Splendid Day in Sintra - A very special day including historic Sintra, the magical Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, seeing the surf of the Atlantic at Apple Beach and the fanciful Pena Palace. Miguel’s expertise made it a perfect day! We were so glad that we chose this particular tour and would highly recommend it.

Highly recommend an excursion with Miguel! - We had an amazing day with Miguel. He showed us so many of the amazing sights in Sintra and shared his wealth of knowledge as well. From the historic centre to Quinta, from a great fish soup lunch to Pena Palace; Miguel ensured that our day was filled with the rich history of the area as well as his own passion and experience for his home. If we are fortunate to get back, we will definitely connect with Miguel for another fantastic day!

The best experience of my visit to Portugal - Had a wonderful experience with Miguel visiting the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira and the most amazing coastline scenery. Miguel is extremely well, educated and knowledgeable. He gave a specific insights to all the places that we visited, and he made the experience an amazing and enjoyable experience. Miguel went out of his way to make everything more personable and individualized to your needs, and that made the trip even much more exciting and enjoyable. Iwould definitely recommend him to all my friends that are planning to see such sites in the near future.

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!
