But Morish Castle was a very nice surprise, especialy with all the historical background provided by the guide Patrícia, this was definetly our favorite ! Dramatic and Scenic views! We higly recommend to take a guide like Patrícia with you!

Patrícia was the best guide so far, we had a great experience in Sintra such a beautiful Place. I recommend this experience to everyone!

Amazing!!

Published on Dec, 2024

From the moment we booked the tour, Patrícia got in touch and took all of the stress out. We agreed a pickup point and all we had to do was turn up and walk. Patrícia organised everything else and he knowledge was second to none. Would strongly recommend this tour to anyone. And, the restaurant she recommended was amazing as well!

Amazing guide, totally worth the experience:)

Published on Dec, 2024

Patricia is a wonderful tour guide. She met us at train station and gave us tour of Sintra on our way to Moore Castle. We parked short distance from castle and did short but beautiful hike. The castle is tucked away in Forrest. The views are amazing. Then we went to sintra castle. There is bus service that can take you back and forth from main entrance. Patricia provided history and tour of castle! Overall, I highly recommend it. Y

Great tour with even greater guide!

Jorge was brilliant in his knowledge of Peña palace and Moorish castle and more! He was incredibly kind to my sister with a cane and moved at the pace we needed to, coming up with new facts and discoveries along the way. He even spoke to us about other Sintra sites, his passion for Sintra history and how they all relate. The sites were quite spectacular but wouldn’t have been the same without our guide. He also gave a terrific restaurant recommendation.
