Not your standard Sintra tour! - We just got back from a fabulous day with Carolina in Sintra. She was so friendly from the moment we met her and was such a knowledgeable guide. You can tell that she loves what she does and enjoys being with people. By the end of the day I felt like we were old friends. This tour was perfect. It wasn’t the same as what all the other companies were doing, which is why I picked her. We weren’t disappointed. It was advertised as a shared small group tour but we were the only ones on the tour with her so we had her full attention. I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Carolina for making our day!

Carolina is an extraordinary guide! - Carolina Inês of Carolina Tours is an extraordinary guide – she is warm, articulate, and extremely knowledgeable about Portugal’s social and political history, flora, fauna, food, wine, port, and demographics. In excellent English, Carolina excitedly shares her love for Portugal and all it has to offer. She took me with my husband on a tour of Sintra, its environs, and several surrounding coastal areas, including Cascais and gorgeous, less-travelled Azenhas do Mar and Praia da Ursa. Carolina is an excellent driver with a meticulous van whose charges are reasonable. We had a glorious day filled with information, beauty and laughter that exceeded all our expectations. You can’t find a better guide than Carolina.

Perfect trip with Carolina Tours - We are very grateful to have Carolina with us on our tour to Sintra. She is very kind, attentive and knowledgeable. She instantly replied our messages days before the tour, she is punctual and into details by taking care of everyone. I am deeply amazed by her knowledge on Portugal history and about the nature. She can handfully talk about different names of the trees on the way, she shares a lot interesting information with us about vegetations. She is very artistic and romantic that she can easily share impressive side stories about the scenic spots and history of the place. She introduced us about different architectural styles from different historic periods and the tour is a fun and innovative lesson to us. We enjoyed listening to her sharing :) Thoughout the visit, she makes sure everyone is on track and can follow the pace, she checks on everyone from time to time. The one day trip is very fruitful. From the old village Sintra, to Cabo da Roca, Guincho Beach, Cascais and Pena Palace... More than words can describe how grateful we are ❤️ Another fun fact observed is that, we can see Carolina is really kind and sincere, she greets her friends and colleagues on the way, she has friends around. This shows that she has a very wholehearted nature and this nice nature leads her a long way up till here :) We wish the company a bright business future and let's meet again soon!! For those hesitating join or not, please go for it, you won't regret as you will have the best guide with you!!! Love from Hong Kong family Fontana, Trevi, Winnie, Tony Aug 2024
