This was a truly amazing trip during which we got a full Portuguese experience in couple of hours! Awesome off-road jeep ride, hiking, sightseeing, wine and snacks on the beach, meeting people - this trip definitely exceeded our expectations. Martim was a great guide, very laid back and fun to spend time with. He kept on surprising us with new things on the agenda. You should definitely go!

Paulo was amazing! He is a Sintra local with deep historical knowledge and you can feel his passion when he speaks. We were blessed to have sun for most of the day despite the forecast being rainy which made the day all the more special. Having Juan along for the ride added to the fun!

Excellent adventure with our amazing guide Ruben! The drive west included a bit of off-roaming fun, loved the photo op stop at the westernmost European point overlook, and the hike down to Ursa beach for a picnic was unforgettable. Great memories made - thank you!

Paulo was an amazing tour guide! We are all still talking about our Best Day Ever in Sintra! Paulo showed us the most beautiful spots and made the whole experience enjoyable. Can’t thank you or him enough!

It was. Great day out on a 4x4. Our guide Giu was superb and ensured that we had the most fun day. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
