Amazing experience touring the Sintra mountains with Benedito! He was really friendly and knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations for tapas afterwards. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful experience. Carolina drove us in her Jeep from Sintra to Cascais and gave us interesting background information about cultural sites and its history.

First time to Sintra & so lucky for us that we met Benedito near Sintra station - friendly & very very helpful. So glad that we decided to take a tour with him. So knowledgeable about Sintra - took us to such beautiful places - and with interesting & amusing stories & insights. It wasn’t just sightseeing - it was like travelling with a friend showing you the place he loves! With such excellent English - his explanations and stories capture the charm that you won’t get elsewhere. Thank you Benedito!!

We came to Sintra with no real plan and only a few selected destinations and only knew that we wanted to see / will see a few castles. When we arrived in Sintra we were overwhelmed by the size and spaciousness of the place. We came across Carolina by chance on the way to Pena Palace, wanted to go the way ourselves first and then decided to just ask what a tour would look like. Carolina was super friendly from the beginning and when we realized that the tour was more in line with our expectations than riding uphill for hours and then having some nice photos but not experiencing Sintra as a whole, we decided to do the tour. We got in the little jeep and started the ride, which was incredible. The nature of Sintra is unique and Carolina has brought us closer to the wonderful history of the place, without which we would not know how this place has become as it is today. We had several stops for some historical facts and photos of the beautiful surroundings and even for a sneak peek at the local weekend market. Carolina was super friendly, helpful and personable throughout the tour and conveyed the flair of Sintra wonderfully! Carolina gave us some recommendations at the end and we visited the castle of Quinta da Regaleira after the tour, which was within walking distance for us. In summary, we were incredibly lucky and are super happy to have done the tour! Thank you Carolina, it was a pleasure!

We took a guided tour in Sintra today and honestly, I highly recommend this company! Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. She showed us all the main attractions, but also pointed out so many little details we never would have noticed on our own. On top of that, she shared the history behind everything, which made the experience so much more meaningful — we learned a lot! Truly, if we had tried to do this by ourselves, we would have missed so much… and it would have been almost impossible to do it all on foot anyway. An all-around amazing experience from start to finish. 100% recommend!

Benedito was an exceptional tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the Sintra area and took the time to answer questions and provide history of the castles. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to tour Sintra.

We took a tuk tuk tour in Sintra with Bendito and it was honestly such an amazing experience! Bendito was incredibly kind and explained everything so well, you could really tell he cared about making the tour special. He made sure we were comfortable the whole time and took the effort to share so much about the area, which made it even more interesting and enjoyable. It was such a lovely way to explore Sintra, and I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting!
