Description
Some days are best left unscripted. With Swingo's private driver-guide, you decide the day and we make it happen: the palaces of Sintra with your Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira tickets already booked, the cliffs of Cabo da Roca and the seaside at Cascais, the sanctuary at Fátima, the walled town of Óbidos, or simply the corners of Lisbon you have not seen yet. Your driver is a certified local guide, so you get the history, the context and the right recommendations, not just the wheel. Tell us your wish list and your guide turns it into the day's route, pre-books your monument tickets on request, handles the parking and the queues, and adapts the pace to children, seniors and wheelchair users. We drive comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles with Wi-Fi on board. An electric vehicle is available on request and enters Lisbon's low-emission centre without restrictions. A car takes up to 4 passengers and a van up to 8; for larger groups we add a second vehicle (up to 16 in total).

wonderful tour with Alexandre
We had such a wonderful day with Alexandre! He took us to the beautiful palaces of Sintra, along some incredible coastal sights, and all the way back to Lisbon. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and attentive throughout the entire day, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Beyond the tour itself, Alexandre gave us so many great recommendations and tips for the rest of our time in Lisbon and Porto, which made our trip even better. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and wants them to have the best experience possible. We would highly recommend this tour and especially Alexandre as a guide!

A great day in Lisbon
We had a wonderful day with Carlos. He listened to our thoughts on where we should go and then added some other suggestions. It ended up being a perfect day. We saw everything on out bucket list and then some. He also helped with my 80+ year old parents so they could enjoy the day at their speed. I could not ask for more.

Best day in Sintra and Cascais - highlight of trip!
Tiago was absolutely phenomenal and made our day trip to Sintra and Cascais one of the highlights of our time in Portugal. From the very beginning, his communication before the trip was excellent, and we felt completely confident that everything was well organized. He was a wonderful driver and made sure we were able to visit all of the places we wanted to see throughout the day without ever feeling rushed. His car was extremely comfortable, which was especially appreciated during a full day of sightseeing. What really made the experience special, though, was Tiago himself. We had fantastic conversations throughout the day about Portuguese culture, history, the places we were visiting, and life in Portugal. He was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to spend the day with. We could not have asked for a better driver or experience. We would highly recommend Tiago to anyone visiting the Lisbon, Sintra, or Cascais area and would absolutely book with him again!
