This was an amazing tour with excellent recommendations! Seeing the Regaleira and the pena palace with limited people in them due to the times we went was absolutely amazing. Plus the tickets being included made this so much easier. I highly highly recommend this company.
Our tour of Sintra was just perfection!! Our tour guide, Filipa, was amazing! I highly recommend this tour company and Filipa. She’s extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating. When I come back to Portugal, I will be using Portuguese for a Day and requesting Filipa. She’s so personable. We loved our time either way her.
(…) We were first in line at Pena Palace, getting some amazing pictures and with André providing information as we progressed through. He had a table booked for us at a wonderful lunch venue in Sintra too. He was a delightful tour guide. I can’t imagine a better way to experience Sintra in a day than this. Thanks André.
We had a fantastic day with Andre, he was very knowledgeable and the whole day was something we will remember about our time in Portugal for a very long time . It was worth every penny, this is a must do tour , do not miss out!!! Thank you Portugal for day tours for an awesome experience!!!!
What a lovely day! Andre was the perfect host for our adventure to Sintra. We learned all the pertinent information without being overloaded and shared plenty of laughs. It was a joy of a day. Don’t hesitate, book directly with Portuguese for a Day tours. They’ll help you beat the crowds and leave with lasting memories of a stunning area!
Tour today was wonderful!! Andre was very informative and shared so much good information not only about the tour sites but was very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and its popular sites. He also gave us recommendations on restaurants and things not to miss while we are here, a very good day!!
We are having tea with our pastries and reliving the happy memories of today. We really, really enjoyed meeting you and appreciated all that you shared. We are also very happy you suggested early admission to Pena Palace. It was so worth it! We also loved Regaleira! Both places are a photographer’s paradise. Thank you for being so warm, welcoming and patient. Will definitely recommend you and the tour to others.
Portuguese for a day was the best tour company! Our guide was excellent! He gave us so much insight into the Portuguese history and culture and planned the whole day for a fabulous experience. Highly recommend.
