About Tour Guide Francisco O.

Hi! I'm Francisco :) I´m a local guide, born and raised in sintra. I know sintra many years before the turism started, before 1996, it was my playground and a place for locals. I heard many legends about mysticism, secrets and sintra stories, told by local elders. Later I joined a group in sintra and deepened my historical knowledge and the Portuguese spiritual tradition linked to the Templars and knights of order of christ. The passion for history comes from my father, a history teacher and a monarch. Now, I'm responsible for sharing my passion and knowledge in a immersing guided view of Sintra, Quinta-da-Regaleira, and Pena Palace, and the keeper of the first "door" to sintra history culture and spirituality.

The mist of time hides many stories of the old Sintra (luminous star). This captivating tour will guide you through a history of romanticism, medieval ideals, and mysticism. Starting in the national renaissance palace, to the alley ofjudiaria with the old synagogue, to the house of the templars, to the church of Saint Martin (knight templar), to a guided visit, in Quinta da Regaleira. There we will retrace the initiation rites of the templars/maçons gnostic order.

“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.

Hi, I have a passion for showing my country, I have worked over 18 years in the telecom corporate business, all around the world. But one day, six years ago I decide to move on. I love to tell the legends, the stories and the histories of the places we visit, I also love to show the monuments, the traditions and the beautiful nature Portugal has. I like, during the tours, a good conversation about life experiences or just about the day to day. Join me in visiting our amazing Portugal.

We are mindful of the changes the tourism boom has brought to Lisbon in recent years, which is why we support the art of hospitality without neglecting our genuine Lisboan identity and this is what we will share with you. We like detours and how they keep surprising us. We might stop for 20 minutes to see the sunset or take a walk and go have a ginginha at that special place. We don’t want your trip to Lisbon to taste like a frozen meal. What we serve here is homemade and freshly prepared.
