Done right!
Going private made it easier to customize your tour of what works best for you. We were lucky to have Miguel for our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating, fun, kind & caring. Needless to say, we made a new friend! The tour was exceptional!

Fantastic private tour of Sintra.
Pedro was fantastic with our tour of Sintra. His knowledge was encyclopaedias. He connected different elements of the past creating an interesting and understandable history. Pedro was friendly and very accommodating to what ever we wanted for the day.

The perfect day
We learned so much and truly enjoyed the connection with our guide. Ricardo was an excellent host. The private tour provided much more comfort and in-depth discussion compared to a larger group tour. Even in the “off-season”, the crowds were substantial at the main destinations and we were able to navigate a lot easier than if we were with a group. We highly recommend this trip with this tour guide.

Unforgettable Day in Sintra and Cascais!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rodrigo made our visit to Sintra, Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, and Cascais a wonderful experience! He brought the history to life through his explanations and happily answered all our questions. He also suggested beautiful spots and scenic backgrounds for photos and shared great restaurant recommendations.
Friendly, personable, and knowledgeable, Rodrigo made the day both fun and memorable. We highly recommend him!
5 STARS!!!

Excellent Day of Sightseeing!
I really appreciated the advice I received before this tour. It helped me choose the best way to spend our time. My husband and I spent the day with Rui, an excellent tour guide and driver. Very personable, easy to understand, and incredibly knowledgeable. We saw Pena Palace (outside; no way we would’ve stood in the insane line to go inside), then to the town of Sintra for lunch, on to Monserrate Palace (beautiful grounds!) and ended at Cabo da Roca. It was a pleasure to be able to be picked up mid-morning at our hotel and have our own dedicated tour guide and driver.

Great!
Best way to explore Sintra in a short time. Our guide Daniela was excellent and made it a very smooth experience. All logistics were taken care of comfortably.
Both castles are beautiful. Sintra center was also a joy, there we walked both ways to the small castle at the end, which was really worth it.

The half day Sintra tour...
The half day Sintra tour is the perfect overview if you want to get a snapshot of Sintra and its history. Bruno is super knowledgeable and we only scratched the surface of what he had to offer! He gives you the most important facts and makes it easy to remember the key facts but can just as easily any burning questions you might have.

A Great tour guide elevates the experience
It does involve uphill and downhill walking to and from the Pena Palace, so wear comfortable walking shoes.
Bernardo was a very knowledgeable, accommodating and pleasant tour guide. He was extremely well informed about every aspect of the Palace, but he was also succinct and could clearly elucidate his thoughts.

Full day tour of Sintra and Cascais: On and Off the Beaten Path
Vasco pulled out all the stops on this private tour. He owns the tour company Cazzulu Travel at Cazzulu.com which specializes in these tours as well as all types of travel experiences and trip planning in Portugal and Spain especially finding ways to highlight places not seen by tourists.
He is amazingly knowledgeable and his passion shows through as he taught us about the history and culture. He lives in Sintra with his family so during our all day tour he not only seemed to know everyone, but he is a local and he knew the back ways and shortcuts. He took us to a most delicious restaurant for lunch with locals. He was very accommodating.. We certainly hope to work with him again.

Excellent Half Day Tour of Sintra
Excellent tour with Diogo as our guide. He is funny and fun and has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area. We saw a bit of everything, driving through the forest, beaches and small towns and finishing the tour at the Pena Palace. Would recommend this tour.

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!
