Incredible journey through history with Tourguide Miguel.

Jessica_W, Oct 2025
Our guide, Miguel, is an engaging historian so he really made the backstory to Sintra come alive. We had a very detailed tour of the Sintra National Palace and Quinta da Regaleira and the lives and interests of the people who created both. I highly recommend exploring Sintra with Miguel.

Friendly and fully customizable

Amazing experience and one of our best days in Lisbon. We have 2 boys, 12 and 8 years old and they absolutely loved the day trip not only to Sintra but also along the coastline and everywhere that our guide Rui suggested we visit. Rui was amazing, accommodating every need and stopping and adjusting our day as we went along. We ate amazing fresh fish at a local seaside restaurant, explained everything in an easy way manner for everyone to understand and it was truly a fantastic day!

A must if you're touring Sintra.

We visited all of the "Must See" attractions in Sintra, but what made it most memorable was our tour guide Gui. Gui is professional and knowledgeable, but is also fun to spend the day with.

Fantastic tour of Sintra

Vania was fantastic. We felt like family. She showed us the most beautiful city of Sinta. Found an amazing restaurant on the beach. Couldn't have been nicer.
