Diogo is the guide to get if you want a wonderful experience around Sintra. His English is on par with a native speaker. Furthermore Diogo can answer very detailed questions about the area and history as he grew up in Sintra and has a degree in archeology. My family will get a longer tour with him next time we go over from the United States.

Amazing tour! If you are looking for a private tour then Diogo is your guy. He is educated and has a fantastic sense of humour. We learned not only about Sintra’s history but of Portugal as well. He gave us tips about other cities and where to go/what to do. We were lucky to run into him! He drives this cute electric car with an open rooftop, which is another advantage for enjoying beautiful views. If we were on a bus we would be packed like sardines. Thanks Diogo for an awesome day!
