City Highlight Tours in Sintra

Sofia was absolutely lovely. She was nice, high-energy, and filled with interesting information about the town's history and present. It was rainy, so we couldn't do the original planned hike, but Sofia came up with a great alternative tour and we had a wonderful time, finding out all sorts of things and going places we never would have gone on our own. Our children (7, 10, and 13) had a great time, too. Thank you, Sofia!

We loved our morning with Sofia in Sintra. She entertained us and our 2 boys (age 9 and 11) with interesting facts and fascinating stories. She showed us things and told us stories we could have never seen or learned without such a skillful guide! We will definitely connect with her again the next time we are in Portugal! Sofia gets our highest recommendation!

We loved our tour of Sintra with Sofia! We intentionally chose this tour and added a tour of Quinta da Regaleira. The pace was perfect for our 10 year old. Sofia grew up in the area so is able to share more than just memorized facts. She loves Sintra—the history and the beauty. While our daughter was a little antsy about a 4-hour tour, she didn’t want it to end! We needed a stop for coffee and a snack, and she took us to the most perfect place. Then she walked us to the place she recommended for lunch as our tour ended and pointed out where to return for pastries before our trip back to Lisbon.

During our visit to Sintra, Portugal was going through a heat wave. But somehow Sofia still made our experience great! Our group consisted of my husband and I, our two toddlers, and my parents. Instead of walking up to the castle like we had planned, Sofia helped us to catch a bus so that the kids and grandparents would be more comfortable. Once we arrived at the castle, Sofia had great stories and information about the castle that kept everyone engaged and having fun. Afterwards, Sofia helped us to find an amazing restaurant in town before we caught our train back to Lisbon. I wish the weather had cooperated so we could have done more hiking, but Sofia did an excellent job at adjusting her plans to make sure we all could still enjoy Sintra and have a great time. Thank you, Sofia!!
