Jewish Lisbon Private Historical Walking Tour (3h)

Last summer, both me and my wif did the Best of Lisbon and the Golden Triangle Private Tour. Sharp on time, our guide arrived at our hotel and brought us on a modern Mercedes minivan to see the highlights of the city. Second day, we saw Sintra and the castles. JUST AMAZING!
It was the most wonderful tour I have taken. Spectacular tour guide, friendly, knowledgeable and educated, it was the highlight of my trip to Portugal and Spain.
Thank you Sintra Magik and all staff for all help and assistance on bringing my family for a trip to Portugal this year. Always prompt replies, and tailoring the tours to our interests. We had seniors on the group, and our guide was able to customize every single stop for us. Thank you so much once again.
I booked one week of private tours for my family, after a week cruising around Spain and Italy. The minibus was comfortable, and with great driver. Our tour guide was fantastic, and we loved each moment of this week spent with Sintra Magik. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Lisbon.
