Diogo was absolutely amazing as a tour guide (and human!) and our family had the most incredible tour day. We loved hearing all about Portugal’s history and we soaked in all the architectural and historical details of our two stops in Sintra: Regaleira and Pena Palace. We received timed tickets in both locations and were able to explore at our own pace, while enriched by the many historical and architectural details pointed out by our very knowledgeable and passionate guide, Diogo. We would highly recommend this tour experience to a magical area!
We did our tour with Diogo and he was fantastic. His knowledge of history as well as the local area enhanced our tour experience.
Excellent visit in French with Diego
It is a wonderful tour, with a very interesting history about Syntra, which is magnificent, with its castles and greenery. We greatly appreciated the tour with José, who had the very difficult task of expressing himself in several languages during the excursion. He was very attentive to ensure that each of us followed the narration well. Thank you again for this beautiful experience.
Our guide José was very nice, very caring, and provided very understandable information.
It was a nice and beautiful day. Great pace and good story teller.
Excellent trip highly recommend for anyone who loves castles, beautiful gardens and history. We had Diogo as our tour guide who was amazing, it makes your trip when you have someone who is very passionate about what they know and wishes to share the knowledge and beauty of their country with you. If you do this tour and get this guide you are in for a brilliant experience 👍

José was our guide, and my goodness was he excellent. My husband and I love to go on a guided tour whenever we visit someplace new, and we felt so lucky to have a guide who is not only knowledgeable but most importantly passionate about the info. He was so fervent when presenting knowledge throughout Quinta da Regaleira. My husband and I were both glad we chose to go with a guide because otherwise, we would have been overwhelmed with how large this place is and how much it offers. Really a “choose your own adventure” type of situation. So thankfully José had mapped out a strategic route throughout the palace grounds that left us feeling satisfied and filled. If you ever have a choice in the matter, ask for José as your guide!
