Cintra is spectacular but Francisco is more so with his picturesque Italian showed us the beauties of his Portugal which, thanks to him, has also become a little ours. His great culture and love for his country made our stay unforgettable
Maria explained many curiosities and gave us a lot of information. It made our trip exceed expectations. He also advised us routes to take advantage of our short stay and things to do if or if. If we come back, we'll repeat for sure
Francisco is very helpful, he gave us lots of info and he did everything to facilitate us entry to the different places visited in Sintra because there were 6 of us with additional wheelchair. In short, we couldn't find a nicer one! A very nice meeting!!
Maria was the most! Amazing to meet Sintra with her. I really recommend it. He also took care to recommend us before, during and after. You know all the details!
We chose both proposed tour options and we were very satisfied also because Francisco (who spoke a decent Italian) in addition to being a friendly and prepared guide, was able to involve us also by proposing an unusual glimpse of the magnificent Cabo da Rocha. In particular, it was fun to stop to give carrots to a cute donkey. Francisco was always available to make additional stops to take pictures and at our request directed us to a couple of non-tourist trattorias in Lisbon where we had a great time. We thank him and recommend him as a great professional.
Very cool place, which surprises, we liked the whole family and Francisco guided us, informed and played photographer making us have a great day.
We did this tour with francisco, very helpful person, nice and attentive to customer requests.He speaks Italian and that helped a lot.Highly recommended
We just had a small group tour around the palaces and castles of Sintra. Our guide, Maria, was very friendly and knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. She took us around each site, stopped at several viewpoints and then gave us advice on what to see at each site but let us tour the palaces at our own pace. The whole day was tailored for what we were most interested in. Pena Palace and Regaleira are particularly unique and should not be missed! Took us to excellent places for morning coffee and pastries and lunch.
We were looking for someone who knew Sintra, speaks English, has their own car and has a pleasant personality. We found all of this in Maria. Highly recommended.
Maria Fatima is an excellent tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable about Portuguese history and culture. Her explanations were very clear and she patiently answered all of our questions in great detail. She spent about 6 hours with us and drove us to see various beautiful sights including the westernmost point in Europe. Plus, she was very friendly had a great sense of humor.
Tivemos o melhor dia de visita de Sintra com Maria. Ela foi além e além para fazer o dia todo divertido e fácil... vimos tudo o que queria ver e não precisamos se preocupar com nada! Ela é informada, amigável e gentil. Recomendo fortemente seus passeios, e com prazer vou fazer outro passeio com ela novamente.
Um passeio encantador, muito bom para evitar os ônibus movimentados e obter informações sobre o palácio e outros sites que fomos passando. Maria foi muito simpática e útil, dando boas informações sobre a cidade.
Fomos muito felizes com nossos guias turísticos. Eles levaram muito esforço para nos fazer ver Portugal. Eles foram muito informativos e animados para nos mostrar tudo o que puderam em um dia. Eles também foram muito pacientes com o nosso grande grupo. Pararam quando precisávamos. Houve momentos em que eu não pude fazer partes da turnê e devo dizer que eles foram muito acolhedores para isso também. Gostaria que tivéssemos tempo para compras. Nós mulheres teríamos adorado isso. No geral devo dizer que a experiência foi muito boa. Muito esforço foi feito para mostrar a cultura portuguesa. Recomendo esta empresa a qualquer pessoa que visite Portugal.
Maria e sua equipe levaram muito tempo para personalizar o passeio às nossas necessidades. Eles estavam sempre a tempo, o transporte era muito confortável.
Maria era muito adorável e tão acolhedor! Ela era knowledgable e nos deu dicas úteis para o nosso tempo em Sintra. Também grande diversão estar em um convertible ensolarado!
