The guides passion and knowledge of the region was outstanding - only possible as he is a local to the region. - I've done many day tours all over the world and I can whole heartedly say that this is the best tour I have done. The guides passion and knowledge of the region was outstanding - only possible as he is a local to the region. Stories were bought to life with a great sense of humour and I learnt a huge amount about local and European history in general. The vehicle is also great with a roof that opens up and gives you the best views. I had a rental car but I would not have been able to navigate the streets and enjoy if I did it myself so very glad I took this tour instead. If you are only coming to Sintra once in your life don't miss out - book this tour with Mr Local.

Favorite day on our vacation! - A must do in Sintra. Manel was super cool, informative and knowledgeable. We felt like we were being given a real local tour by a dear friend. He customized it based on what we wanted to do and the little car was so fun. It was a beautiful ride, excellent conversation and he took us to places we would have never found on our own. Manel is such a great guy. We made a friend today and fell in love with Sintra. We highly recommend doing this tour. It was perfect!

Beautiful Sintra with local guides! - This tour was a highlight of our trip to Portugal. Our guides, Diogo and Catia were local people who share their passion and love for the history and beauty of Sintra. They drove two great cars with our family of five and they were very flexible in creating a tour that suited our wants and needs! We stopped at 5 or more of the most beautiful places! Historical water fountain, historical homes, castles, southern point on the ocean, coastline and historical old village centre. They let us stay at the castle to walk about for an hour and they even stopped at a local pharmacy for our daughter on our way back to the historical village. They are very knowledgeable about the history of the area, with a picture book to show you historical photos of the past and they also suggested the best local restaurant for the evening. I would suggest this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy a private tour with great people!! Thank you Diogo and Catia for taking us to so many beautiful places in Sintra!

Knowledgeable Guide, - Loved this tour- even although the fog made us hard to see - Manuel, the Guide was highly entertaining and enlightening. He is a local Sintra guy- 5 generations. There is nothing he doesn’t know. He really made the best of our tour. I’d book again!

Best views of Sintra within less than 2 hours - Diogo was the perfect guide for our family with 2 kids. As a Sintra native, he could tell us plenty of stories about the history of Sintra. During our ride with the Mehari, he made some stops with the best views for taking pictures . He also advised us some other hidden gems in Portugal. Thanks Diogo for this fantastic experience!
