Amazing Experience - This tour was an amazing time. Henrique was an amazing guide that was eager to make sure we had a good time while sharing his knowledge of the local area and history. The lunch was great and this excursion was well worth the cost. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing the sights of Sintra and Cascais.

Very cool tour! - Very cool tour. Mario was an excellent “team leader” for the journey. Restaurant was a great local place with outstanding food and wine. The beach and cliffs were amazing and the weather cleared up enough to roll the top up and go “jeep” surfing in their vintage Portuguese 4x4’s. Great choice of a tour.

The best! - My wife and I just got back from our all day tour with Sintra native Henrique. The UMM jeep makes it a true adventure and Henrique’s knowledge of the area and its history, his friendliness and willingness to customize our tour made it the highlight of our stay in Portugal. When we weren’t learning we were laughing and both at the same time! (He knows secret places that you can only access with a jeep giving you perspectives that mere tourists can’t experience). Lunch was fabulous. I can’t say enough about our tour. Well okay….my wife wants to adopt him!

Amazing Tour of Sintra by Jeep - We had one of the best times today on a full day tour with Rafael and Henrique! They’re some of the most friendly and fun guys you’ll ever meet and they know Sintra like the back of their hands. They grew up exploring the area and now they love showing off their hometown to everyone they can by jeep. We saw some of the most amazing places that we never would have without the tour and had a blast while doing so! The kids had such a great day, we all enjoyed an incredible lunch at one of their favorite local restaurants and learned so much about Sintra and its history. The only regret we had was not taking this trip sooner! If you’re coming to Sintra, be sure to book a tour with Jummpy Adventures before you do anything else. You won’t regret it!

The BEST tour company in Sintra!! - Our family (boys 17 and 13) arrived in Sintra late morning on our last day in Portugal with nothing booked and I was nervous about hiring a private tour from someone outside of the train station but we really had no choice so we did enough online research to know what we wanted to do and generally the prices. SO We knew we wanted a jeep so that we could do center city and the coast and we ended up with Henrique one of the owners of Jummpy Adventures and we feel SO lucky!!!! Had we booked on line we likely would have booked with a company with way more reviews but I can’t say enough good things about this experience. We did a private tour and didn’t start until 11am so we weren’t sure we had a “full day” but Henrique gave us a list of places (with pictures) to help us quickly curate the perfect tour for our family with the 3-5 hrs we had (he was very helpful and honest about what was possible). We saw everything we wanted to and more. He was able to go off road and take us to a view of the coast that is impossible to see on foot or with a 2 wheel drive vehicle. He talked to us about the history of everything we passed plus told us personal stories of him growing up in Sintra. Our boys absolutely loved it and our oldest even used his personal money to give an extra tip to Henrique because he had such a great time. Our pictures do not even do the experience justice and I’m excited to see this new tour company really grow because they are amazing! Also Henrique spoke perfect English and he told us he speaks fluent Spanish too (and of course Portuguese). We are extremely happy that this was our last experience in Portugal and can’t wait to be back to spend more time in this beautiful country.

The Highlight of our Trip! - Incredible Experience! Tour was amazing and so much fun. The open-back Jeep allows for an incredible time with friends looking out at the beautiful landscape and buildings. The tour itself was really customizable and adaptable to our preferences and schedule. You can start at whatever hour you choose, and stop at whichever landmarks you'd prefer. The hardest part for us was deciding what we wanted to stop to go in for and what would be OK to just see from outside, since time is limited and making more than one or two stops would mean less time in the off-road part of the tour, which, in my opinion, is the best part of the tour. I really cannot overstate how amazing the coastline views are. My personal recommendation would be to stop at the Quinta da Regaleira, as the gardens and caverns are definitely worth walking through. We also stopped at the Palácio de Monserrate which was definitely worth it, too; hands-down one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen. But in the end, the views and the off-road trail are the best parts. Our tour guide was Henrique, and he was so nice and accommodating to our preferences and needs. He helped us decide what we wanted to visit and made suggestions for the stops, and also for other things after the tour. 10/10 would recommend the entire thing to anyone that's going to Lisboa. I promise it'll be the highlight of your trip as well.
