Miguel the Curious Historian - Miguel(owner) communication skills were impeccable, the weather changed very quickly and he made me aware of the changes and kept me informed kudos for that Miguel.
Miguel (tour guide) whenever I travel I usually prefer to do a walking tour because you get to see people in every day life and ask questions as you go, however I opted for this tour which did include lots of walking also. Miguel the Historian arrived and jumped right into telling me about the various monuments we were passing along the drive from Lisboa to Sintra. I studied history so meeting someone equally in love with history and ensuring they are telling it even if some parts does not make the country they love look so beautiful. Miguel has a curiosity about him that made this tour so much fun and educational. We both even learned something new during the tour that I am excited for other guests to learn about it from Miguel.
Miguel never stop being curious!

Best Sintra tour. Totally worth the price!! - First, Sintra is such a magical place and a must see when visiting Portugal. Second, Miguel is the best tour guide. He is full of energy and knowledge. He made sure everyone in his group was involved and had interactions with everyone one including young kids. I am glade I chose his Sintra tour rather than others. Highly recommended!

Incredible Sintra tour and excellent guide - We booked the tour with Miguel upon the recommendation of my sister, who experienced his tour earlier this year.
He was well prepared, and it was clear that there was always a backup plan in case things did not go according to plan (weather - extra jackets, umbrella.., restaurant being closed, transit strike).
He showed us the beauty of Sintra and what really helped us enjoy the experience the most was the insightful context he provided throughout the entire trip. He kept us engaged and made sure everyone’s needs/concerns were met. Recommended to anyone who wants to enjoy Sintra.

A good day trip! - Thoroughly enjoyed the day trip with Miguel. We visited Sintra’s Historic Center, Quinta da Regaleira and the Initiation Well, and we saw the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean at Cabo da Roca, Europe’s westernmost point after a hearty lunch at a seaside restaurant. Ended the day at the Pena Palace Terraces and chapel. Although it is raining, Miguel made the trip very enjoyable. It was a good balance of history, architecture and nature. He also gave good recommendations of the places to visit during our remaining stay in Sintra.
