Fun and memorable! - We loved our tour of Sintra and the coast! Our guide Andre was so personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We stopped for a lovely lunch at a local spot with fresh fish caught that day and an ocean view. The blue 4x4 vehicle was a fun way to explore and the offloading to the coast was a great way to end the special day.

Amazing day adventure - highly recommend! - Tiago was fantastic. We were staying in Sintra so he arrived early to pick us up from our resort and we started out the day. He even sent me a message to tell me to grab a rain coat as there were spotty showers that day. He was incredibly patient and knowledgable about the area and took us to some of his favorite local places, onces that I would not have been able to see on my own. There were a couple of accidents that day, as the wind was strong and some trees had fallen, but Tiago made certain that we were safe and comfortable the entire time. I had not a single worry. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his tour company any day of the week.

experiential sightseeing ride in a local jeep 😉 - The trip was fantastic, an incredible experience in beautiful nature, beautiful monuments and the city, with an excellent lunch at a local restaurant, but most importantly with a great guide. TI was the best!

Seeing the Best of Sintra with Tiago - We had the absolute best day with Tiago driving us around Sintra. Even though the rain came down heavy, we still saw some of the most beautiful spots — from stunning palaces to wild waves crashing along the coast. It was truly amazing. Tiago’s knowledge of the area and his willingness to share it made the experience even better. He made the whole day so enjoyable for us from start to finish. Thank you, Tiago — we’ll definitely be back to do another day, hopefully when the sun is shining! Michelle and Charmaine from the West of Ireland. 💕

A memorable day!! - WOW!! What a way to celebrate my birthday!! This tour was a must do if you want a somewhat customized (choose the two palaces you want to visit) day in Sintra. We loved the ruggedness of the jeep (we are in our 60’s) adventure and that it was just the two of us. We chose the two palaces we wanted to visit and Tiago, our fabulous guide, sent us the links to buy the tickets with instructions of what times to purchase if needed. We took the train from Lisbon and he picked us up in his jeep. He gave us a little detail about what the day would look like which was perfect for us. We climbed in the back and sat on the benches and our adventure began :-). This young man is a local and really knows his history! He asked us how much information we’d like to know: a lot of detail, some detail, not interested in history, local facts, etc so he tailored it to our preferences which we loved. He gave us the right amount of details plus answered our questions as we spent the day together. The jeep was fun as it was what I expected….I wanted something different than being in a van. In the jeep, he was able to take us to some ‘off road’ coastal sites that you won’t see on a typical tour (he’s a good driver and didn’t have us ping ponging in the back..just enough bumping around to make it fun). The views were spectacular!! He suggested two restaurants, one a lovely seafood place with a beautiful view of the ocean of the cliff side (which we chose) and a local Portuguese place. I had the octopus which was delicious!! After castles in the morning, lunch around 2:30, then the rest of the day headed down the coast from beautiful views from atop the cliffs, it was a truly memorable tour. Next time we are back in the area, we will be hiring Tiago for the tour!! Thank you Ti for an amazing day ;-)

Wonderful day with Tiago! - Spending the day with Taigo was the highlight of our trip with our three teens. We enjoyed seeing the local landscape, touring the castles, and eating the local food. Our short off-roading experience to the viewpoints by the coast was the icing on the cake! Tiago was super fun and knowledgeable and was very easy to relate to. Highly recommend.

SUPER GREAT...Tiago for President!!!! - Highly recommend. A+ 5-Star. GREAT experience. Our guide Tiago was a local young man who clearly loves the area and was very informative and kind. Good energy. Good, prompt communication. Flexible to our schedule and provided great tips for efficient visits at Pena, Montserrat and others. Especially great was the journey to non-tourist area along cliffs above Cascais. Tiago for President :)

A+++ tour! Do it! - We had an amazing day with Andre in Sintra and Cascais!! We learned so much from him and he really took the time to personalize our day! We loved the main stops, short stops only locals would know about, food recommendations and the views! The jeep was a fun way to travel! We felt like we got three tours in one day! Thank you for a great day!!

Amazing Jeep Tour through Sintra - We had an amazing private tour of Sintra with our guide Tiago , a friendly local young man who drove us around in his open-air jeep. He was incredibly responsive during planning, tailored the day based on his great advice, took us to two beautiful palaces, arranged a lively seaside lunch at Bar do Fundo and showed us stunning viewpoints. We ended the day in Cascais feeling like we saw the very best of the region. Highly recommend!

Perfect private Sintra tour with local guy André - André was a fantastic guide for our first trip to Sintra. We were a group of 4 Americans and Canadians in our 60's. We loved the Portuguese built jeep that allowed us to go places a tour bus could never go and see sights you probably won't see on other tours. André speaks excellent English and he is a local guy, born and raised in Sintra so he knows all the cool corners of the area. He isn't rushed at all and is always checking in to see if we are happy. He was very flexible and communicates very well at all times using Whatsapp. He has lots of knowledge of the history of Sintra and of modern Sintra. The price was very fair and we would definitely do this tour again.
