WOW, just WOW!! What a fun tour! - We popped out of the Sintra train station, and right into Luisa's Tuk Tuk. What a fantastic guide, and fun person she is! We had a wonderful day zipping around. First the basics: The price was fine, for everything we saw, the fun we had, and the lively conversation with Luisa - we talked about history, Portugal in general, bits about Sintra, music, Sintra nature, cork trees, life and everything! The Tuk Tuk is the way to go - a cute vehicle that really zips. It was my BF and I, and we popped for the whole afternoon tour. Worth it! We were beset by the flooding and general bad weather in Portugal that was happening at this time - the castles were closed - road damage, but we were able to view them from a short distance, and get all the relevant details. Luisa knows her Portuguese history, and she delivers her stories with humor, fun and great information! Weather conditions are NOT the fault of the tour company, and we alleviated them as best we could. Luisa is a native of the area, and her affection for her home really shows in her enthusiastic tours. We saw: Azenhas de Mar Colares (a charming small village RIGHT on Azenhas de Mar) We admired it from the coast. Cabo de Roca Pena Palace (outside) Cascais nature, birds, and a bit of storm damage! We ended up in Sintra, in the commercial/tourist area - which was charming, with lots of shops and restaurants. This tour, though, was definitely the highlight. Highly recommended!!!

Magical Sintra - This was one of the best experiences in Portugal. Tiago is an excellent guide and made sure we had a memorable tour despite weather not being in our favour. Somehow the misty conditions just added to his stories about the history and folklore of Sintra. I would highly recommend booking with Tiago for a tour.

See Sintra and Coast like a local - Due to the country closing roads we couldn’t access all the sites but still had the best time. Luisa was great! Such a beautiful area and got to learn a lot along the way. Highly recommend!

Mega Trip. Lots of curves, up and down with humor and history. Totally thrilled. - The guide is called Tiago and is mega friendly and endeavoured. He loves his region and his country! His explanations are competent and interesting. He knows many small details and he shows a lot of patience. He is very punctual and warm. It takes individual needs into account and is very reliable. Very good and perfect. Again and again!
