Sintra Ganztägige Privattour

If you are visiting Sintra, you must book a tour with Susanna! She spent 8 hours guiding our family (including two teenagers) and kept every single one of us completely engaged the entire day. Susanna is incredibly professional, brilliant with history, and knows all the local shortcuts and hidden insider surprises to avoid the crowds.She even helped us pick the perfect lunch spot and carefully walked us through the menu to make sure our family would love it—and we absolutely did! Listening to her recommendations made our day seamless. We already decided that on our next trip to Lisbon, our first call will be to book another tour with Susanna.

Our tour with Susanna was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. As an official Portugal tour guide, her knowledge of the country’s history, culture, and traditions is truly exceptional. Every place we visited came to life through her stories and insights, making the experience far more meaningful than simply seeing the sights. What made the day even more special was Susanna herself. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive throughout the tour. We had a few medical considerations, and she went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable, adjusting the pace when needed and checking in on us without ever making us feel like an inconvenience. She also knows all the best spots for stunning photos, so we came home with beautiful memories as well as a much deeper appreciation for Portugal. If you’re looking for more than just a sightseeing tour, and want a genuine cultural experience led by someone who is passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her guests, I couldn’t recommend Susanna more highly. She turned a wonderful day into an unforgettable one.

We had an amazing time. Our Guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and took extra time to explain everything to us. We would recommend this trip and guide Susana to anyone who wants to see real history in Portugal. The palace is were amazing and beautiful.

Wonderful and highly Recommend! Suzanna was a wonderful tour guide- if you can request her you should! It was a private tour of Sintra- we saw Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - she picked us up near our Airbnb and because we were early she took us to grab some coffee and pastry before we started the day. My kids (15 & 17) were thankful and we appreciate the flexibility! She was so knowledgeable and knew all the secrets of every place and also took us to the famous place for the Sintra “pillow pastry”! She took amazing pics of the family along the way and honestly we feel we became good friends with her after a wonderful day in Sintra. She was kind to drop us in Cascais at the end of the day so we can explore it on our own! Highly recommend this tour group and Suzanna! She gave us recs for Lisbon as well as Porto- our next stop! Truly a first class experience and encourage you to utilize this tour group!

Our tour of Sintra with Van Go Tourism was unforgettable. Nuno noticed our reluctance to take photos and selfies so he would put out his hand and say, “Give me your phone”. He captured the most remarkable moment when we walked the wall of the Pena Palace as he made a video of us circling the wall then recording a panoramic view of the skyline. He was walking backwards while we gripped the wall moving forward! His photo-taking skills are spectacular! Nuno gave us the most memorable visit in photos and videos. Just when we thought he couldn’t give us more personalized attention, he went above and beyond once more. While visiting Quinta da Regaleira we were in queue with a group of boisterous young visitors. Knowing my husband had difficulty hearing with his new cochlear implant in that environment, Nuno politely asked the group to quiet down so my husband could hear everything Nuno was describing to us. Service and attention to detail doesn’t get better than that. Throughout the trip, he introduced us to the historic charm and rich history of the country, weaving everything we saw into a moment when we realized our visit to Portugal with Van Go Tourism was now at the top of our “favorites” list. We cannot say enough about how outstanding our experience was with Van Go Tourism. We HIGHLY recommend you visit Portugal not just for its beauty, charm and history but even more so to experience the superb quality of service offered by Van Go Tourism. Thank you Margarida and Nuno for being the very best in your business.

I had no idea what a great tour this would actually be! Bernardo did a terrific job, very friendly and knowledgeable. Pena palace, moor castle, and regaleira were all amazing!

We had an incredible tour in Sintra. From the moment we were picked up to the drop-off, the entire experience was seamless and truly enjoyable. Our guide Susana was absolutely amazing! She is genuine, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much in just one day. She is also a wonderful storyteller who managed to keep my two boys engaged and intrigued throughout the entire day! This is our first visit to Portugal, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this beautiful country and its warm hospitality than our day with Susana!

Maria and our driver Miguel made the day special. They tailored the tour to our needs as my husband walks a little slower. They were very accommodating. They also made a great suggestion for a pastry in the morning and the story behind the pastry, and Miguel suggested a place for a quick lunch. Center was like Disneyland for adults and Maria was very knowledgeable about the history about the town the castles everything. We definitely got our moneys worth.

We had amazing experience with Susana! She was extremely knowledgeable and warm and great with my family and kids. Everyone had a great time and Susana and the company went out of their way to accommodate our needs with the grandparents and young kids (we had 20 month old and 4 year old) and my mom has a weak knee. When we’re back in Lisbon we’ll definitely book again!

Our Sintra tour guide, Rui. was exceptional—patient, informative, and attentive. They made history come alive, answered all our questions, and went out of their way to capture wonderful group photos. The entire experience exceeded expectations and made our day truly memorable. Highly recommend!
