This tour was absolutely amazing! I feel so lucky that my mom had a friend who had gone on this tour while in Sintra a few weeks prior and recommended it to us.
First of all, I highly recommend that you ask for Tina as your tour guide. She is so knowledgeable, energetic and kind. You can feel her passion and excitement around Sintra for the entirety of the tour. She also knows the best places to stop and take photos -- Ones that seemed to in the middle of no where but had the best views, I was shocked she was able to find them in the first place!
This tour company is also really cool because it drives you around in one of those top-down electric Jeeps. It was a great way to travel a far distance (Sintra is large and hilly!) but to be able to see every single sight.
Tina also was able to recommend which spots she thought we should go into to check out and which were better from the outside, so be sure to ask her about that too! When you choose to go into a place, she does not take that time off of your tour with her. Instead, she will leave for a while (i.e. an hour while you tour a space) and then come back to get you and continue your tour together.
I recommend at least the two hour tour. Sintra is much bigger than one would think and so many beautiful sights -- You will not want to miss it! read more
