A marvelous day-long excursion to Sintra and the coast! - My three friends and I had a wonderful time on a day-trip from Lisbon to visit Sintra and the coastal area from Sintra to Cascais. Our guide, Tiago, was knowledgeable, flexible, good-humored and patient; we would definitely ask for him again on any other excursions we might take in the area in the future. Besides touching on most of the famous sites in Sintra -- either from the outside or going in-- Tiago also took us to some "non-touristy" scenic spots in his jeep, off-road, which were a lot of fun as well as beautiful. We additionally had an excellent seafood lunch at a waterside restaurant. At the end, he dropped us off in the lovely coastal town of Cascais where we walked around and enjoyed a light dinner before returning to Lisbon -- all of us very happy with our day.

Loved our visit to Sintra - Wonderful day of exploring with Tiago, a local who was kind and down to earth. A little rain didn’t spoil our day. We stopped at the best spots for views and experiences.

Great experience touring with Tiago - The day tour with Tiago was absolutely lovely. He showed us both the main attractions in Sintra but also beautiful places off the beaten path. Tiago was extremely knowledgeable and also personable and friendly. Couldn’t have picked a better guide!

Thiago + Sintra = Incredible - We had an absolutely amazing time in Sintra and the places around. Thiago did an awesome job in helping us tailor our perfect day. We saw several of the castles, stopped for breathtaking photos, dined at a local seafood restaurant (perhaps our favorite place to eat on the entire trip) and enjoyed a tour along the shoreline in the back of a UMM (jeepish like vehicle). If you are thinking about doing a tour in Sintra, Thiago is the way to go!

Magical Day at Sintra - We had a magical day at Sintra with Tiego. We were late but he waited patiently and extended the finish time without us missing out on any activities. Anyone can take you to the palaces but the insights that he gave us and the viewpoints he took us to couldn't be done by many. We had the best experience going off road along the coast. He also recommended a restaurant that turned out to be the best meal we had during our fortnight in Portugal. Tiago is very knowledgeable and passionate. The tour is well worth every cent. Don't miss it.

Worth every penny. So fun - This was absolutely worth every penny. Andre was our guide- he is knowledgeable, personable, fun and energetic! We did the Peña Palace exterior, Quinta and went to a cool beach restaurant where we had the best meal I have had so far in Portugal! After that we went to miradouro da Praia do caneiro - with a view of cabo da Roca lighthouse. We also saw azenhas- Portugal’s Santorini. We could not easily have seen this on our own as Sintra is not driver friendly and is sooooooo steep. Spending the day with Andre was one of the highlights of our trip. He’s a great guy!

Perfect day touring Sintra to Cascais - We had an unforgettable tour from Sintra to Cascais with Tiago in his iconic blue jeep. From start to finish, Tiago was warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took us not only to all the places we wanted to visit but also to some hidden gems off the beaten path that truly made the experience special. One highlight was when he introduced us to Queijadas, a traditional Sintra pastry — such a thoughtful and authentic touch! He also recommended and secured a reservation for us at Nortada, a restaurant with stunning views and absolutely delicious food. Tiago went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We can’t recommend him highly enough — you won’t regret booking a tour with him!
