Avoid the crowds and explore Sintra at your own pace with this private half-day tour through the town and its breathtaking surroundings. Ride comfortably aboard a Piaggio TukTuk and discover one of Portugal’s most enchanting regions in the company of a friendly local guide.

Wander through fairytale palaces and gardens, glide along winding forest roads, and—if you wish—follow the route toward the sea to admire breathtaking coastal views and charming seaside villages.

Our guide was Victoria. She was very friendly and explained everything clearly. We were really happy with the tour, the details, and all the information she shared with us about Sintra.

We arrived in Sintra without much of a plan for the day. Sergio arranged an itinerary for us, told us what to prioritize and how the self driving worked. He was available for questions and troubleshooting. We had an incredible time at Regeleira and the Park & Palace at Monserrate - so much so that the beach will have to wait for another day. Highly recommended!

We had a great time exploring at our own pace. The vehicle was great and easy to drive. Sergio and team were very helpful and shared a step by step route for us to follow which was perfect. Highly recommended if you want to cover Sintra in a few hours !

This was such an easy and fun way to get to the monuments. It saves so much time driving around instead of walking the big hills around Sintra. This way we could see everything we wanted to see during our quick day trip from Lisbon. Very pleasant to work with Sergio, he made it very easy for us to rent one, gave us suggestions and sent us route options via WhatsApp that we could reference while we were out and about.

Sergio was very kind and explained to us what are the must! Excellent Experience to recover all Sintra. You have the opportunity to discover every point of this amazing place. Beaches, forest and castles. I really recommend to hire and drive your own tour :)

We rented the car from Victoria and it was perfect for being able to see most of the major sights in Sintra. The car the fits two people and is automatic transmission, with a max speed of 50 km/h. It was fine taking it up the hilly roads and back down. Victoria was also really sweet and super helpful. Highly recommend if you want a do-it-yourself method of sightseeing around Sintra!

Very good for those who want to avoid kilometers of walking up and down hills. Because it's a smaller car, it's easier to park in super crowded places and in 3 hours you could see a lot of things for a much cheaper price than taking packages for tourists. I recommend.
