The gentleman was very well dressed and full of information. He wanted to know what we wanted to do--we thought the tour was planned. We spent over 2.5 hours of the 4 in the car. This tour needs to be more specific on what your going to see.

Tour was great. Hugo was nice and knowledgeable. The car and ride were very comfortable. It was great to be able to customize our experience as we wished throughout the day
-
The trip was amazing! Our guide Diego Souza was very knowledgeable and was able to show us a lot in very a relatively short time. He was very kind and the fact that he speaks Spanish was a plus!
-
Our guide was wonderful and gave us a tour of Sintra that exceeded our expectations. He was so knowledgeable and thoughtful. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour!

This half day tour packs in a lot of sights. Really enjoyed the beautiful city of of Sintra, Caiscais and seeing the westernmost point of Portugal. If you are looking to get into all the castles, you'll need to plan for a longer tour than this one but for us, this was a great way to cover a lot of ground quickly and without the stress of having to figure out the stops ourselves.

We had a lovely afternoon and our host Paulo was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgable. The tour did include much more driving than we had originally anticipated but this was okay, as the vehicle was very comfortable and cool and we got to see Sintra where we stopped for 1 hour to visit inside the palace. Then we got to see Cascais and our highlight was the most westerly point in Europe, it was a beautiful sight. I think knowing what I know now, if we had the time doing this trip in the full day would be much better and less jam packed however I had time constraints with my group so we still managed to fit a lot, see a lot and grab a lot of photos in a short space of time. I also now know if I go back to Lisbon which I will, what areas I would like to go to, stay in etc so we got a very good insight into the neighbouring regions as well. But overall, feel great value for money.

Our driver/guide (Nuno) was FANTASTIC!!! Professional, on-time, knowledgeable…he knew how to navigate the crowds/lines and he even helped us get tickets to the various sites. Our tour vehicle (a Mercedes van) looked brand new. We will definitely book through Viator in the future!

You could just Uber to Sintra. This package is expensive and they do not book any sights. We rushed to book once in the car and Peña Palace was sold out. What exactly is the product here? The driver himself was great but terrible communication by Viator ruined the trip.

We couldn’t have made the trip to Sintra without Hugo. We only had time for a half day visit, so we booked a four hour private transport excursion. We had no idea how crowded and challenging it would be to visit Pena Palace — we didn’t know we had to book tours in advance. Hugo had great recommendations—first he helped us book same day tickets for Pena Palace at a kiosk with no line, and he recommended we visit the Palace of Queluz first, while we waited for our timed entry to Pena Palace. Queluz wasn’t even on our radar—it was FANTASTIC. We’re so glad we didn’t miss it—it wasn’t crowded at all, and the audio guide app was excellent. So after our amazing visit to Queluz, Hugo drove us to Pena Palace. What a pain in the butt to get there!!! It was so nice to have a knowledgeable driver—Hugo managed the timing for us, told us where to go for the tram, and how we could reach him when we were done with the tour. It was a madhouse! But with tips from Hugo, it all went surprisingly smoothly. Pena Palace is a MUST SEE attraction if you’re staying anywhere near Lisbon. And, if you need to schedule your visit for a half day, Hugo is the best person to help you do it.

A very relaxing, beautiful and informative tour. I highly recommend the private tour for people who want a more personalized and efficient tour. You’re able to see all the important sites but without the waiting times and lines of large group tours. Carlos our driver was amazing & had so much great information to share about the area and history.
