“We did the tour on our own and enjoyed it without audio as it is too dangerous to be distracted with your phone. It is an amazing place that takes you back. I’m 62 back and neck issues . I was able to do the stairs and walks slowly and carefully. The wind was really blowing and felt at times worth hanging on. It is not for the meak or children or older people with any balance issues. I was worn out after but worth it. Good walking shoes hat that won’t fly away, no dresses . No food or drink around you may want a snack or water. Highly…”

“Poor! Your website is confusing and not user-friendly. We booked what was advertised as a “tour”, expecting a live person to meet us at the given “meeting location” and “specified time”. Nobody arrived! After calling and messaging on WhatsApp, we were told it was actually a self-guided audio tour. The audio did not even start at the meeting point, and it was extremely unclear which recordings matched which sites and where to start. We ended up wandering around aimlessly trying to guess where each track applied. In frustration, I turned it off and explored on my own. The biggest waste of money ever!”

We had a wonderful day visiting Sintra and all the palaces. Monir also took us to lots of amazing photo opportunities on our way home and a delicious restaurant for lunch. He is the best driver we have ever had and we would highly recommend him to everyone!”
