This is a moderate hike, taking you across the beautiful village of Sintra, where it all will be explained, from the National Palace of Sintra to how impact of the earthquake of 1755 affected the village to the people ways of life, but mostly on our way to the Castle, we will take a path which is so green and unique that you will see little details not showed to so many others!
Our tour is very personal and being that some of us did belong to the boy scouts at one point, we know our way around as few do!

Sophia and Sintra......a Fabulous Duo!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00After a wonderful trip to Portugal, I need to sing praises for Sintra by Sophia!! Sophia’s company had been recommended to me by a friend and I immediately contacted her. She responded with a warm greeting and was delighted to help plan a private tour to Sintra for the 12 friends we were traveling with. Sophia immediately secured two vans and two guides and outlined the day from pick-up at our hotel in Lisbon to the sites of Sintra to a fabulous lunch by the ocean to more sites and then back to the hotel. There was only one issue that was a disappointment to us all....Sophia became ill and could not come on the tour, however, in her absence, she sent two wonderful women to guide our day. Everyone was thrilled with their kindness, knowledge and presentation and loved their sense of humor. They went over and above in every way. Sophia checked in with me several times with genuine concern of how our day went and I could only respond with pleasure. Sophia and her company are AWESOME!!! I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Warmest regards, Sophia!
