Leave the bustle of the city and meet the most stunning places around Lisbon. What better way to do this than with me? I'll be your private driver and local insider for the day! Jump in my back seat and marvel at the coastal views as we drive to beautiful Sintra and Cascais!
Everyones got a story to tell and oh boy, am I a Story Teller... Together with my friends I'm here to show you the unique and incredible town we call home – Sintra! We've lived here all of our lives and we can honestly say that we still fall in love with this place every. single. day.
This magical place will bring you to a world of fairytales, princesses, Castles and caves!! In our tour we combine the most popular sights with hidden spots for you and your friends to enjoy!
Miguel picked us up right on time (he was early) and was so enjoyable ! He arranged for our luggage to be transported ahead of our group to alleviate the stress of managing it throughout the tour. We saw Pena Palace and he provided the local history. He arranged the tickets and made sure we knew where to go and when to be there. Our time in Sintra was beautiful and the pastries along the way were delicious! He is an excellent guide and so accommodating. I highly recommend a day tour with Miguel!!

My favorite tour
This tour was by far our favorite out of the many tours we did throughout our 10 day trip. Our guides were both informative and fun, the perfect mix for a day trip. It was obvious they love what they do and have taken the time to put together a thoughtful itinerary for their guests. The scenery was breathtaking and we spent just enough time at each stop before moving on to the next. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you will not regret it.

Hire the cool locals!
10/10 Highly Recommend – Sintra with Mario was Unforgettable!
If you’re even thinking about doing a tour of Sintra, do yourself a favor and book it with Mario. From the very start, it felt less like a typical guided tour and more like exploring with a good friend who just happens to know every hidden gem, every shortcut, and everyone in town.
He took us to places we never would’ve found on our own—quiet lookouts, tucked-away spots with unbelievable views, and local joints where he greeted the staff like family. The food? Incredible. Think authentic Portuguese cuisine you’d miss without insider tips, and Mario made sure we felt like locals every step of the way.
He drove us around in this super cool jeep that adds a bit of adventure to the ride (fair warning—no seatbelts, so you will feel like a teenager again!). But that’s all part of the adventure. It was the perfect mix of excitement, beauty, and real connection to Sintra.
Hands down one of the best days we’ve had on this vacation. Can’t recommend Mario and his buddies enough!

An amazing day with Bruno!
We had an amazing full day tour with Bruno. The Monserrat Palace and beautiful views off the beaten path were perfect. The lunch spot was also amazing!
