Beautiful day to hike in the Sintra Natural Park. Our guide Pedro was so informative not only about the forest and nature of the area but a lot of Portugal history overall.

My wife and I vacationed in Cascais earlier this month. It was our first trip to Portugal, and we wanted to see more than the immediate area around our hotel. So we tried this tour of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, even though we are not regular hikers. We had the most wonderful time. Our guide, Pedro, could not have been more kind, informative or helpful. The area we visited was as beautiful as it was peaceful and interesting. We took a TON of pictures. We also peppered Pedro with questions on a myriad of topics and he was very gracious in responding to them all. On many tours, there is little flexibility. On this tour, it was all about what would be of most interest to us. Pedro also recognized our limits as hikers, and adjusted the tour to make sure we were comfortable at all times. We also enjoyed a nice snack overlooking some beautiful views of the coastline. And on the way back to our hotel, a side trip was provided to see some spots in Cascais that we would never have stumbled upon by ourselves. What a wonderful and light-hearted experience. I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough. We were so impressed with our experience, that the following day we took another Pipefly tour to Sintra. Ana Lucia is a terrific guide, who ensured that we had a most memorable day touring a castle of the Moors, the amazing Monserrate Palace, and the surrounding environs of Sintra. A full day tour that went by in a beautiful flash. Thank you so much, Ana Lucia!!
