What a lovely way to see Sintra, the coast, and a little local charm! Daniel did a great job showing us the area in this private tour. We learned a lot about the history and the area, as well as Portuguese cultural and stories. Lunch was at a little local diner, up in the hills and we felt very welcomed. All in all, it was a fabulous way to see the area and would recommend this tour; espcially if you like to take things on your own time!

Daniel is a one of a kind tour guide, he takes pride on what he does , he loves Portugal and have a passion for what he does which all translates into an amazing tour. He goes beyond and is super accommodating. His knowledge on the area and the sightings is spot on (we checked lol) and he is just all around a great guy. We typically don’t do tours as we prefer to explore on our own but had limited time and wanted to ensure we hit the highlights and decided to book this tour. Best decision we made. We truly enjoyed and we are thankful that Daniel was the person to give us the intro to Portugal. Already planning an extended stay in the next year and will be asking Daniel to rake us around!!
