Hi there! Nice to meet you
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.

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

We booked this tour at the beginning of June for our family of 6: grandma, grandpa, dad, mom, a teenager and a 5-year old. Nelson was amazing everyone second of the tour! Portugal was at the beginning of our European vacation and after being in many tours in 2 other countries I can honestly say this was the best and was worth every single penny. From the company providing a booster seat for my 5-year old, to providing water and sunscreen, to taking us to a local restaurant and just giving us the best overall experience one could ask for. We stayed in Lisbon but wanted to see Sintra and only had 1 day to do so, booking this tour definitely helped us see so much more. Nelson was super knowledgable and answered all of our questions. I will definitely book this tour time and time again when I go back to Portugal! Best Day Trip for our family with Nelson!

Our family of 5 had an amazing day in Sintra with Joao and his open top jeep. from start to finish, it was perfect. He met us at the train station and we hopped in and set off. Sintra is gorgeous; lush and green with beauty around every corner. Joao took us to the Qunita da Regaleira, an amazing palace with gorgeous grounds and gardens, featuring the Initiation Well, based on Dante's Inferno, which was incredible. We viewed a couple more palaces with Joao giving us the history, and then went for a delicious lunch - we all opted for the fresh tuna grilled, with sides and dessert. one of our best meals in Portugal and we love good food! Then some incredible scenery, cliffs, beaches off-roading in the jeep. An amazing way to see Sintra. Joao was a fantastic host and guide and we could nto recommend him more!Fantastic day in Sintra!
