Sintra From Lisbon - Quinta Regaleira | カボ・ダ・ロカ＆コーストライン

This tour is an absolute must and felt so authentic and real. Our tour guide, Pedro, was such an energy booster and provided the perfect mix of insightful information and lightheaded laughs throughout the day. The itinerary is perfect because you get to Sintra early and then during peak tourist times you go to all the different hidden gems that this tour offers. The food was spectacular too and Pedro had a few other treats up his sleeve. My brother and I have been traveling around Europe for 2 1/2 weeks and this was easily one of our favorite days of the whole trip, I really can't speak highly enough of both Pedro and the tour itself!!

I hesitated to take this tour because I heard Sintra is very crowded and chaotic. The rumors are true but this tour and our guide João had a way of helping us to experience it without being impacted by the crowds much. Every stop on the tour is magical and João quickly helped a group of strangers feel like friends. There were 8 of us plus our guide. I’m very happy I decided to go and experience the beautiful places and João’s passion for Portugal, Sintra, and people.

Pedro was an incredible guide and the trip was a an absolute must for an authentic Portuguese experience. 10/10 would do again. Best part of the trip for sure. Got to see a lot of Sintra and the surrounding area. Got to experience some authentic cuisine and feel welcome amongst the locals. I feel like I made friends beyond just the trip. Can’t put a price on this.

I will start this review by saying I would recommend this tour and Keep it Local tours to EVERYONE I know coming to Portugal. From start to finish João was energetic and kept the group engaged. We truly had a local experience but didn’t get to miss out on the tourist experience. We saw all the big sites (Quinta de Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, etc.) but the timing was perfect so there were hardly any other groups of tourists there at the time. The local experience was unmatched, from the restaurant for lunch to the routes we took, you really had a glimpse into local life in Sintra. We learned so much about the history from João that you do not get from other tours. He played local music and engaged with the whole group throughout the day, catering to everyone’s needs. The price is also unbeatable for the experience. Book with Keep it Local, you will not regret it!

Sintra Tour with Pedro was fantastic! Sm group, very personal and fun. We learned lots and saw all as advertised. Pedro is very knowledgeable and personable and knew the best place for an unbelievable lunch!. Pickup and drop off in Lisbon was easy. Highly recommend this day tour.

If you’re looking for a fun and well paced day tour that combines, an amazing guide with great knowledge of all things Lisbon, enjoy a well paced tour that keeps you interested and engaged, and is filled with little surprises and delights along the way, then you must book this tour. Of course there are many other tours, and I can’t vouch for them, but I am so glad I came across this company. Duarte, our guide, is warm and welcoming and all I will say is you will have a great day!

Deheart was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about the area, has a very positive personality, and is very charismatic. The trip itself was very enjoyable. I’d do it all over again!

I reviewed lots of tours before booking this one. It was my birthday and I wanted it to be memorable. Wow, what an amazing day. Combine 8 fun zone people from different corners of the world, 1 funny and crazy tour guide (Pedro), 9 hour day, beautiful places to learn about and you have got the perfect combination for a fantastic day. We visited castles, sandy beaches with large waves, amazing restaurant with local cuisine and the farthest western point of Europe. Pedro shared local history and his Portuguese hospitality. Thank you for making my birthday better than I could have even imagined.

First thing in the morning, the charming, knowledgeable and helpful Bernardo (“Benny”) picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon, in a very nice van. At our request we made a quick stop for coffee and quiches, then he drove us north to the grotto de San Antonio, the most impressive cave system any of us had seen. About 1.6 km walking route underground, (handrails and ropes throughout) beautifully lit with natural-colored (white) light. We proceeded from there to the gothic Batalha monastery for a look. Then to the Taberna d’Adélia in Nazaré for a fantastic lunch with the most delicious Moqueca camarão stew and fresh lobster anywhere! We returned to Lisbon after a look at the famous surfing beach and lighthouse at Nazaré. Though it was May, and not high surf season, we appreciated the views of the water and seeing the place we were so familiar with from “100 foot Wave”. Benny was surprised that our prior experiences in Portugal had informed us to create such a specific tailored itinerary. Every moment worthwhile, despite the somewhat rainy day. We all felt comfortable, safe and secure with Benny’s excellent driving,

This was an exceptional tour! Our guide Duarte was very informative and knowledgeable! The lunch was so delicious! Thank you so much. Loved Sintra and beautiful Cascais!
