Private Full Day Tour in Sintra - Charm and romantism
“Amazing day in Sintra”
We had a great day on our tour of Sintra. Duarte was not our guide which was a surprise but Joao did a really nice job. At his recommendation we toured the inside of the Queluz Palace and the outside of the Pena Palace since the lines at the Pena Palace can be quite long and would have taken up too much time. The only thing we didn't like was Joao tried to sell us more tours when we returned to Lisbon.

Duarte was very helpful, patient and reassuring from the time we booked the tour until he dropped us off at the end of the day. He understood our family's needs, remained flexible and provided suggestions on different sights that mom was more interested to visit. Thank you Duarte for a wonderful, spiritual & insightful day!
