What people are saying about Sintra
For starters our experience was great and our guide José was spectacular. Unfortunately our wine tasting was canceled due to the fact they weren't open. But on the flip side José went above and beyond and even gave us a bottle of wine at the end as a genuine gift. Which was just a cherry on top.
