We have the most wonderful time with Miguel. His attention to detail, his knowledge and love of the area, his caring and ability to provide excellent service was superb. 5 star service!
Very great knowledgeable and professional guide will highly recommend him and the fact he also lives around the area is a bonus. He recommended other places to visit that were not on the itinerary
I really appreciate your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I’m glad the tour left a good impression. Thank you for your kind words. Miguel L
Our private Sintra tour was amazing! Everything was perfectly organized—from hotel pickup to drop-off. Our guide(Mike) was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of time for photos and local stops. Sintra felt like a fairytale, and having a private guide made the experience completely stress-free and unforgettable. Highly recommend! 🇵🇹✨

Miguel was the perfect host for our private tour! He made sure we saw the things we wanted to see and helped us manage our schedule, including an amazing lunch restaurant recommendation. Steamed clams with an ocean view… perfection!

We wanted to see three palaces, in between we went out for a simple but sensational lunch and then Capo da roca! Also the tip with the train ride home from Cascais was great.

We had an amazing time with Mike! He took us up to Pena Palace, to a traditional Portuguese food restaurant, and to Cascais. We saw much more than we expected to. Mike was very knowledgeable and when there was a traffic jam he drove around the side streets and helped us make it to the palace on time. 100% recommend this tour!

Miguel (Mike) was an excellent well informed guide. He picked us up at the airport on time with no delays or issues. Mike took us to Fatima and Belem pointing out high lights along the way. At the end of that trip he insisted on taking us to see the Lisbon sunset. It was amazing and afterwards we walked through Alfama. We were 5 with a 3 year and he catered to each one of us. Our family had a wedding which is why he went to Portugal and Mike was our driver being on call to transport us to the church, reception and then back to our Airbnb. If you ever go to Portugal take one of these tours with Miguel. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you for your great review . I also had a great time Showing you around. It was a big pleasure meeting all of you, you have a charming family. Hope to see you soon so we can show you some more hidden gems in Portugal. Best Regards, Mike
This tour was truly a highlight of our trip! We had an amazing day visiting Sintra as well as two of the palaces and the coastline. A definite must do for anyone you'll only want to keep going back. The gardens and palaces are gorgeous, as is the town and coastline. Our guide Mike was the best guide we've ever had - very knowledgeable, friendly, funny and let us spend time where we wanted to most. We were also able to skip wait lines. This is the best way to do Sintra :) Wear good shoes as there are some hills to walk!
