My wife and I had a fantastic trip to Sintra led by Filipa. We left Lisbon around 7:50 and when we got to Sintra realized how important it was to get an early start. When we arrived, the little village was just waking but within an hour was getting pretty crowded... and by 11 or so, was packed with new people constantly arriving. Filipa was amazing. She easily navigated the situation so that we had a smooth and positive experience. The greatest value added, though, was her extensive knowledge of the area and its history and her ability to convey it in interesting stories. It was impossible to stump her with questions...lol...she knew it all. Even our drive out and back was enjoyable as we talked about life in Portugal (....and her recommendation for a restaurant that evening was very good). We highly recommend this tour and Filipa as a guide.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND PORTUGUESE FOR A DAY TOURS. Filipa was a phenomenal tour guide! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Portugal in general, is very engaging and personable. The tour was an incredibly well planned experience. Filipa provided the perfect insight throughout the tour and was very patient and flexible throughout. Every minute and detail was expertly planned. Overall an excellent experience, would highly recommend to anyone desiring to take a day trip outside of Lisbon! Would highly recommend Portuguese for a Day Tours to anyone!

Decided to book Private Tour to Sintra last minute after hearing all about it. Got lucky that Portuguese for a Day opened the option up just a day before, as they were unsure the tour would proceed as there was an Ironman competition in Sintra the day before. Filipa was our Guide and she's also the owner of the tour company. She knows her way around SIntra that's for sure! All of it was great. The Guide, the sites we saw, the history we learned. We had a great time!

This private tour was excellent and our tour guide Filipa was brilliant. It was essential to pre-book online an entry time early into the Pena Palacio. It is very crowded but Filipa helped to get us around and told us all about the various elements in the Palacio. On the way back she went well over the time of the tour to allow us to have a good lunch in Cascais.

I always do my research, book a tour and then hope for the best. I highly recommend you book a tour with Portuguese for a Day, because you will not have to hope for the best. We were picked up at our hotel right on time in a very nice van. Our guide was Filipa and she was amazing! She is very personable and easy to chat with. She has a degree in tourism and a wealth of knowledge about all things Portugal! We arrived at Pena Palace ahead of all of the crowds. We exited the palace and saw the hoards of people waiting in line to get in. We went to Sintra where she recommended a great little bakery, we enjoyed a delicious treat. We were not scheduled to go to the Quinta da Regaleria, but in talking with us, Filipa realized that we would really like to see it. She changed the intinerary on a dime, quickly made adjustments to get us tickets. We thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciated all of her efforts to make it happen. We continued on to the Western most point of Europe for a stop. Beautiful ocean views and scenic route back to Lisbon. I am amazed at all that she was able to show us in a day. The early start time of the day is key to the perfectly timed tour that is so well thought out and executed. We had an incredible time and wonderful memories!
