Amazing tour! - The trip with Diogo was great! He helped us plan the day based on what our must see sights were and was so knowledgeable about Portuguese history. The service was excellent- he provided plenty of waters in the car, recommendations for lunch, and advice for the rest of our trip! We would absolutely book a tour with Diogo again

Great day seeing much beauty - Diogo was friendly and knowledgeable the entire day! He picked us up from our AirBnB in Lisbon and we spent the day adventuring. He curated the tour as the day went on to allow more time in the gardens as this felt more enjoyable with less people around. The outside of Pena is gorgeous and he knew so much in history about the palaces. He supplied water bottles in the car and checked with us on timing of when to eat and took breaks with us when we needed them from all the walking.

Regalaria/Pena Palace/Cabo da Roca - We had a wonderful day/tour with Diogo. He started the day with the pastry of Sintra (pillow of Sintra) and then headed to the Regalaira which was awesome. We then toured the gardens of Pena Palace and then the Palace itself. We ended the day at the most western point in Europe, Cabo da Roca. It was a spectacular day and we will be hiring Diogo again!

An amazing tour experience! - Diogo was so good! His knowledge of the area/history is impressive and he was extremely nice and comfortable to be around. He also was a safe driver which is always reassuring. He brought us to some beautiful places and also gave us great food recommendations. Without a doubt would recommend Outing Portugal and more specifically, Diogo, for your next adventure!

Loved the tour - We had an excellent tour guide, Diogo, who made our trip to Sintra so much more meaningful. We learned of the history of the castle and palace as we were touring. Diogo let us take our time in each of the locations. I highly recommend taking the tour vs going on your own.

Wonderful time with Diogo - Diogo was an amazing guide. He picked us up from the hotel and shared the history of every place he took us. His passion for his job was evident in the way he described everything to us. He was friendly with our kids and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time in this tour.

Best tour guide ever - Wow! We learned sooo much from Diogo about Portuguese history and info about what we were seeing on the tour. He didn’t just drop us off at locations, he went in with us and explained everything. Just wow!

Perfect day in and around Sintra! - We saw and learned so much more than we would have if we had tried to do this on our own! Diogo was friendly and personable and a wealth of information about the history of everything we saw! He knew all the ins and outs to navigate us seamlessly through the day so that we could see as much as possible (Moorish Castle, Pena, Regaleira, Monseratte, Sintra village, Azenhas do mar). He was flexible and open to whatever we wanted to do. It was worth every penny and more. We highly recommend Diogo and Outing Portugal!
