Hi there! Nice to meet you

Francisco & Friends

Since we were little boys our mothers have complained about our wild streaks, bruised knees, small cuts and a broken arm or two are, after all, part of the fun. This naturally evolved into a fascination for vintage jeeps and everything that would let us explore Sintra as fun as possible. Amazed by this mystical place and the hidden secrets of the mountains that surround it, we decided to explore and learn about this region as much as we could in order to become one of the most knowledgeable experts in town. Our fascination for classic cars led us to completely restore a very special model: the UMM. Today we're lucky to say that our job is to share with other people the very best this region has to offer
. This experience is not recommended for people with reduced mobility, back problems, pregnant women or kids under 12 years old.

We had an incredible personalized Jeep tour of Sintra with Bruno — truly a highlight of our trip! Despite some gloomy weather in the first half of the day, Bruno came prepared with blankets and umbrellas, making sure we were comfortable and still having fun. He kept our two tween daughters engaged the entire time with his energy, humor, and fun facts — a rare and much-appreciated skill! Bruno struck the perfect balance with his commentary, giving us just enough history and architectural insight to keep things interesting without it ever feeling overwhelming. His choice of music added to the vibe and made the drive between stops even more enjoyable. One of the biggest highlights was lunch at a true local gem — cozy and authentic, with a delicious soup to warm us up and two more outstanding courses that left us full and happy. From start to finish, Bruno delivered a thoughtful, fun, and well-paced day that worked perfectly for our family. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience Sintra beyond the usual! Awesome Jeep tour of Sintra with Bruno!

Mario was a great driver, fun, kind, & a good sport to put up with our crazy humor! Our group of 4 (late 50s) group really enjoyed the Jeep, tour, ocean views & conversations with Mario. Lunch was a 10 too! Even with road closures…Mario figured it out. Favorite tour guide

The highlight of our trip to Lisbon was our day trip to Sintra! It is a magical place and our guide João was amazing! The tour to the Palácio das Regaleiras was so unique! The lunch in Sintra and then the trip to the beaches, everything just stunning! Highly highly recommend! A magical day in Sintra

We did a Sintra Jeep tour with Ruben and had an absolutely fabulous day. This was possibly my favorite day of our entire vacation. We loved the combination of experiences that made the day filled to the brim with history, spectacular food, stunning views, and a fun Jeep experience. Ruben was a truly wonderful guide- incredibly knowledgeable about the history, vegetation, and life in this part of Portugal. He struck a perfect balance of casual and laid back yet professional and informative. The lunch was one of our favorite meals of the entire trip as well. We would recommend this tour to anyone and would request Ruben for an extra great day! Our favorite day of our trip!

We had a great time seeing the Sintra area with Andres. Lunch at Francisco’s house was special and delicious! I’d highly recommend the jeep tour - it’s a great way to see a lot of the area that would be inaccessible with the tour! Great time in Sintra

This was an amazing tour! The guides worked with us to create a perfect day suited exactly to what we wanted. We got to do and see so much. The jeeps were a great and unique way to experience Sintra and a ton of fun. Highly recommend!

My family & I had the most amazing day with Nelson. He was so much fun & so knowledgeable about Sintra & surrounds. The jeep ride (& jeep “massage”) & the delicious lunch were absolute highlights. I can’t recommend Nelson more highly. 10 out of 10!!Awesome day in Sintra
