Experience the best of Sintra with Withlocals

"Peter introduced me to the history of Portugal and Lisbon before leading us through the streets to a number of different restaurants to have a taste of the many and various flavours of Lisbon making for a delicious, extensive and complete meal. Along the way he talked about the food, it’s history and preparation. An altogether most enjoyable and interesting experience. "

"Our group of six wanted a personalized tour of Sintra while we were in Lisbon, and we were so fortunate to have found Mauro! He was easy to deal with while setting up and the communication was great. We had an itinerary of our own for the day, but after chatting with him, he made suggestions that were SO much better than what we had planned, we were really thankful for his expertise. He grew up in Sintra, and so he knew ALL the ins and outs of getting around, parking, tickets, and also gave us great background a history about what we saw. We have to say tho that the highlight was the restaurant where we ate. It was one that Mauro knew well since his family had been going there for years. The food was fabulous, and the service was so great, we felt a little like family too!! Mauro even sat down before the meal and explained all the foods on the menu. Very authentic Portuguese food :). Mauro is a terrific young man, and made the day fantastic! We highly recommend him, and know that booking with him was a great experience. We spent 12 days in Portugal, and took at least 10 tours with different guides. We all agreed that he was one of the two BEST guides we had our entire trip! His English is excellent, he has a sense of humor, and made the whole day fun and memorable. BOOK WITH HIM!!"

"We had a fantastic time with Sonia! We ate good local food, she showed us some “secret” spots as well as telling us a bit about Portuguese history. I can definitely recommend booking a tour with Sonia."

"Traveling with João was a pleasure. He was knowledgeable and interesting and kept the conversation going. He gave us plenty of information, then let us explore on our own."

"Henrique was one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I have ever met . I took a History lesson of Lisbon . I learned more about Lisbon in three hours than I would have in three days on my own . "

"Henrique was an excellent guide! He was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Portugal as well as current events and wove the history together as we saw the various points of interest. He was also very personable and accommodating designing a tour based upon our request for the areas of Barrio Alto, Chiado, and Baxia. Additionally, he shared recommendations for places to eat based upon our preferences. "
