What a wonderful day spent exploring around Sintra and Cascais. Rute was the perfect combination of knowledge, humor and personality, sharing insights about places, culture and history. Ending the day with a story and a shared gelato was the perfect conclusion to a memorable adventure. Recommend without reservation.

Overall, this was an enjoyable and well-organized tour, and Pedro was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city. The stops were thoughtfully chosen, and we appreciated the opportunity to explore neighborhoods we may not have discovered on our own. That said, Pedro leaned more heavily into history and architecture than expected for a food-focused experience. While the context provided was interesting, we would have preferred a better balance between storytelling and the culinary aspect of the tour. In particular, it would have enhanced the experience to receive more detailed descriptions of the food before tasting—such as ingredients, preparation methods, cultural significance, or what to notice in terms of flavor and texture. This would have created a more immersive and educational food experience, rather than feeling secondary to the historical narrative. Overall, a good tour with a strong guide, but those primarily interested in the food itself may find themselves wanting a bit more depth and focus on the culinary side.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Ze today! Ze was very kind and extremely knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting. He was very engaging and had so many anecdotes that kept all of us, including our 12 year old son, engaged the entire time. Ze pointed out several interesting facts throughout our walk. We truly enjoyed our tour today. It was the perfect way to see the monuments and monastary in an efficient and educational way. Thank you!
