Absolutely amazing!!

One of the best tours I’ve been on, Mauro has so much knowledge, history, and stories to share. We never felt rushed and he was so accommodating throughout the day. Would absolutely recommend his tour to anyone visiting and take it again myself - the pena palace was such breath taking views one of my fav trips!

Tour of Sintra

So good we had to do it twice! Went once with friends and came back with family and enjoyed it both times. Definitely strongly recommend calling Mauro for your tour as you can hear the passion and knowledge in his voice. Sintra is second nature for Mauro and he will for sure make your trip the best.

A wonderful day

We had an absolutely amazing day with Mauro! The fact that my family and I were the only people on the tour was brilliant as we were able to learn so much.  Mauro is from Sintra, so he has an incredible knowledge of the area and it's history. The Pena palace was not too busy so we got to have a good look around it's beautiful terraces, the ticket Mauro got for us made it so easy! The drive through the stunning countryside to Pena, then the historic centre of Sintra was so enjoyable and we also went to Cabo Da Roca with stunning views of the Atlantic. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks for such an amazing day Mauro, we all felt like Sintra locals!!
