Outstanding tour of Sintra! Estela was a superb guide - very knowledgeable, organized, and full of fun and interesting facts which made the venues come alive and kept our family group of six totally engaged!
Without having both an excellent guide and a separate driver, it would not have been possible to tour the main sights in Sintra all in one day from Lisbon. The crowds and traffic seemed overwhelming at times, but the tour was very well planned and timed to enable us to spend sufficient time visiting Pena Palace before it got too crowded. We also managed to avoid overly long lines at the Quinta da Regaleira, had a nice lunch in town, then finished off with an interesting tour of the National Palace.
We would take another tour with Estela any time - she has such a nice way about her, and made the tour so interesting! Our driver was very professional and knew quite a bit about the area as well.

Estela is an EXCELLENT guide! So knowledgeable about the history, architecture, art and even food of the Palace and its surroundings in Sintra -- we had a terrific day with her! I would *highly* recommend her to anyone wanting to explore this part of Portugal!

Raquel E. Is a rockstar amongst guides. She is knowledgeable, passionate about Portugal, and intuitively capable of constructing a fascinating narrative. Really, who could ask for more?
