Sintra Tour Reviews
“Excellent Day with Francisco”
We had a wonderful 8 hour tour of four palaces in Sintra. Firstly, even though we had a rental car, this is not a tour that we could have done on our own. The maze of streets and few hidden parking spots would have likely meant that we would have has to miss sites. Also, gps doesn’t work on the volcanic mountain. Second, he has an excellent knowledge of the sites, and of Portuguese and world history. He also is an excellent story teller, and a great guy. Francisco picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which was helpful. Moreover, he grew up in Sintra, and now lives nearby so he knows a lot of people, and picked an excellent, simple local restaurant for lunch. If we did it again, would spend an extra night in Sintra and do a second day of touring with him. Highly recommend a tour with him.
“Sintra and Cascais tour with Rodrigo”
Rodrigo was substituted for Joao as my guide on the Sintra and Cascais tour. His English communication skills were excellent. We visited the Queluz Palace and his knowledge of the history of the palace really enhanced the visit. We also stopped at Cabo de Roca , did some shopping in Sintra and stopped for lunch in Cascais. Drove along the coast in the seaside town of Estoril on our return to Lisbon. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend Rodrigo’s tour guide services.
“Great Tour in Sintra”
Francisco was extremely knowledgeable and gave our group a fantastic tour. His local knowledge and experience made this a special day. Highly recommend touring with him when in the area!

Whether you want to spend extra time exploring the lush gardens of the National Palace or prefer a leisurely lunch at a local eatery sampling Portuguese delicacies, your guide will accommodate your wishes. This flexibility makes the experience far more enjoyable and less exhausting, especially given Sintra’s hilly terrain and the abundance of attractions to see.
Moreover, private guides often have insider knowledge and local connections that can enhance your visit in unexpected ways. They can recommend the best times to visit certain sites to avoid crowds, suggest the most scenic spots for photography, and share stories and legends that you won’t find in guidebooks.
