Day long trip along the coast with stop in Sintra
Informative day with a lot to see. Several stops along the way. Prepare for a long day with walking. Our guide Miguel was very nice and had great knowledge of all the sites we visited. For a private tour you can customize your trip. We didn’t make any changes but maybe would have enjoyed more time relaxing in Sintra, as it’s an adorable town, and maybe less time at one of the other stops. Overall, a good day. Recommended.

Great experience, easy to follow instructions
Rodrigo is an absolutely amazing guide. He gives specific instructions and clear information. He’s entertaining and informative. Engaged well with the group. Small group size made the tour feel intimate. Would go on a tour with Rodrigo again in a second. Book this one while you can.

Wonderful tour!
Rodrigo was an amazing tour guide! From the moment he picked us up at our lodging, I knew we were in good hands. He has a wonderful personality—funny, personable, and highly knowledgeable. He is incredibly passionate about his work and spent the day sharing stories and teaching us about everything we were seeing. He also knows all the best photo spots and happily served as our photographer. His enthusiasm and love for Portugal is truly contagious! Our full day with Rodrigo was unforgettable and the absolute highlight of our trip. Don't hesitate to book with him—he really is the best!

Sintra tour not to be missed
The tour of Sintra was amazing and not to be missed. The tour guide, Bart, was the best guide I have ever experienced! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of all the castles/palaces (he should be a history professor). Best of all, he is an amazing person, and he made everything so interesting and he is just a pleasure to be with. Make sure to request Bart if you are going on a tour of Sintra!!!

A great day with a great guide.
From the moment we met our guide Sarah, her smile set the tone for
the day. Sarah was very professional, knowledgeable and a fun person to spend 6 hours with. She was our photographer and had patience when we wanted to stop. On our way home from Sintra to Lisbon Sarah went out of her way to find a olive oil dispenser that we had been looking for but could not locate.
She is known as the purple guide. Once you meet her you will understand.
This tour was amazing because Sarah made it amazing.

Great Day in Sintra & Caiscas with Bruno!
Bruno is an outstanding tour guide/driver. He was quick to reply when planning our day for 4 people and buying tickets for Pena Palacio & Regalaria (which sells out quickly). He is from the area and so knowledgeable of the history of Portugal. This really is the only way to navigate the large crowds and really cover all the areas we wanted to see. He set up a delicious lunch in Caiscas -one of our favorite meals. Bruno is so kind and you can tell he enjoys sharing his knowledge and culture with others, including some wonderful pastries. He even gave us suggestions for our next stop in Porto. Obrigada, Bruno! You made our trip so memorable!

Just Book it!
Vasco was a great tour guide. We had another tour cancelled the night before and found the one with Vasco. And it could have been a better experience - his knowledge, generosity, insights and overall enthusiasm for the tour made it a day my family and I will never forget. Thanks, Vasco!

Sofia is the best!!! 10/10
Sofia Pena gives an absolutely breathtaking tour of Sintra and Cascais. She is a Sintra native and knows the people and places like the back of her hand. Sofia customized our tour to fit our interests and abilities. Her knowledge and love of of history, nature, symbolism, culture, and how these interconnect leads to an extraordinarily rich tour experience. Cannot recommend highly enough, and can’t wait to return and see more of this beautiful part of Portugal with Sofia!

We loved it!!! we traveled...
We loved it!!! we traveled very comfortably with a guide just for us at our own pace. I traveled with my parents who are already elderly, the guide was excellent, always attentive, giving us very detailed information about the places we visited. I recommend this experience.

Historical tour of Sintra
Our guide Ruben was very engaged and helpful with helping us navigate our five family members through Sintra and the Pena Palace.
He was full of information on the history of Portugal and Sintra in particular. His enthusiasm was very much appreciated for keeping us engaged and informed.
He knew of many spots to take impactful photos. He assisted in taking many pictures of our family in breathtaking locations.
After our tour he dropped us off at a spot to continue on our own
It was a great experience and tour.

My husband and I and...
My husband and I and another couple had a lovely tour of Sintra with Leo. He lived in the community and his pride and love for the area was obvious. Leo included a tour of some of the neighborhoods so we got a feel for living in the area and it wasn’t just a churches and monuments flyby. Great afternoon.

Ultimate Sintra Tuk-Tuk Tour
Our private tuk-tuk tour with Wellington was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our time in Sintra! Because it was a private tour, he was able to fully customize the experience based on what we wanted to see, which made it feel incredibly personal and seamless.
Wellington was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. He stopped at several beautiful vantage points to share insights about Sintra’s unique microclimate, geology, plant life, and rich history. We truly would not have been able to cover as much ground or learn nearly as much on our own.
He also went above and beyond by taking photos for us, recommending and stopping at great restaurants and cafés, and even dropping us back at our hotel at the end of the tour.
Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sintra as it’s the perfect way to explore the area comfortably and get so much more out of your visit. (Tip: consider avoiding parking in town—streets are very narrow and parking is limited!)
