was made even better by our guide, Margarida. Her name isn't just a flower; she deserves all the praise, as she is very attentive, concerned, and supportive to all the tourists. She even lent me her coat when I forgot mine, and she took great care of her group, always concerned for everyone. Cascais is beautiful, and Roca is impressive! Opinion translated. Show original.

Se cumplió como lo ofrecieron en términos generales. El guía fue bastante atento y amable. Realmente la parte de la visita a Sintra fue muy rápida, realmente no conocimos el Casco histórico y hubo poco detalle en esta parte de la visita, solo nos dio tiempo para refrescarnos. El Palacio de Pena y Cascais estuvo muy bien. Aunque el tour se ofreció en español, a última hora nos incluyeron una pareja americana que no hablaban español, lo que hacía que el tour fuera un poco tedioso y repetitivo. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was as described, generally speaking. The guide was quite attentive and friendly. The Sintra part of the tour was actually very quick; we didn't really get to see the Old Town, and there was little detail covered in this part of the tour; it only gave us time to refresh ourselves. The Pena Palace and Cascais were very good. Although the tour was offered in Spanish, at the last minute they included an American couple who didn't speak Spanish, which made the tour a bit tedious and repetitive. Opinion translated.

Merci beaucoup à notre guide, Mike (Miguel) qui m'a permis de passer une superbe journée ! Cette excursion vaut vraiment le coup : le palais de Pena, le tour dans Sintra, l'arrêt à le Cabo da Roca et puis la plage à Cascais. Vraiment des petites histoires dans la grande Histoire, c'est passionnant. Mike a su être captivant et très agréable avec toujours un mot gentil pour chacun. Sortie en petit groupe (7 personnes), c'était vraiment parfait Translate this opinion into English.

Many thanks to our guide, Mike (Miguel) who allowed me to have a wonderful day! This excursion is really worth it: the Pena Palace, the tour in Sintra, the stop at Cabo da Roca and then the beach in Cascais. Really little stories in the big History, it's fascinating. Mike knew how to be captivating and very pleasant with always a kind word for everyone. Excursion in a small group (7 people), it was really perfect Opinion translated. Show original.

Me parece una excursión carísima para lo que se hace. Apenas tiempo para pasear por Sintra, solo una hora, 20 minutos en Cabo de Roca y hora y media para comer en Cascais. La visita por el Palacio da pena con el guía está bien pero después no deja tiempo para curiosear por tu cuenta. La excursión es de 8 a 4 de la tarde. En Cascais apenas hay tiempo para pasear ya que se va el tiempo para comer. Son 95 euros sin comida, nos ha parecido excesivo el precio.

I think it's a very expensive excursion for what you get. There's barely enough time to walk around Sintra, just an hour and 20 minutes at Cabo de Roca, and an hour and a half to eat in Cascais. The visit to the Palace is pitiful, with a guide, but it's fine, but there's no time to explore on your own afterward. The excursion runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In Cascais, there's barely enough time to walk around, as lunch time is quickly gone. It's 95 euros without food; we thought it was excessive.

Rubén nos llevó al palacio, a Sintra y Cascais. Tuvo mucha habilidad para explicar todo, además en diversos idiomas sin dejar a nadie descuidado del grupo que íbamos, 4 españoles, 2 mexicanos y 2 australianas. Simpatía nivel máximo, muchísima información interesante sin cesar durante toda la excursión, y dispuesto a ayudarnos en todo lo que necesitaramos. Un 10 para Rubén!

Estupenda en general. La idea de coches de 8 personas, en vez de autocares grandes, es un lujo. Casi son excursiones exclusivas. Una pena lo del Palacio da Pena, cerrado por riesgo de ncendio, pero al menos lo sustituyeron por el de Queluz. Las visitas, instructivas y bien explicadas. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent overall. The idea of eight-seat cars, instead of large coaches, is a luxury. They're almost exclusive excursions. It's a shame about the Pena Palace, which was closed due to fire risk, but at least they replaced it with the Queluz Palace. The tours were informative and well explained. Opinion translated.

Très bien. Nous avons eu un guide très sympathique et très intéressant. Les feux de forêt étant très intenses en cette période d'août, nous n'avons pas pu visiter le palais de Pina (interdiction) mais le guide a su rebondir pour une visite très intéressante par ailleurs. Nous aurions pu avoir l'opportunité d'annuler et d'être remboursés et nous avons été prévenus suffisamment tôt. Nous avons préféré poursuivre cette excursion et nous en avons été ravis.

Very good. We had a very friendly and very interesting guide. The forest fires being very intense during this time of August, we were unable to visit the Pina Palace (prohibited) but the guide was able to bounce back for a very interesting visit otherwise. We could have had the opportunity to cancel and be refunded and we were notified well in advance. We preferred to continue this excursion and we were delighted.

La guia Ana, de 10. ENCANTADORA. El microbus muy cómodo y las explicaciones estupendas. La pena es haber perdido la ocasión de ver el Palacio da Pena por el riesgo de incendios, y lo apresurado del resto del tour. En Cascais NO HEMOS VISTO NADA. Solo nos dió tiempo a comer. En Estoril ni siquiera hemos parado ni hemos visto nada de la panorámica. Muy bonito el faro del fin del mundo pero apenas 20min. Sintra lo mismo. Una pena que no esté mejor organizado el tour para no correr tanto y no ver

Our guide, Ana, was a 10. LOVELY. The minibus was very comfortable, and the explanations were excellent. The only shame was that we missed the chance to see the Pena Palace due to the risk of fires, and the rest of the tour was rushed. In Cascais, we didn't see anything. We only had time to eat. In Estoril, we didn't even stop or see anything of the panoramic view. The lighthouse at the end of the world was very beautiful, but it barely lasted 20 minutes. The same with Sintra. It's a shame the tour wasn't better organized, so we didn't have to rush so much and miss the view.

En Cascais se os dá tiempo libre y Estoril no se visita, sino que se ve desde el autobús al volver a Lisboa, como explicamos en la web. Sentimos que no se pudiera visitar el Palácio da Pena por los incendios. Se ha hecho el reembolso correspondiente. Translate this opinion into English.

In Cascais, you'll have free time, and you can't visit Estoril. Instead, you can see it from the bus on the way back to Lisbon, as explained on the website. We're sorry that the Pena Palace couldn't be visited due to the fires. A refund has been issued. Opinion translated. Show original.
