Overview

Sintra has a lot to see and although the town is small, its planning makes it complex to visit for those who don't know it.
As well as knowing all the nooks and crannies, we know the tricks to make the most of your time.
Even though our tour is very well-rounded, it's not exhausting, as we take care to balance the time spent traveling with the time spent visiting. We are storytellers, we like to be precise with the information shared but add humor, drama, and interaction with the group. To have this close interaction and adjust to the needs of the group, we prefer to work with small groups.
In addition to all of the above, we guarantee the visit to two of Sintra's iconic monuments: Quinta da Regaleira and Palacio da Pena.
As well as the visit to the westernmost point of the European continent and a passage along the Portuguese Riviera.
