Amazing Sintra - We are a maltese couple which we were in Sintra Portugal last week. We met the tour guy Diago with his amazing jeep and spent 4 hours with him. He knows the history inside out and he is such an amazing person , he speaks very good english. We will recommend him 100%. Hope to see you soon Adrian and Sandra

Exceptional tour around Sintra! - The guide is very kind, he immediately put us at ease and gave us a wonderful tour of Sintra... he showed us all the most beautiful places to visit and above all he knows all the best locations where you can take memorable, postcard-worthy photos , like ours (in his super car) 😍 Thank you very much. Highly recommended experience.

If you book one tour in Portugal, make it this one! - We’ve been living in Lisbon for a year and a half, and our day with Diogo was one of the absolute best days we’ve had in Portugal so far. I booked this tour as a birthday gift for my husband, who loves Sintra and wanted to learn more about its history. We hoped we would learn a lot, but what we didn’t expect was that we would have an incredible adventure and make a new Portuguese friend in the process! Diogo is an absolute gem. He’s so charismatic and has such a great sense of humor, and his depth of knowledge about Portugal, its history, and its ancient civilizations is absolutely incredible. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t enjoy their day with Diogo; if you love history, you’ll be fascinated, and if you don’t, you’ll still have a total blast laughing and chatting with him all day! We came away with a whole new level of understanding about our new country, its history, and its culture, along with some incredibly special memories which are already among our favorites from our entire time in Portugal thus far. Personally, I think this tour is one of the hidden gems among all the tourism experiences Portugal had to offer—and if you’ve happened to find it, you’re well on your way to one of the most memorable travel days you’ll ever have!

Absolute must for Lisbon / Sintra travelers!! - Diogo was amazing! This tour was the highlight of our Portugal trip. He was so knowledgeable of the region and history - I wish we had more time to continue driving all day! He is very in tune with what the group is interested in and made the day fun and very special to us. Definitely recommend!

The highlight of our trip - thank you, Diogo! - I made a reservation for this tour for me and my husband at the very last minute, while on the train from Porto to Lisbon for the last 2 days of a very-quickly-planned 6 night trip to Portugal. I was tired of making decisions and getting us to and from places, and figuring out times and lines, so I decided a day with a private guide was needed. What tremendous great fortune! A week later, at my computer across the ocean, I am still smiling about the wonderful day we spent with Diogo in the Sintra region. For me and my family, it is always the greatest privilege to meet a local person and spend several hours together exploring, site seeing and, most especially, getting to know what life is like in that country and town or village. On this short trip I had decided that we were not going to spend time inside any museums or castles. We wanted to be outside as much as possible, so the description of this particular tour really appealed to me. When we met at a cafe near the train station, Diogo immediately reviewed what we were hoping to do that day, and to get out of the tour, and offered to make adjustments based on what we shared with him. And off we went in his convertible, electric Citroen SUV! It was a gorgeous, sunny, slightly chilly day. Advice - bring a few layers at this time of the year! We met at 2 pm and were together until sundown, in the open vehicle, up and down the hills, high above the coastline, and at the beach. What a beautiful area this is, and we would never have seen most of it without being in a car, with a local person. Diogo is an archaeologist and an historian, and we learned a great deal as we hiked near, around, and viewed, the castles and the coast. It was extra special to learn about the archaeological dig that Diogo had participated in at the Castelo dos Mouros, and to see his own discovery. A few other lucky visitors to the castle were drawn in as he explained everything to us! During our time together we covered many subjects including the current day economy and politics of both of our countries, details about our families (our adult sons are just a little younger than Diogo), a shared interest in geocaching in the past, and advice to each other about what to do on our next visit to Portugal and Diogo's future trip to the States (a tour of DC awaits you, Diogo!) We shared a bite and a drink, and met more young locals, before parting- a little sadly, and as friends -at the train station. It was a perfect day. We cannot recommend Mr. Local enough! Muita obrigada, Diogo. Estamos com saudades.

Lovely historical sites tour - Diogo was absolutely wonderful! If you like history and want to learn about the Sintra area you have to book with Diogo. Being an actual local archaeologist he provides a wealth of knowledge and detail you can’t find elsewhere. Since his service is private (it’s just you and Diogo) you can ask all the questions you want and you may even get to go off the planned route if something of interest comes up in conversation. I cannot recommend Diogo enough!

One word- incredible - The best guy in the town. You don't feel like you are an tourist any time when you are guided by him. Full of information and amazing personality. See you soon bro.

Great experience - This tour was a great wrap up me and my huusband's 1st visit to Portugal. We really wanted to get more in depth regarding the history and culture of this beautiful country. Diogo was full of information, and tailored the tour to suit our interests. We had a fantastic day, and would repeat in future. Diogo is knowledgeable and was able to fully answer everything we asked whether is was directly relate to the tour or not. We highly recommend any tour led by this guide!

Amazing Tour Guide and Companion - Diogo was an incredibly knowledgeable guide and a great companion for the day! He even brought me local pasteis and an orange between tours. If you go to Sintra, seek him out for an amazing tour.

A highlight of my trip! - Diogo was a wonderful guide! Cannot recommend this tour enough. He is super knowledgeable and fun. I was so grateful to get the chance to go to the beach. He has a way of making the experience feel particularly catered to you.
