The BEST Tuk Tuk tour in Sintra - Incredible tour! The first time I visited sintra I didn't do a tour.. when I returned with my fmaily I met Francisco and we took his tour. I realised during the ride that a tuk tuk tour is the best way to see Sintra.
Fransisco was super knowledgeable. He took us to many spot on the tuk tuk tour gave use interesting and amazing information about Sintra that we otherwise wouldn't have known.
He also took us to secret photo spots and happily took our photos.
Once we reached the top at Pena palace. He waiting as we did our Pena Palace tour and then took us down to the the bottom and recommend an incredible restaurant.
I highly recommend Fransisco and his tour. . I wouldn't visit Sintra without Fransisco!

Francisco was fantastic! - Stress free experience with Francisco…great communication in Portuguese and English and catered for our younger child making sure we were safe and comfortable. His transport was electric and easy navigating the windy hilly roads of Sintra. He was informative and patient when waiting for us and price was on point too. Highly recommend his service and would definitely use it again

FANTASTIC TOUR AND GUIDE!! - We were lucky enough to take a review with Francisco a few days ago. He was so easy to communicate with and took great care to ask about the places we wanted to visit and how to accommodate my physical needs bc I have a bum knee and my back has arthritis.
Anyways he met us at our hotel when we arrived and even helped us know where to put our car.
The tour was fantastic. He told us a lot of history about the places we saw. He showed us all around and was so kind and patient. It was like we were touring with a new friend. At the end he took us back to our hotel and even gave us a dinner recommendation near our hotel.
I would use him again. He was very safe, kind, informative and fun!!

Don’t Miss Sintra with Francesco of “Sintra on Wheels” - We were on the last day of a 30 day journey, very tired, one of us not feeling well and considered cancelling at the last minute. Are we ever glad we didn’t.
Our tour, with Francesco of “Sinatra on Wheels”, was phenomenal. He checked in at the onset to confirm what we would like to see and did he ever come through. From delicious pastries from a local bakery, to traditional highlights ( Peña Palace, Quinta da Regaleira etc where we could stay as long as would like), to his favorite local beaches where he kindly made dinner suggestions. We had dinner on the beach by the ocean while he patiently waited nearby.
Suffice it to say, what was supposed to be an ~4 hour tour became 6 delightful hours and the highlight of a 30 day holiday from Italy to Portugal.
A magical place with an amazing guide, don’t miss it.

Fantastic Tour with SINTRA ON WHEELS!! - Francisco has a lot of experience, knowledge of the local history, speaks several languages and, above all, is very friendly!
Francisco is an excellent guide because we can see that he loves what he does, he loves Sintra and likes people 😁!
He organized our time to make the most of our day. We visited all the main attractions (monuments, forest and beaches).
It was a wonderful tour with great traditional food!
On top of all this the vehicles are 100% electric - environmentally friendly 😀👍!
I absolutely recommend SINTRA ON WHEELS!!
Thank you very much Francisco for the amazing day👍!

Amazing tour in Sintra! - I really recommend the Tour with Francisco! It was an incredible day!
Francisco was born and has lived in Sintra forever, so, in addition to knowing the whole history of Sintra, he also knows the legends! The way he tells the story demonstrates the incredible love he has for this village and it is impossible for anyone to remain indifferent!
Furthermore, Francisco is very polite, friendly, empathetic and speaks several languages! We were a multinational group and on our tour they spoke English, Spanish and French!
Thank you very much Francisco!!

Sintra Tour - Great experience!
Together with my family we headed towards Sintra where Francisco was waiting for us!
We started the day visiting the palaces where the guide explained all the stories to us, then we went to the area where he lives, the beaches of Sintra where he showed us the watermills of the sea, Praia Grande and Praia das Apples!
It was a great day and very well spent!
I recommend to everyone a guided tour with Francisco
