Meandering the region in the open air with a great guide - Manuel was a wonderful guide - knowledgable and friendly. The tour was not to the castles as such but around the area and through the forests. It was really enjoyable and recommended

AMAZING half day tour with these guides! - We had the perfect half day tour of Sintra with Diogo and Catya today! They took us to the most beautiful places and were so generous with their time, information, and energy. Their jeeps are super fun to cruise around in and kept our two boys (8 yrs and 11 yrs) thoroughly entertained. We were able to see and learn so much about Sintra thanks to these amazing guides! Thank you Diogo and Catya!

Best tour guide in Sintra! - We had the best time with Mr. Local! He is so nice and has really chill vibes. He spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese so we didn’t have any trouble communicating with him or understanding him. He took us to amazing places and we even learned about local history! We want to come back and bring more family, but we’ll only tour with Mr. Local. 😃

Sintra tour with Diogo - Diogo was great. Did a one hour tour in his electric convertible. Great for seeing everything plus you do not gear the noisy Tuk tuk engine like the others. Go electric for tours. His knowledge of the area and history added so much to the tour. Would highly recommend him for any group of 3 or less. Recommended 2 restaurants. Could only picked one and it was tasty and not overpriced like in the tourist area of Sintra.

Great day with Diogo - We had a fantastic tour with Diogo! He was genuine and his enthusiasm for Sinatra was evident. He went out of his way to make sure we had a full and informative tour. He shared both his love of Sintra and it's fascinating history. He was willing to customize the day to meet our needs/desires. I would highly recommend!
