This was the best possible way to spend a day in Sintra! Raphael was the best tour guide, who picked us up promptly and took us on a days long adventure! He was the reason the tour was amazing as he was so knowledgeable about Sintra and the whole area. He shared historical facts for the history lovers, the best photo spots for the photographers and food recs for the foodies in the group. He made sure we were able to spend time doing everything we wanted. Overall, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a day in Sintra. I originally found this trip through TikTok, and would absolutely recommend to everyone coming to Portugal!
Ralphael was AMAZING!!!! He gave us a memory we will remember our whole lives. His history knowledge is beyond compare! Everyone should be so lucky to have them as their guide :) Obrigada Raphael
Raphael was amazing and was a great tour guide. He was able to speak perfect English and knew tons of history about all the spots we went to and even gave other recommendations for our time in Portugal. I highly recommend taking this trip while you are in Portugal and I would recommend trying to get Raphael as your tour guide.
Raphael was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable and showed us so many hidden gems in Sintra!
Raphael was the best- so knowledgeable and taught us a lot. This was such an awesome day!! I would recommend booking and requesting him!
If you’re considering this tour, book it, you won’t regret it! Spending the day with Luis was one of the highlights of our 14 days in Portugal. From the moment we met him, he made us feel comfortable and welcome. Luis took us to breathtaking viewpoints, hidden gems we never would have found on our own, and some of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen. The off-road adventure added so much fun and gave us access to places most visitors never get to experience. Luis is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about sharing the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area. He brought each stop to life with stories and local insights, and he was always happy to answer our questions. He always made sure we got in and out of the jeep safely and offered to take photos of us at each spot! What truly sets Luis apart is that his care for his guests doesn’t end when the tour does. Even afterward, he’s continued to answer our questions and send us thoughtful recommendations for places to eat and visit, helping us make the most of the rest of our time in Portugal. Thank you, Luis, for an unforgettable experience. Your passion, kindness, and genuine care made this a day we’ll always remember. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable, and truly exceptional tour. P.S Thanks to Luis my husband wants a jeep! From your Canadian friends, Stephanie and Chris 🇨🇦🇵🇹
Beautiful views and an amazing experience!
We really enjoyed this tour! The Jeep was comfortable, and our guide, Tomas, was very organized, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He shared many interesting stories and had a great sense of humor. The beaches were beautiful, the palace was impressive, and the lunch stop was excellent. It was a well-planned and enjoyable experience from beginning to end.
Rafael the tour guide was really cool. Explained a lot of stuff and we had a lot of fun.
Everything was great, Rafael is the best guide, i woud recommend it to everyone visiting Portugal.
