Great way to see sintra - Leo is a wonderful tour guide. Great way to see Sintra from someone who is from there. Get to see sights from the off road vehicle that you couldn’t from a normal tour. We stopped for an amazing local traditional lunch .. saw beautiful coastlines. Highly recommend

Amazing Day Trip - Leo is such an amazing historian and guide. You feel as though you are with your brother or friend. If you have a specific place on the way that you would like to visit, whether a church or specific cafe’ he will drop by so you can take a picture or a bite. Very easy going and passionate about his tour. Great trip! Thank you Leo

Incredibly fun way to experience Sintra. Don’t miss out. - Leo was a great host and made our trip to Sintra as easy as possible. As a native of Sintra he had amazing historical and personal stories to share that made the experience so much more than just a tour.
Above all, the views we got to see via 4x4 access was beyond expectations. Just hang on during the bumpy parts…

BOOK THIS ASAP - We did not know what to expect when going to Sintra. When we met Leo outside of a train station, we didn’t expect for him to change our lives. You will not meet another person who knows the area better than Leo. Listen to this man and go where he says and I promise you won’t have any regrets. He took us to the best view we have ever seen and many other incredible spots we were not expecting. He even gave us great food recommendations. By the end of the tour we had so many great memories we would have not experienced on any other tour. Book this tour right now.

Your go-to guy in Sintra - Leo is your best friend in Sintra! Where to park, what to eat, how to buy tickets, how to get there, all of the secret beaches, hidden gems, the best of the best --- Leo is in the know! If you don't want to be one of the herd of tourists doing the same thing, but still want to experience the best of what Sintra and the surrounding area has to offer--- it is worth your time and what that time costs you to book a tour. You will not regret it! He definitely made our day worth it 10/10 --- would recommend.

Best Tour Ever❤️ - Our tour guide Leo was an incredible person and treated us like family. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited but didn’t sound like it was a rehearsed thing. It was like being shown around by an old friend. We highly recommend Leo if you are looking for an amazing experience. If Leo was a soccer player instead of a tour guide he would be a Ronaldo😉

Fantastic time! - Leo is a Sintra-native who is knowledgeable about everything that’s going around in town and in the region. He’s energetic and full of suggestions, ideas and recommendations.
Our group consisted of 7 people of multiple nationalities, and Leo effortlessly switched between Spanish and English. He also speaks French. To start, our group was treated to a snack and coffee in a family-owned café. We returned to the same café for lunch and had delicious local specialties. After lunch, Leo took us to many beautiful spots along the Western coast of Portugal. He was very informative and patient as our group was taking photos. We would absolutely recommend Leo if you are looking for a day of adventure outside of Lisbon.
