Excellent tour.

Our tour of Sintra with Jose was an absolute highlight of our trip to Portugal and served as an outstanding introduction to our week-long trip to Lisbon and Porto, with our day trip to Sintra occurring on our first full day in Portugal. Jose met us at the train station in Lisbon and started our "walk" on the train ride, with an introduction to the history of Portugal. We knew little about Portugal's history before our visit, other than it's leading role in maritime exploration during Western Europe's Age of Discovery. Jose is extremely knowledgeable and was an engaging and enthusiastic guide. He knew about the history not just of the buildings and gardens of the Quinta da Regaleira and the Vila Palace, but about its eccentric inhabitants, accomplishments, and intrigues of its residents. Jose exceeded the already high expectations we have of Context Guides. More than a tour guide, Jose was an excellent teacher and historian, and we left the tour excited to explore more of Portugal.
