Actividad completa, entretenida y educativa. Desde luego merece la pena si visitas Lisboa, te olvidas de coche y te dejas llevar por los paisajes y la historia de la mano de Civitatitas, en este caso nuestra guía CAMILA, chilena de nacimiento, con amplios conocimientos tanto de la historia como de la vegetación y buenos consejos de dónde picar algo. Translate this opinion into English.

A comprehensive, entertaining, and educational activity. It's definitely worthwhile if you're visiting Lisbon. Forget about the car and let yourself be swept away by the landscapes and history, guided by Civitatitas. In this case, our guide Camila, a Chilean native, has extensive knowledge of both the history and vegetation, and offers great tips on where to grab a bite. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy recomendable. La excursión es cara pero merece la pena por la comodidad del transporte, Marco es un chófer muy profesional y por la explicaciones de Robinson, nuestro guía, de todos los lugares visitados. Los tiempos son adecuados, no quitaría ni estaría más. Además, Robinson nos hizo muy buenas recomendaciones para el tiempo libre en Sintra. Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended. The excursion is expensive but worth it for the comfort of the transportation, Marco is a very professional driver and for the explanations from Robinson, our guide, about all the places visited. The timing is appropriate, I wouldn't take away or add more. Additionally, Robinson gave us very good recommendations for free time in Sintra. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guia Robinson muy bueno y hablaba español contaba muchas cosas y daba tiempo de descanso tanto en el bus como en los sitios, lo dejaba todo organizado y con indicaciones de baños y comidas,el guia un 10, el bus muy bueno, aire acondicionado y muy limpio y buen conductor, la excursión bien pero solo merece la pena si te sobran dias en lisboa, es poco los castillos no son abiertos y algunos solo una habitación recreado, no es cómo las fotos esta masificado imposible hacerte una foto tu solo. Translate this opinion into English.

Robinson, our guide, was excellent and spoke Spanish. He shared many interesting details and provided ample rest time both on the bus and at the sites. He left everything organized, including directions for restrooms and meals. The guide was a 10/10. The bus was very good, with air conditioning, and very clean, and the driver was excellent. The excursion was good, but only worthwhile if you have extra days in Lisbon. The castles aren't open to the public, and some only feature a recreated room. It's not like the photos; it's incredibly crowded, making it impossible to take a picture alone. Opinion translated. Show original.

A mis compañeros y a mi nos ha gustado mucho este tour, ya que nos parece muy interesante. Además Iván, nuestro guía, nos ha mantenido con atención gracias a sus conocimientos de historia y a su simpatía andaluza. Nos hemos reído mucho con sus explicaciones y ha sido un día fantástico aunque también muy intenso a nivel físico. 100% recomendable realizarlo con mucha energía y sobretodo con Iván, ya que pasareis un gran día. Translate this opinion into English.

My colleagues and I really enjoyed this tour; we found it very interesting. Furthermore, Iván, our guide, kept us engaged thanks to his knowledge of history and his Andalusian charm. We laughed a lot at his explanations, and it was a fantastic day, although also quite physically demanding. I highly recommend doing it with plenty of energy, especially with Iván, as you'll have a great time. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía Ricardo fue fantástico pero es una excursión demasiado larga para lo que es. Cascais, lo ves desde el bus, ni paras, por tanto no se debería ni anunciar. Cabo de Roca, es literal una parada a ver un acantilado de 30 min, como bajes al baño o comprar agua, con la cola que se forma, no lo ves y tampoco ofrece nada más, es un acantilado. Palacio da Pena, sobrevalorado y masificado, no se disfruta por la cantidad de gente, pero tienes que verlo, Quinta de Regaleira, genial. Sintra, sin más.

Our guide Ricardo was fantastic, but the tour is far too long for what it is. Cascais is practically invisible from the bus; you don't even stop, so it shouldn't even be advertised. Cabo da Roca is literally a 30-minute stop to admire a cliff. If you get off to use the restroom or buy water, with the long queue, you won't see it, and it doesn't offer much else—it's just a cliff. Pena Palace is overrated and overcrowded; you can't enjoy it because of the crowds, but you have to see it. Quinta da Regaleira is amazing. Sintra is just okay.

Primero quiero hablar de Pedro, nuestro guía. Casi todos mis comentarios positivos van a él. Resolvió todos los problemas que nos surgieron en el viaje en cuanto a logística. Sintra y la quinta da regaleira son una maravilla. Recomiendo contratar la excursión al completo porque la logística de allí es horrible. Ni llevando las cosas contratadas es fácil de acceder. Civitatis no informa bien de que necesitas obligatoriamente un bus lanzadera para acceder al palacio de la pena a parte del precio. Translate this opinion into English.

