Cecilia was super friendly and knowledgeable, entertaining us with interesting stories that covered history, architectures and literature. She has a natural inclination for storytelling one can only appreciate. highly recommend tour as you can enjoy the palace alone while it is still close to the public. thanks Cecilia

I wholeheartedly recommend Cecilia, our tour guide from Walks City Experience, who led us on a private tour of Pena Palace, Cascais, and Sintra. Our day with her was an absolute highlight of our time in Portugal.<br />From the moment we met her, Cecilia impressed us with her warm personality, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the regions history, architecture, and culture. At Pena Palace, she brought the site to life with fascinating stories and insights that made us see the palace through the eyes of those who once lived there. Her ability to share information in an engaging, accessible, and enthusiastic way made the experience both educational and unforgettable.<br />Beyond her expertise, Cecilia went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our day ran smoothly. She was attentive to our interests, adjusted the pace perfectly, and offered great local recommendations. Our driver was also excellentpunctual, courteous, and skilledmaking the journey between Sintra and Cascais comfortable and enjoyable.<br />Thanks to Cecilia and the Walks City Experience team, we had an exceptional day discovering some of Portugals most beautiful sights.

We booked an early access to see Pena Palace and Sintra. We were surprised to be the only guests on this tour and we got to see the palace before anyone was allowed in. Thank you, Anastasia for taking good care of us during the tour. Every bit of the tour was amazing. Another reason why we always book our tours with Walks.
