Discovering Sintra - Pedro took us on a lovely tour of Sintra which has great history and some beautiful places to visit. Pedro’s knowledge and pride of the area shone through and made the journey even more enjoyable. Topped off by taking some photos for us, sharing some of the regional delicacies and recommending a great place to eat. Please try a tour yourself if you holiday there.

Pedro is a gem to spend the day with. - Our group of 4 had an absolutely fantastic day with Pedro! He picked us up promptly and made us immediately feel at ease and in good hands. We toured Sintra. Quinta Regelaria, down into the Initiation well and the tunnels below. He took us to a fantastic local restaurant for lunch and down along the coast to see the sights on the way to Caiscais. Pedro’s undivided attention, sense of humour, incredible wealth of knowledge of plants, food, history, and all things Portugal was greatly appreciated by our group. I highly recommend getting away from the big tours or attempting to just tour on your own. Pedro’s guidance was worth its weight in gold.

Sintra with Soul Travelers - Our visit to Sintra with Soul Travelers, which we did via tuk tuk, was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our trip. Sintra, with its mystical beauty, rich history, and stunning palaces, is mesmerizing in its own right, but our experience was made even better by the exceptional guidance provided. The guide from Soul Travelers was a revelation - not only did he have extensive knowledge about Sintra and its hidden gems, but he also peppered his narration with interesting anecdotes that brought us closer to the local culture and history. His passion and enthusiasm were contagious, making us feel like we were discovering Sintra through the eyes of someone who truly loves it. Traveling by tuk tuk added a special charm to our adventure. It allowed us to avoid the crowds and visit more remote spots that might not have been accessible with traditional means of transportation. The tuk tuk was comfortable, and cruising along Sintra's picturesque hilly roads was an absolute delight. The entire experience with Soul Travelers was outstanding from start to finish. The organization was flawless, and communication with the company was clear and efficient. Our guide ensured our day was filled with enjoyment, exploration, and learning, without ever feeling overwhelmed. For anyone looking for a unique and personal way to explore Sintra, I highly recommend Soul Travelers and their tuk tuk adventure. This was not just a tour; it was an adventure that we will always cherish.

Magical Sintra. - Pedro’s guiding service on his TukTuk exceeded our expectations. He has an excellent command of the English language and is extremely knowledgeable. Therefore, he was able to bring to life past and present history and presented it in a fun bite size way so we can retain the information. Pedro is kind, generous and fun to spend the day with. We highly recommend Pedro’s guiding services.
