Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had the best walking tour, doing a loop from Sintra to Pena Palace, then the Moorish Castle, and finally Quinta da Regaleira. Sofia was fascinating throughout the entire trip and kept our minds off the seemingly impossible climbs and distances we had to cover. We definitely recommend Sofia if you want an incredible experience in Portugal. Thank you!"
"My wife and I had a most enjoyable 5 hr tour to Sintra and the coastal area. Francisco has excellent. Very knowledgeable and flexible to match our interests Highly recommended "
"Wir hatten mit Luis eine wunderbare Zeit in Sintra! Bei der Gestaltung des Tages haben wir uns ganz auf seine Expertise verlassen, welche Paläste wir besuchen usw., und das war goldrichtig! Während wir an den bekannten Hotspots lange Warteschlangen gesehen haben, konnten wir ohne Wartezeit durch zwei Attraktionen schlendern und dabei unzähliges nicht nur über Sintra, sondern auch über ganz Portugals Geschichte erfahren. Vielen, vielen Dank nochmal auf diesem Wege für diesen tollen Tag!"
"We had an amazing day with Stasea exploring Sintra. She picked us up and took us to some absolutely beautiful spots, including a breathtaking view of the ocean that felt so peaceful, I had to take a million pictures. We also toured a castle, and even though it was pretty crowded, Stasea made the experience feel personal. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and pointed out so many unique details we would have completely missed on our own, which made a huge difference. After that, we visited Quinta da Regaleira, and it was incredible. The hidden tunnels, wells, and the history behind the property were fascinating, it truly felt like we were stepping back in time. Stasea was super attentive throughout the entire day and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. She was awesome, and we would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Sintra!"
"Our day with Sofia started with pastries and coffee, then hiking to the Moorish castle with lots of details about the gardens, and ended with a lovely lunch in a family restaurant. We had a great time with Sofia and she made our day special! I would highly recommend a trip with her! Obrigada!"
"Luis was our guide, host really, for a whole day excursion to Sintra, which included Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira, and lunch in the town. He was an amazing source of knowledge on everything and was able to keep us informed & entertained even in between the things to see. He is also a very nice gentleman and very friendly. We highly recommend using his services for these visits."
"She was very informative and knowledgeable with excellent English. Highly recommend!"
"Bruno war ein sehr freundlicher Mensch mit tiefem Hintergrundwissen über Portugal und insbesondere Sintra. Es haben sich durchweg interessante Konversationen ergeben und unseren Tag lehrreich und kurzweilig gestaltet. Zudem war ein ein sehr sicherer und umsichtiger Autofahrer, der uns stets gut ans Ziel brachte. "
"Fijn dagtocht gehad met Silvia naar Sintra & Cascais. Veel wetenswaardigheden. Leuke kleine plekjes overweg. Zeker de moeite waard!"
"We are so glad we booked a tour with Adriana. From the history she shared the entire day, the pre planning, restaurant and bakery recommendation was all fantastic. She was a pleasure to work with and show us her magical town of Sintra. We will be back <3"
