Fonte da Sabuga

(Pass by)

Famous for the health giving quality of its waters, the first references to the Fonte da Sabuga date back to medieval times. Here we will stop to have a sip of the "miraculous" water and hear some stories about Portugal.

Sintra National Palace

(Pass by)

Standing in the historical heart of Sintra, this is the best-preserved medieval royal residence in Portugal, with its early construction dating back to the medieval ages. We will stop at a viewpoint where you'll be able to see the Palace.

Castelo dos Mouros

(Pass by)

Built by the Moors in the 8th and 9th centuries, it was an important strategic point during the Reconquista, and was taken by Christian forces after the fall of Lisbon in 1147. Considered to the the "crown" of Sintra. We will stop at certain viewpoints where you'll be able to see the Castle.

Palácio e Parque Biester

(Pass by)

The Chalet Biester was built in the central and northern European architectural style, which was very much in vogue in late 19th century Portugal, as the anachronic paradigm of a summer residence, in Sintra. It is an eclectic project. Its designers took full advantage not only of its architecture and interior decoration which oscillate between belated romanticism and art-nouveau but also its surrounding landscape, as it is located in a garden and leafy botanical park designed by the famous landscape gardener Nogré. We will stop at a viewpoint where you'll be able to see the Bieter Chalet.

National Palace of Pena

(Pass by)

Sintra boasts one of its most renowned and iconic attractions, a must-see not only in the town but also in all of Portugal. Perched atop the Sintra Hills, this place holds a special spot in Portugal's royal history, symbolizing the zenith of monarchy in the country. Nestled within an expansive 85-hectare (210-acre) natural park, this magnificent and lush palace has been recognized and celebrated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. We will stop at a viewpoint where you'll be able to see the Pena Palace. Going inside the park or palace is optional. The visit does not include the guide inside the palace. The guide will take you to the entrance and wait for you while you visit the Palace.

Sintra Mountains

Once we've immersed ourselves in the rich history and awe-inspiring monuments, it's time to venture further into the embrace of the mountain. Prepare to be captivated by its unparalleled beauty as we traverse its entire range, punctuated by a few carefully chosen stops to relish the panoramic vistas.

Cabo da Roca

Continuing our journey westward across the mountain range, we arrive at Cabo da Roca, that was once called "the end of the world" is the westernmost point of continental Europe. Prepare to be awestruck by the dramatic cliffs that tower over the untamed Atlantic Ocean. This remarkable location will beckon us to pause and take some time to soak in the breathtaking views that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Azenhas do Mar

After we will visit my favorite local beach in Sintra. Here, you'll be greeted by a pristine stretch of nature and the untamed Atlantic Ocean in all its rugged beauty. But our adventure doesn't end there. We have one final surprise in store—a visit to the picturesque village of Azenhas do Mar. Perched on a cliff, this typical Portuguese village gives us "vibes" of Santorini in Greece. As we make our way back to Sintra, we'll take a different route, granting us a sweeping panorama of the entire Sintra Mountain range that we've just traversed. When it's time to bid farewell, you have the option to be dropped off either in the historic center of Sintra or at the train station.

We had the best time with Mr. Local! He is so nice and has really chill vibes. He spoke English, Spanish and Portuguese so we didn’t have any trouble communicating with him or understanding him. He took us to amazing places and we even learned about local history! We want to come back and bring more family, but we’ll only tour with Mr. Local. 😃

Perfect car and a perfect driver. He helped us get the most of our visit to Sintra and we were very impressed with the knowledge he had about the area and the history of the region.

Diogo was great. Did a one hour tour in his electric convertible. Great for seeing everything plus you do not gear the noisy Tuk tuk engine like the others. Go electric for tours. His knowledge of the area and history added so much to the tour. Would highly recommend him for any group of 3 or less. Recommended 2 restaurants. Could only picked one and it was tasty and not overpriced like in the tourist area of Sintra.

We had a fantastic tour with Diogo! He was genuine and his enthusiasm for Sinatra was evident. He went out of his way to make sure we had a full and informative tour. He shared both his love of Sintra and it's fascinating history. He was willing to customize the day to meet our needs/desires. I would highly recommend!
