Miguel our guide was super friendly and he knew his way around which made our day trip very efficient. Though its a bit more expensive than other day trips to Sintra, its very nice that is super private. We wish it was a bit clearer than the Sintra castles were not included in the day trip schedule. Overall very nice experience !

Paulo was amazing! He is a Sintra local with deep historical knowledge and you can feel his passion when he speaks. We were blessed to have sun for most of the day despite the forecast being rainy which made the day all the more special. Having Juan along for the ride added to the fun!

Paulo was an amazing tour guide! We are all still talking about our Best Day Ever in Sintra! Paulo showed us the most beautiful spots and made the whole experience enjoyable. Can’t thank you or him enough!
