1 1/2 hour tour of Sintra
We were a group of eight and Tiago met us with two other tuk tuks and drivers. We went as a group around Sintra. We all enjoyed the tour and the information the three guides imparted to us as we went around the sites of Sintra and took in its history and magic. A shout out to Caroline who drove our tuk tuk. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Sintra Trip
This experience was beyond my expectation. It was a pleasant surprise. Miguel, our guide was excellent, a good story teller and historian. Sharing his most memorable experiences made the trip a friendly tour. Miguel managed our time so well. I highly recommend this trip with Miguel as the guide.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible tour
We had such a memorable day exploring Sintra and the other tour spots with Ricardo Martins! Having grown up in Sintra, he brought a local’s perspective and a wealth of knowledge that made the places we visited even more interesting. He was patient and attentive throughout the day, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each stop—we never once felt rushed.
The tour offered a wonderful variety, with each stop having its own distinct atmosphere and charm. Riccardo also recommended a fantastic spot for lunch, which was another highlight of our day.
We enjoyed our time with him so much that, after spending the entire day together, we booked a second private tour with him for the following day! That really says it all. If you’re visiting Lisbon, we wholeheartedly recommend this tour and Riccardo. He helped make our trip truly special!

Hometown Guide makes the difference!
Very personalized and private tour of Sintra. Move at your pace, spending as much or as little time as you want and all with “inside” and local information and tips. Tiago was outgoing and knowledgeable about his “hometown” and made us feel at home as well!

She realized that 3 of the 4 of us had new

Sintra is a must see
We had a fabulous day visiting Sintra. Jorge picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon and we drove us to Sonya. On the way he pointed out sights and the history around them. The weather was very misty, so we didn’t have great views but that didn’t dampen our experience. Jorge was very helpful with navigating the tour experience at Pena castle and we loved our time viewing the exterior and the amazing grounds. Next to the village of Sintra for lunch and shopping. All in all a very wonderful experience!!

Great all-encompassing tour of Sintra!
Amazing tour by a wonderful guide!! Diogo made us feel comfortable and created a very casual and lighthearted environment! It was great to be given a tour of the more local and scenic paths we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. Highly highly recommend if you’re looking to book a great and fun experience. Thanks so much for the food recommendations, great photos, and company!

Awesome last minute tour with Nunu.
Great tour! Nunu (sp) gave us the white glove treatment the entire day. We didn’t decide to add this trip until the day prior so we didn’t have timed entry tickets to any of the palaces. This tour included skip-the-line tickets and Nunu dropped us at the door (there were still about 10,000 steps for the day) then parked the car before catching up with us and giving awesome tours of the castles. I can’t recommend this tour and our guide enough.

Bruno F. is the best!
We did numerous tours during our extended time in Portugal and Bruno F. was our favorite tour guide! He was so easy to communicate with, was prompt, attentive, and adaptable. He has great energy and was such a wonderful person to spend our day with. He beautifully balanced his suggestions with what our interests were and gave us the right amount of time to explore each stop. He generously even got us some local delicacies to try. His vehicle was always immaculate so you can tell that Bruno takes great care in everything he does and that is exactly how we felt during our time with him, that his mission was to make sure we had an enjoyable tour. One key factor that made Bruno stand out is that we had mobility issues so he always did his best to try and get us as close to the entrance of each attraction as possible, while working around the parking limitations. He would then make pick-up arrangements that helped reduce our need to walk very far. We highly recommend Bruno as an exceptional tour guide!

Exceptional from start to finish
Our driver, Tiago, was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, professional, and an excellent driver who made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the day. We were a bit unsure of what we wanted to do at first, but Tiago was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, helping us design the perfect itinerary on the fly. And gave us tips and tricks and recommendations in each village we stopped in. Highly recommend and having done it it’s the only way to see Sintra.

highly recommend!
Rui was my guide and he was very sweet, helpful and enthusiastic! He drove me around for a late day visit to Sintra. I saw a lot in a short time, but he was also very willing to allow me to take my time and explore as much as I wanted to. Lovely experience!

Perfect tour
We had a good time, our guide Marta was very helpful, knowledgeable, organized & very accommodating to our walking speed being “seniors” 👍She even brought us to Cabo de Roca even though it was not in our itinerary. Excellent job, highly recommended 👏👏👏

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Navigating the historic hilltop city of Sintra can be tricky, but Sintra private drivers make the journey much easier. Whether you need a simple transfer to handle the logistics of getting to and from town, or you're looking for a local expert to take you sightseeing and share their knowledgeable insights, there’s an option that fits the bill. With someone else at the wheel, you can sit back and fully enjoy the romantic charm of this UNESCO-listed village.
