Sintra is more than worth it.

Published on Dec, 2024

We're really happy we decided to spend some time in Sintra. The breathtaking natural views and gorgeous constructions side by side are a real treat to any visitor of the Village. Sintra is really a unique experience, in our opinion, even more because of Miguel's guidance. He is very knowledgeable of the historic facts and curiosity facts. He made sure we had a nice and light mood every single moment we were with him. Super attentive to our wishes, with good tips that only made our time in Sintra wonderful. Super recommend this tour and if you have the chance, ask for Miguel as your tour guide. It really made the difference for us.

Unforgettable day in Sintra!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an absolutely beautiful day exploring the stunning sights of Sintra, and it was made all the more special thanks to Ravi. Touring in his convertible Volkswagen on a sunny day was such a unique and memorable experience. Ravi was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making sure we felt well looked after throughout the day. The scenery was breathtaking! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Sintra in style and comfort. It’s great value for money and a day we’ll always remember!

I had the best experience in Sintra. Miguel and Giovana was an incredible guides, I felt like a traveler. What impressed me most about this tour was how he knew so much about the history. Quinta da Regaleira is one of my favorites of all palaces. I intend to go back, as I wasn't able to see all the places. I will recommend it to my friends.