First, I want to talk about Pedro, our guide. Almost all my positive comments are for him. He resolved all the logistical problems we encountered during the trip. Sintra and Quinta da Regaleira are wonderful. I recommend booking the entire tour because the logistics there are terrible. Even with pre-booked services, access isn't easy. Civitatis doesn't properly inform you that you absolutely need a shuttle bus to access Pena Palace, which is separate from the tour price. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo genial. Cascais, Cabo da Roca y Sintra nos han encantado. La excursión merece mucho la pena. Nosotros solos no hubiéramos conseguido ver ni la mitad. Las explicaciones de Pedro han sido estupendas, y su amabilidad y cercanía lo más. Muy atentos con todos los del grupo. Se agracdece mucho un guía así. Muchas gracias por todo. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was fantastic. We loved Cascais, Cabo da Roca, and Sintra. The excursion was definitely worth it. We wouldn't have been able to see half of it on our own. Pedro's explanations were excellent, and his kindness and approachability were the best. He was very attentive to everyone in the group. A guide like that is truly appreciated. Thank you so much for everything. Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo recomiendo 100%, aunque el día se hace pesado por las cuestas que hay que subir y bajar. Nuestro guía Pedro lo explicaba todo muy bien. Además, estuvo en todo momento muy atento al grupo y, solo por eso, ya es una experiencia que merece la pena vivir. Muy profesional e importante también el trabajo de nuestro conductor Marcos. No obstante, como el paso por Cascais es testimonial yo no lo vendería como una opción con visita a Cascais. Translate this opinion into English.

I highly recommend it, although the day can be tiring due to the hills you have to climb and descend. Our guide, Pedro, explained everything very well. He was also very attentive to the group at all times, and for that reason alone, it's an experience worth having. Our driver, Marcos, also did a very professional and important job. However, since the stop in Cascais is only brief, I wouldn't recommend it as a tour that includes a visit to Cascais. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guia Pedro fue muy atento y familiar sin duda hizo que la actividad fuera divertida e interesante. Las explicaciones que dio fueron amenas y la excursión estuvo bien organizada. Hubo que caminar bastante,pero no por culpa de la organización sino por culpa de unos cambios en Sintra que no dejaban pasar los autocares.Lo cual puede hacer que para personas con movilidad reducida sea complicado. Por lo demás muy recomendable sin duda. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Pedro, was very attentive and friendly; he definitely made the activity fun and interesting. His explanations were engaging, and the excursion was well-organized. There was quite a bit of walking involved, but not due to the organizers' fault, but rather because of some road changes in Sintra that prevented coaches from passing. This could make it difficult for people with reduced mobility. Otherwise, it's highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Gita molto intensa con un sacco di cose da vedere. Antonella, la guida che abbiamo avuto, è stata bravissima a raccontare la storia dei reali.

Antonella è una guida eccezionale. Ha una conoscenza approfondita e dettagliata della storia del Portogallo, che trasmette con molta passione ma anche in modo simpatico e coinvolgente. Il tour è abbastanza impegnativo per i diversi spostamenti da fare sia con i mezzi sia a piedi, ma la giornata è stata piacevole e la stanchezza non si è assolutamente sentita. Se dovete fare una vacanza a Lisbona vi consiglio di affidarvi alla sua competenza e simpatia. Translate this opinion into English.

Antonella is an exceptional guide. She has a deep and detailed knowledge of Portuguese history, which she conveys with great passion but also in a friendly and engaging way. The tour is quite demanding due to the various transfers required, both by public transport and on foot, but the day was enjoyable and I was completely comfortable. If you're planning a vacation in Lisbon, I highly recommend her expertise and friendliness. Opinion translated. Show original.

Los guías Sabio y Mafalda son estupendos, menuda lección de historia y filosofía nos han dado en 10 horas. Aspectos a mejorar: me hubiera gustado poder disfrutar de más tiempo para ver los castillos. También he de destacar que el precio es algo desorbitado, además hay que añadir los casi 4€ más por el bus local para poder subir hacia los Palacios. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guides, Sabio and Mafalda, are fantastic; they gave us an incredible lesson in history and philosophy in just 10 hours. Areas for improvement: I would have liked to have had more time to see the castles. I also have to point out that the price is rather exorbitant, and you also have to add almost €4 more for the local bus to get up to the Palaces. Opinion translated. Show original.
