          No Map Tours to Sintra! Fabulous!
          A Super Tour. Luis proved to be the guide we hoped for when we booked. A full fact filled day with Luis providing such interesting anecdotes that the time just flew by. We hated to see it end. No Map tours! A+++

          It was an excellent service overall! Pre-reminder emails, follow ups. Comfortable seating. Sandra was on-time, and she was also an excellent driver and tour guide! Very knowledgeable about Portuguese culture and history! Thank you. Highly recommend it.

          Ask about the secret door out of Obidos.
          We wanted the convenience and comfort of a private driver to get from Lisbon to Porto. In the course of our research, we realized we could also work in a stop for lunch and a side trip or two to visit points of interest. We fortunately found No Map Tours. Perfect! Our driver, Luis Oliveira, was at the hotel on time (actually got there early as a precaution). He was professional but also very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The itinerary was left open for us to decided what we wanted to see and do. Lunch was reserved for us due to our travel day being a holiday and restaurants being unusually busy. We had the option, though, of choosing an alternative if we wanted. We didn’t change and were very pleased. All in all, a great ride and a great day.

          Outstanding transportation and touring between Lisbon and Porto
          We traveled with Luis from Lisbon to Porto and then back again several days later. Luis was incredibly informative and a pleasure to be with. We stopped in Obidos and Nazare on the way North and in Coimbra on the way back. He guided us for where to go, helped identify outstanding restaurants, and provided other useful suggestions for our time in Portugal. He also does day tours and we were sorry we didn't have more time with him.

          Excellent!
          It was a day filled with unique architecture, interesting history, and culinary delights. Sandra was a fount of knowledge, and her driving skills are awesome. If getting a car in and out of tight parking spaces was an Olympic skill, Sandra would be a gold medalist. The food was memorably good, from the morning lactose-free pastry to the amazing seafood lunch by the ocean. Thank you, Sandra, for a fantastic tour.

          A Day to Remember with Pleasure
          My custom tour of Cascais was expertly carried out by Sandra. I enjoyed my visit to the market, the Boca do Inferno, the Condes de Castro Guimarães house museum, the Casa de Santa Maria, and the lighthouse. Despite a very restorative lunch at a Portuguese restaurant, and a delicious lactose-free ice-cream, I did not have the stamina to fully explore the Museu do Mar Rei Dom Carlos I, and I needed to take a nap instead of going to the Citadela de Cascais artisan centre. I loved hearing Sandra’s stories about the unique houses in and around Cascais, and their famous (or infamous) occupants, and learning about the history of the area. Sandra’s driving was impeccable, and I felt very safe in her vehicle. Also, my thanks to Sandra for an unscheduled, early-morning stop at the Tower of Belem, which I had missed seeing the day before due to over-crowding. I thoroughly recommend both Sandra and No Map Tours.

          This trip is a MUST!
          We spent an amazing day with Luis at Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca, in Sintra and Cascais. Luis’ knowledge of the history, stories, and details of these areas is unmatched. He was such an incredible guide and was sure to help us explore a few gems off the beaten path. He is so kind, friendly and has an amazing energy! He even helped us select the perfect spot for lunch. Thank you for an incredible day and helping us to create memories that will last a lifetime!

          Fantastic! Sandra was a fabulous guide; friendly, cheerful and incredibly knowledgeable! The Palace was extraordinary and wonderful! In Caiscais we had a delicious lunch and a lovely wonder around the town and along the seafront. Loved it!

          Wonderful Day at Sintra, Cascais, and Pena Palace
          Sandra gave my wife and me a wonderful tour of Pena Palace, Sintra, and Cascais. Her knowledge of the area and its history was very impressive. She accompanied us on the tour of the palace and had great insights. She also gave us great recommendations for pastries in Sintra and lunch in Cascais. Very highly recommended.

          So glad we booked this tour!
          Highly recommend this tour and in particular our guide Sandra. I was struggling with how to plan our day in Sintra when a friend shared that she had a very positive tour experience with No Map Tours. So glad we went ahead and booked. From the first inquiry, everything was very professional. Sandra was knowledgeable and planned a fun and full day for us. Absolutely worth the price to be first in line at Pena Palace to enjoy without the throngs of people.

