Great tour of Sintra, visited viewpoints we would not have seen otherwise. Would recommend, thank you.
Tiago makes the tuk-tuk tour a great experience and is very personable. You get a great overview of Sintra, the Pena Palace with historical background, and other palaces and parks, and upon request, tips for restaurants too.
Super reliable, funny, informative. Would do it again anytime. Rarely have I taken such a nice tour. Thanks Tiago 👏👏
Very nice and cozy guide. Was very easy to reach with questions beforehand. He enjoys his work, a real recommendation!!
It's fantastic!! It was a very good day with an easy walk!
We loved the experience. Tiago was excellent. We highly recommend! Top!
Tiago Costa was a fantastic guide! Very talkative and have very interesting facts and information about the different palaces and castles in a clear manner. Also took very good photos for me and my mum and a took a cute Polaroid photo of us. He was very pleasant and polite. This is a good tour if you wanted an overview of all the sites and to go see the monuments (with entry tickets) that spark your interest the most next day or later in the day as we did. Tiago kindly drove us to the old town afterwards, but did offer to drop us at the top of pena palace to see the gardens. Very flexible guide.
This is the perfect tour if you have a short period of time and yet want to know about Sintra and wish to see the major attractions and take beautiful photos without the long walks. Tiago and Svenja were fun and had the right amount of information to keep both the adults and kids interested! Thank you for a wonderful tour!
Excellent knowledge with beautiful views. Well worth the money. Highly recommend. Oriented us to the city and helped us enjoy the rest of our stay. Great restaurant recommendations! Thank you Tiago and Carol!!!
Tiago gave us a relaxed and interesting tour. It felt very personal to his home of Sintra and we enjoyed it very much.
