Dear Famous Day Trips Folks! If you are not really famous, you should be. This is my second wonderful daytrip with you. They have both been Super! Both were with Edgar.

Sintra did not disappoint. The tour offered a great range of secret spots within the Pena Garden and other sites like Cascais. Natasha was a driving god with a good knowledge base (not to mention a good taste in music). Will recommend the tour to all on their way to Lisbon.

My second tour with you (to Obidos/Fatima etc). Again you took me to areas I had not seen before and could not have accessed myself. Tour guide Pedro was excellent guide and very nice person. It was a wonderful day again with this tour. Your tour company chooses very good itineraries for the different areas and being in a small van enables one to do special areas not accessible by the larger buses. Both Pedro and Hugo are a credit to your company. Thanks for a great day.
