City built on a mountain-side, so bring your hiking boots and plenty of stamina. Interesting architecture, limited parking, and plenty of touristy shops.

This person is judging me, blaming me because of Sintra geography (unbelievable uh), being hilly. Even more incredible The TripAdvisor Viator review content team insists on not removing this comment (affecting my evaluation negatively). eih Viator Staff, knoc knoc, he is speaking about the territory... This person was NEVER my guest. I DO NOT offer any type of hiking tours. I tour only use urban areas and I provide a VEHICLE for the guests to move around. This makes no sense but TripAdvisor Viator does not care about the providers (Evaluations) of the tours (I) offered. They keep sending me automatic messages blaming me for the Sintra topography. How “amazing” is that?! My advice, Yes use comfortable shoes not just in Sintra but everywhere – tourism destination - in Portugal (is hilly).

Wonderful Day With Nuno
Yesterday we had a wonderful full-day tour of Sintra with Nuno Sophiatours. We covered a lot, learned a lot and and the logistics were orchestrated perfectly. Nuno is very knowledgeable and a very pleasant guide. We, a family of four adults, two older and two younger, would recommend Nuno as your tour guide anywhere near and around Lisbon. Five gold stars!

Sintra: a Historic Layer Cake of Portugal
Nuno picked us (family of 4) up at the Sintra station and we toured from his vehicle to:
-Pena Palace
-Moorish Castle
-Quinta da Regaleira (including a walk through The Well)
-Cabo da Roca
This included ~15k steps and ~1000ft of elevation, though we explicitly asked to maximize walking, and Nuno gave us options to walk less.
Sintra itself is a layer cake of the history of Portugal, from pre-pagan through modern times, and the sites seen are an excellent way to experience this. It's also naturally very beautiful, and we had excellent weather.
Nuno had a program of information to share that touched upon all aspects of this history, but what I appreciated most was his willingness to flexibly go "off topic"; I interrogated him on 20th century history, current geopolitics, and other destinations off the beaten path to name a few (currently looking forward to jogging in Cascais). His depth of knowledge is impressive and he was excited by my curiosity.
I highly recommend Sintra, and I highly recommend Nuno specifically.

A Wonderful Day in Sintra
Nuno is a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. If you want to get a good understanding of Sintra and its history Nuno is "your guy". His English is very good. Rather than have Nuno pick us up in Lisbon we took the train from Rossio station. This gave us more time with Nuno in Sintra to see a few more things. We had a very enjoyable day with Nuno.

A wonderful day in Sintra
Nuno is a very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. If you want to get a good understanding of the sights of Sintra and its history you'll enjoy having Nuno as your guide. Although Nuno will pick you up in Lisbon, we took the train from Rossio Station. This saved Nuno time and allowed us to see a few more things. We had a very enjoyable day with Nuno.

Spectacular Sintra Tour.
Nuno was truly a great guide. He was extremely knowledgeable as to history and so many details. Our daughter even had a broken foot and a knee scooter and he went out of his way to accommodate us. He was also right on time and spoke English very well. All in all it was an excellent tour thanks to Viator and our guide Nuno.

Tour with Nuno ruined the rest of our trip
We booked a private, all day tour with Nuno because we wanted to stay safer then being in a van with a bunch of people with Covid numbers on the rise. We were with him all day in Sintra. Two days later, he informed us he had Covid. We could tell he was not feeling well during the trip, but he said he just had a mild cough. We were very upset that he did not inform us he was not feeling well prior to the trip, as we would have elected to cancel. It messed up the rest of our trip. He has shown little remorse. We can’t recommend a tour with him.

This mediocre women Cindy Golish is a complete liar is a bad client and guest for anyone who is honest like me and hardworking. This person wanted to extort me money to compensate the money she decided to lose in another city, after doing a tour with me in Sintra. She also tried on FACEBOOK to destroy my image. Touring with me she had all the best time, smiles, happiness, information prior and not a single time or moment she decided to leave or end the tour. She felt no uncomfortable situation and said it had been a great tour in the end, and so payed me. After, 2 days later, she blames me for her mistakes. Lost money in Porto by her own decision and creates a horrific accusation to extort me for money. I have proof she is being a liar, and I will show to anyone who asks. I took great care of her and never put her or her husband at risk, NEVER. If TRIP Advisor decides to leave this totally unfair and FAKE review here, it just shows how this woman is and will try to destroy my business as any other she may participate in. Be careful tour operators. To all my guests you know me, and the reviews here, and everywhere, fortunately these speak for themselves. I ask Tripadvisor to take this review from here please. This is an injustice

An absolutely perfect tour and guide!
I highly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to visit Sintra and the surrounding area. The guide personalized the visit and it was one of the best tours I've had during decades of traveling the world.
