Disgusted by unprofessional Tour Operator. Stay away!
Nightmare! STAY AWAY from this operator ‘Yes Experiences Portugal’ and unprofessional tour guide Nidia. If I could leave 0 stars I would! This operator cancelled two back to back tours we had scheduled two days in a row, just a few hours before the actual tours. This Sintra & Cascais tour and a Private Troia & Comporta tour were both cancelled. This operator ruined our entire Portugal experience. They cancelled just a few hours before our tours, leaving no opportunity to schedule any other bookings these two days. We tried to schedule other tours, but they were too last minute and nothing was available. They wasted two+ full days of our already very short trip to Portugal. There were 7 of us flying in from different US states just to participate in these tours. The operator acted unprofessionally, cancelled and wasted our time and money flying to Portugal for nothing. We will not be returning to Portugal and we hope other visitors stay away from this operator. Worst experience ever. Disgusting treatment of our group. Stay away. They don’t deserve your money or time!
Response from the operator: I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Our account was hacked, and for several months we were not the ones properly accessing or managing it. After changing the credentials for security reasons, we also lost partial access to account notifications, which meant that some reservations and messages were not visible to us in time. This was not intentional and does not reflect our normal standard of service. The issue has now been corrected, the account has been secured, and we have taken steps to prevent this from happening again. We have also asked the platform to review these comments, as they relate to a security and technical issue outside of our control. Again, I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. Kind regards,

5 Star Service - Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My mom and I had the absolute pleasure of touring Portugal with Miguel, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide! From the moment we met him, his warm personality and infectious humor made us feel right at home. Miguel's knowledge of Portugal's history, culture, and scenic spots is truly impressive. He took us to breathtaking locations we wouldn't have discovered on our own and arranged delightful wine tastings that were the highlight of our trip. We laughed so much throughout the tour, making wonderful memories that we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a tour guide who is funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, Miguel is your guy! Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience touring Portugal with Miguel! We're thrilled to hear that you and your mom had such a fantastic time. It's great to know that Miguel's warm personality and humor made you feel right at home. His deep knowledge of Portugal's history and culture really shines through, and we're glad he could introduce you to those breathtaking locations and memorable wine tastings. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re sure it will help others who are looking for an amazing tour guide. Thanks again for your kind words, and we hope to see you back in Portugal for more adventures in the future! Safe travels! Kindest regards, YesExperiences Portugal

Excellent Lisbon Tour
Nidia was very knowledgeable and a joy to spend a day with! She was also very flexible when we changed the plan on her mid-tour. We highly recommend her for tours in Lisbon and the surrounding area.

Great personalized tour of Lisbon area.
Had amazing tour for the day. Lots of sites seen. Awesome pictures. The morning started with pastries and coffee—had queijadas de Sintra and travesseiros de Sintra. Delicious. We visited Sintra, Pena Palace, Azenhas do Mar where we had lunch. It was great as the owner made the experience very special and talked about his paintings that decorated the restaurant. The food, drink, and atmosphere was great. We also went to Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. Nidia was great and gave lots of information and history. She has great passion for her country and giving visitors a unique experience. I highly recommend her. I have tried other tours in Rome and Athens with large groups with limited information given and very generic and not personalized at all. Opting for a local and private tour with Nidia was a great decision.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Sintra & Cascais Tour from Lisbon – Hidden Gems & Wine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
