Excellent all-around Sintra tour - Sergio gave us a very informative tour and was very helpful in narrowing down the locations we wanted to take a closer look at. We fit so much into just a few hours and he knew all the best stops for pictures. He was communicative before, during, and after our tour and provided us with wonderful hospitality.

Brilliant tour of Sintra - We knew what we wanted to do when we got to Sintra, just go up to the castle and palace, take some photos and come down again, simple. On arriving we were ambushed by tuk tuks but they didn't offer what we wanted. Whilst walking we were approached by Danilo who listened to us and said he would take us up in his 'vintage' car!!! It turned out to be a roughly 30 year old red Fiat cabriolet which was ideal on the day. We booked him for an hour but what followed was a magical tour of Sintra and the views up to the palace. Danilo spoke very good English and gave us a very knowledgeable account of the area taking in some unbelievable views that you wouldn't normally get to see on a bus or tuk tuk. We arrived back in Sintra a lot later than 1 hour really pleased with our tour. Without any doubt I would recommend Danilo. You will have a fabulous time with some great memories.

Fantastic day of amazing sites in Sintra - Really enjoyed the tour. Danilo was very accommodating to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see during our day. He was very knowledgeable about Sintra and the specific tour sites. His guidance saved us time at each tour spot with his guidance. Make sure to ask Danilo about the tickets needed for each site. Some of them are timed entry so you will need to coordinate carefully. Also be prepared with sunscreen and a jacket. It was considerably cooler in Sintra mountains but at the same time we got a lot of sun in the convertible car used for the tour.

Highly recommended Sintra tour! - Danilo was a fantastic guide. He introduced himself when we first booked the tour and checked in as our trip got closer. He booked our palace tickets for us in advance at no extra charge and was willing to pick us up in Lisbon. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took lots of great photos of our family so we will always remember the wonderful day.

Tour not as advertised- disappointed - The experience is Not as advertised be where before purchasing. We were expecting to start the experience as advertised with a walking tour around the castles and through the forest but instead were picked up 10 minutes late in an old tok tok. Although our guide Frederico was friendly and knowledgeable, we were driven around by the castles and wasn’t offered time to go into one to go in to explore as advertised. Basically, we drove around and saw the sites and that was it. Additionally, our tok tok broke down during the trip and we had to wait for a back- up to come. Overall, very disappointing, not worth the money, and not at all advertised. Again, the guides were knowledgeable about Sintra so that was the silver lining but I would suggest reading the tour details before booking
