We did the half day private tour with 7 friends and Jose was our guide. The trip was absolutely amazing and he showed us some beautiful hidden gems of Sintra. We went to Quinta de Regaleira, shopping in downtown Sintra, and made multiple beach stops. Jose did an absolutely amazing job of explaining history to the group when we were in the car and also did a great job tailoring the trip for what our group wanted to see/do. I would recommend this highly for anyone who only has a half day to spend in Sintra!

This was a wonderful tour. Our guide Jose Ribeiro was brilliant: flexible, cheerful and incredibly knowledgeable about his beloved country, its glorious imperial past, dark republican dictatorship, and modern cosmopolitan democracy. While we signed up for a half day, the tour went several hours over and well beyond Sintra according to priorities our family group set with Jose’s guidance. We saw many things we would never have seen on our own and avoided long lines. The Pena Palace in particular requires guidance to understand its complicated history, symbolism and context. Jose made it sizzle. Highly recommend.

We got to see “Hell’s Mouth”, Cascais, Peña Palace, historic Sintra and Cabo da Roca. José went above and beyond, giving us extra time to make sure we got the most “complete” day possible out of our half day tour. He gave us wonderful perspectives on history, architecture, symbolism and his own life story which is just as fascinating! Would highly recommend as a small group or as a couple. He truly gave us a magical day in Sintra and let us help decide what we wanted to prioritize. Highly recommend asking for him if you’re taking a Lisbon on Wheels tour!

My 10 year old daughter and I booked a half day tour w Jose. He was the perfect tour guide: super sweet, flexible and knowledgeable. He tailored our tour and went out of his way to show us places off the beaten path. He did not go by the clock at all. Our half day tour ended up almost a full day tour. 10 stars!!!

We had a wonderful tour with Jose! It was my husband and I and our three kids (including a one year old) and he zipped us up and through Peña palace, took pictures, made jokes, showed us a great cafe, went to Cabo da Racos and Hells mouth and had us back in Lisbon city center by 1:30. A fantastic day!

José was extremely knowledgeable, very flexible and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better person to show us all these historical sites and provide the context to help us appreciate it more.

We had such an excellent tour of Sintra and greater Lisbon with our expert tour guide, Jose Ribiero. Jose was energetic and extremely knowledgeable on the history of Lisbon and Portugal. Touring with Jose is special because you get a local's insider knowledge on Portugal and he was able to show us sights off the beaten path that we would have never found otherwise. One particularly cool thing we checked out was an apple and grape orchard near the coast. Jose promised us it was like none we had ever seen before and he did not disappoint. We even picked some of the apples and took them to our hotel later, where the hotel chef was able to make us a custom dessert.
I would highly recommend Jose and Lisbon on Wheels to anyone visiting Lisbon.
