"Rita was a wonderful tour guide! We had such an amazing experience seeing the sights in Sintra. Rita was incredibly knowledgeable, and helpful picking spots that were accessible and flexible with our small children. And I know it has been said before, but she is great with kids! Especially helping in engaging my 5 year old son. We also went to one of the best restaurants of our entire trip with the most incredible view! I will have dreams about that meal for years to come. I highly recommend booking a tour with Rita!"

"Bruno was exceptionally responsive and helpful from our first communication. He picked us up from our hotel in his very nice car and gave us a wonderful tour of the surrounding towns. He really knew his history and went out of his way to give us a good experience. I highly recommend Bruno! "

"Rita was absolutely amazing. Super friendly and, wow, what a fountain of historic knowledge. I can’t imagine a better tour guide! Thanks, Rita!"

"Joao was without question the perfect guide for us, and blessed us with the most magical day trip out of Lisbon. He picked us up at our hotel right on time and after ensuring we were completely comfortable for the trip, began to enlighten us with the history of Lisbon and Portugal in a very conversational and entertaining way. We ask a lot of questions and “squirreled” him time after time, and he obliged us with informative answers then got back on track. The visit to Fátima was a very special experience, and Joao walked us through the different structures explaining the history and lore of each. We got the opportunity to attend a mass, and Joao did not make feel rushed at all. After Fátima we continued on to Nazere, which is nearby his family’s town. His knowledge and recounts of experiences at Nazere from his childhood were great. In addition to an amazing lunch at a friend’s restaurant overlooking the beach, he showed us some hidden gems including the surf museum. Continuing on to Obidos, we strolled through the walled city and learned about the history as well as fun stories of queens and other historical figures with roots there. At the end of the day we felt like we had taken a 200-level course on the country and seen some of the most spectacular sights of Portugal. We highly recommend this tour, and specifically choosing Joao to be your guide!"

"Bruno war ein sehr freundlicher Mensch mit tiefem Hintergrundwissen über Portugal und insbesondere Sintra. Es haben sich durchweg interessante Konversationen ergeben und unseren Tag lehrreich und kurzweilig gestaltet. Zudem war ein ein sehr sicherer und umsichtiger Autofahrer, der uns stets gut ans Ziel brachte. "

"This was my second trip to Sintra but our first with Luis. He was on time, the car was spotless AND he even extended our trip by close to an hour to let us enjoy our last stop. I love seeing the world this way - with a knowledgeable guide but one who is not pushy! I highly recommend booking a tour with him - unforgettable!"

"We were so lucky to have found Miguel on a last minute booking for a day trip to Sintra! He was the perfect guide for us with his knowledge of Portuguese history and current events as well as his background in conservation. His car (BMW) was clean, comfortable and well-equipped (with even a refrigerator in the trunk!) He had water bottles for us and kindly surprised us with some delicious local Sintra pastries. Our plan was for Miguel to accompany us during our visit to Regaleira Palace, but due to our need to be dropped as close to the palace as possible and the heavy traffic that day, unfortunately that didn't work out for us and we missed out on his detailed knowledge about the history of the palace which would've made for a much better visit. An unexpected treat was the Fado history and sampling he gave us on the drive back to Lisbon! Absolutely would not hesitate to book Miguel again - perhaps for day hiking or an evening of Fado. The only suggestion we have would be to make sure to discuss lunch plans on an daylong tour. The restaurant Miguel chose for us was a lovely beachside place, but given our schedule (early dinner reservations) we might've preferred something different. "

"Highly recommend booking Rita. Very knowledgeable and a very nice person. "

"I booked Rodrigo to be our tour. We were a group of 5 which included my 75 year old mother. I made Rodrigo aware from our initial communications that she may be somewhat limited with walking up hills. He assured me that he could stay with her while we walked around and to not worry- which he did. He also spoke to my mother in Spanish (he native language) while speaking to my husband in English as that is the only language my husband knows. Rodrigo was such a joy to spend the day with. He was very open to the things we were interested in doing and also recommended other stops that were never on our radar. I had never used Withlocals and am so happy to have found Rodrigo as he exceeded my expectations."

"We had an amazing day exploring the Sintra area in two tuk-tuks. It was the perfect way to get a great feel for the region. Our guides Rodrigo and his sister-in-law Rita were not only very knowledgeable and expert in sharing facts about the history and nature, but they were also very attentive and great company. This made the ride extra special. Although Sintra is home to stunning sites like the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira, we chose not to actually visit any locations inside today. This allowed us to fully enjoy the beautiful route through the forests and along the coast at our own pace. The guides were very flexible and took us all the way to the Cascais coastline and Cabo da Roca. This was ideal for us, as the children are going on a hike near Cabo da Roca later this week; now we’ve had a wonderful preview of the terrain and the impressive cliffs. We are saving the rest of the sights for later this week, but this tuk-tuk tour has certainly set the bar high. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see a lot in a relaxed way! "