          Wonderful day with Luis!
          A wonderful day. Luis Olivieros was our driver and guide for the day. He provided a fantastic experience for us. We appreciated how accommodating he was with our wishes. All of the background and historical information he gave about the sites we visited and Portugal in general was very interesting. He was easy to understand. The vehicle for our transfer tour was very comfortable. We would highly recommend No Map Tours- request Luis.

          Absolutely outstanding!
          A second fabulous day with Sandra! Given the crowds that flock to Sintra, having an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and organized guide was invaluable. All of our questions were answered well in advance of our travels, and a custom itinerary allowed us to fit in all that we were interested in. Our action packed day took us to the Pena Palace, Sintra town, Regaleira and the Castle of the Moors. Rather than simply "seeing", we listened and learned more than we could have on our own. Sandra's knowledge is second to none! A truly invaluable experience that we highly recommend. Thank you, Sandra! Our tours with you were the best part of our three week Portugal adventure.

          Outstanding day in Evora!
          A fabulous day with Sandra! Her knowledge and enthusiasm brought this magical place alive. Rather than simply "seeing", we listened and learned more than we could have on our own. It was helpful to arrive early, before the most popular sites were crowded. We appreciated the lunch reservation, which allowed us to take a break and then continue in a timely fashion. Sandra possesses a wealth of knowledge, about Evora and Portugal in general, answering all of our questions and more. Learning about the locally made crafts was very helpful. A truly invaluable experience that we highly recommend. Thank you, Sandra!

          Our tour with Sandra and No Map Tours was amazing! She picked us up at the cruise port on time..early actually. She took us to some incredible sites and was very good at explaining all the history! We learned a lot! The tarts in Belém were delicious and we are so thankful we were able to try them. You can’t go wrong booking with No Map Tours.

          Perfect day tour to Sintra and Cascais
          Cannot say enough great things about this tour. Highly highly recommend Luis! He was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. As many people noted in other reviews— I felt like we were one step ahead of the crowds (which is legit no joke…so so many people) to where we were just getting out as hoards of people were coming in. Luis is so knowledgeable about the history and felt like we could appreciate everything so much more knowing the background. We started the day at the Pena Palace, then had plenty of time to grab a pastry and the cherry liquor that Luis recommended in historic Sintra. Then we headed to the most western edge of Europe which was an amazing view. After that we went to Cascais which was picturesque and had a fantastic lunch at a spot that Luis recommended. The entire day felt well organized but not rushed. This tour is a must do from Lisbon and made our experience in Lisbon that much better. Will recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Lisbon!

        Great day from Lisbon to the Monasteries, Sandra was great! Very knowledgable, passionate, and a fun tour guide! She shared tons of history, facts, and stories and was happy to thoroughly answer all our questions. The whole day was very relaxing, starting with a welcome at our own doorstep to front door drop-off. Would book again :)

        This was made much easier by our guide, Sandra, absolutely amazing.

        The tour was at a good pace with excellent historical and cultural knowledge.

        The whole process and communicating was so easy. Thanks Sandra...

        Sandra is a great guide and wonderful companion for this tour. Her love of history and Portugal shine through. She answered our so many questions and provided great recommendations for our time in Portugal.

        It's a first rate tour and a great way to see these 3 stunning monasteries in one day. You will never see a church or monastery the same after all the knowledge she shares with you. A welcoming host, Sandra puts you at ease from the moment you say hello to the end of the day. If you even considering this tour, please do it. You won't regret it.

        Our family of five adults (two seniors and three adult children) went with Sandra on a private tour of the Convento di Cristo, Batalha and Alcobaca. We were really impressed and would book with No Map Tours again in a heartbeat!

        The private, clean and comfortable air conditioned van made for a comfortable journey. Sandra was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Her presentations had the perfect mix of humor and interesting facts about history and art/architecture. She was very accommodating to our requests and had a great suggestion for lunch. It was well worth the money spent and we really wish we had booked her for our previous day trip to Sintra. Thanks so much for fantastic day!
