A very memorable four hours touring with Diogo in his cute vintage Citreon CV3. Diogo was very friendly and so excited to share his special part of Portugal. He made us a lovely picnic lunch of local and family products prepared by Diogo& Rita , in a small mountain village was the highlight of our journey .

We had an extraordinary trip with Diogo and Rita! The hosts were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, taking us to charming countryside towns/villages we would have never found on our own. The tour paired with home made Portuguese cuisine, Ginjiha, and wine made for an unforgettable experience and a highlight of our trip! We do not normally leave reviews, but were blown away by this experience. Do not miss out on this authentic and memorable tour of Portugal!

This tour was absolutely the best I have been on. Diogo, his wife and family were fantastic hosts. This is a great tour for those who want something more from a visit to Sintra. Diogo took us to places outside of the Sintra historic area. Diogo and Rita provided various foods from local sources to show us the variety from the region in beautiful rural location. . He took us to a beautiful old village, we saw a huge cathedral, a seaside resort, and the countryside. He provided pastry from the region as well. We were driven in a classic old French car; Citroën 2CV. He restored his grandfathers car and uses it for the tour. Riding in that car was fun and worth the tour itself. Finally, at the end we went to Rita's parent's house. Her father cooked various local pork dishes for us. They provided several courses including fruit, salad, several pork dishes and dessert. Along with wine, port, and other beverages. My wife and I had a great time and really enjoyed our time with Diogo and his family. Wonderful people. We learned a lot about Portuguese people and the culture. Highly recommended

I highly recommend doing this tour with Diogo/Rita. They were very happy to tell us all about the local area as we travelled around stunning scenery. The picnic was some of the best food we had on our holiday, a lot of it prepared at home by them or their family. The picnic spot was idyllic, at a wonderful stone table in a tiny, beautiful village. The communication before was excellent and it was a pleasure spending the day with them.

We had a wonderful day riding through the countryside with Diogo in the vintage car. In the morning, the weather was good enough to have the top down so we drove around listening to Fado and learning about the surronding area including Ericeira-- a lovely surf town. After stopping for a wine tasting, it began to rain. Diogo had a picnic planned so we had to make a quick change in plans which was so lovely. We had the opportunity to meet his wife and in-laws and had a fantastic lunch as well as more wine and port. Overall this was a lovely experience that I would highly recommend if you want to appreciate life outside of Sintra and the major centres.

Diogo and Rita were the perfect hosts. And their pup added more charm to the day. The car is a treat! Driving to the small towns and hearing about the food of the region and their personal experiences made it feel like you were on an outing with new friends. The snack picnic provided was so thoughtful with homemade delights. We would go again tomorrow. Thanks for an unforgettable day!

Firstly Diogo and Rita are great hosts! I loved their dog too. Their Citroen 2cv was absolutely fabulous! Realised it was my first time since the 1990's when my mother would take me to school! This was a great opportunity to sample the local delicious Portuguese food and wine. (With the gorgeous weather, beautiful scenery and warm hospitality) I loved our visit to the waterfall and the seaside. I particularly enjoyed the picnic with such wonderful hosts! Very chilled vibe. 👌
