A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourAntonio picked us up from our hotel and drove us out to Sintra so we could explore the palaces. Antonio is very generous with his time and knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in visiting Sintra and the history of the region. Antonio is very kind and charismatic and we spent a very pleasurable day in his company. He took very good care of us all day and we appreciated his recommendation for lunch as well.
