Experience the best of
Sintra with Withlocals

"This was my second trip to Sintra but our first with Luis. He was on time, the car was spotless AND he even extended our trip by close to an hour to let us enjoy our last stop. I love seeing the world this way - with a knowledgeable guide but one who is not pushy! I highly recommend booking a tour with him - unforgettable!"

"Fantastic tour of lovely Lisbon with Carlos! He is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and culture of Portugal. We enjoyed learning from him. "

"We had a very nice and informative tour. We can highly recommend Diogo as a guide."

"We had a fantastic evening with Constança with delicious gastronomic specialties from Portugal. In addition to the food, she gave a historical tour of Cascais with an account of the history, architecture and culture. We highly recommend a tour with Constança."

"Amanda was our guide for the city tour of Lisbon. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

"Alphe made our introduction to Lisboa such a pleasure. He is so personable, knowledgeable, and does not rush through your shared time. He can find all of the delicious local gems that are off the tourist path. If you want an authentic and historically relevant experience with a charismatic guide, he's your man."

"We had a wonderful tour with João. It’s amazing how much he managed to pack into what felt a very short time (although it was over 3 hours). We gained great insight and knowledge into the beautiful city of Lisbon. We had asked him about the history of the city’s complex Jewish history. He was able to explain it to us in a compassionate and nuanced way. João also sent us a very comprehensive list of activities for the afternoon after our tour with him as well as great eating place. Overall a great person with an engaging personality I would unreservedly recommend him Thank you João "

"Peter gave us a 3 hour superlative historical and food tour . We wouldn’t for a minute. Great guide. You will be full when you’re done and wiser as well "

"My wife and I met Lucia for a three hour familiarization tour with Lucia on our first day in Lisbon. It was well worth it to trek to some high points and off the beaten paths through neighborhoods in and around Baixa. She provided valuable insight on what to see and do for our remaining time in Lisbon. We enjoyed her enthusiasm and appreciated her personal perspectives on both Lisbon and Portugal. We highly recommend her and will reference her to any friends visiting Lisbon in the future."

"We were so lucky to have found Miguel on a last minute booking for a day trip to Sintra! He was the perfect guide for us with his knowledge of Portuguese history and current events as well as his background in conservation. His car (BMW) was clean, comfortable and well-equipped (with even a refrigerator in the trunk!) He had water bottles for us and kindly surprised us with some delicious local Sintra pastries. Our plan was for Miguel to accompany us during our visit to Regaleira Palace, but due to our need to be dropped as close to the palace as possible and the heavy traffic that day, unfortunately that didn't work out for us and we missed out on his detailed knowledge about the history of the palace which would've made for a much better visit. An unexpected treat was the Fado history and sampling he gave us on the drive back to Lisbon! Absolutely would not hesitate to book Miguel again - perhaps for day hiking or an evening of Fado. The only suggestion we have would be to make sure to discuss lunch plans on an daylong tour. The restaurant Miguel chose for us was a lovely beachside place, but given our schedule (early dinner reservations) we might've preferred something different. "
