Before comparing prices
What makes two private tour quotes comparable?
Compare the same group, date, pickup and drop-off, route and services. Then separate the quoted tour price from expenses you pay elsewhere. The useful total is the cost of the day you have actually agreed, with each inclusion and optional item identified.
Confirm the quote
Check separately
Read the price alongside the route
Confirm what the group price covers
Ask whether the quoted amount is for the whole group or per person, and which participants and vehicle it covers. Tell the team your final group size and any seating or equipment needs before comparing proposals. If your requirements change, ask for the revised arrangements and price in writing.
Check the pickup and drop-off locations, the agreed route and the service described in the proposal. Ask how an extra destination, a different endpoint or a longer visit would affect it. Confirm the quoted rate for your actual date rather than assuming a displayed starting price applies to every arrangement.
The published Sintra, Cascais and Estoril tour gives a concrete route to compare. Read its included and excluded items alongside the itinerary, then use the written proposal to confirm what is being offered for your group.

Compare the same service
Add the expenses outside the quote
Check admissions, meals and optional visits
For a Sintra day, ask whether the chosen monument tickets are included, arranged for you or bought separately. Confirm the ticket type, time and booking responsibility before treating two proposals as equivalent. A route mentioning a palace describes a planned visit; the proposal should explain the admission arrangements.
Do the same for lunch, drinks, boat outings, tastings and other optional activities relevant to your route. Ask about current prices and conditions for the specific option you want, and keep those amounts separate when comparing the tour quote.
Read the payment and cancellation conditions supplied with the proposal. Clarify how changes to dates, participants or optional bookings will be handled before paying. This article provides a comparison checklist; the current written proposal defines your commercial arrangements.

Make the comparison useful
Ask for one itemised proposal for your actual day
Send your date, group size, pickup/drop-off and priorities through the contact form. Ask the team to distinguish the tour price, included services and separately paid items, and to state the payment and change conditions. Compare the complete plan before choosing.
