We booked a tuk-tuk on a very rainy day. Pedro took us up and did not only drive us but gave us so much info, history and background. 10/10 for Pedro!

I still can't believe we stayed on the TukTuk as long as we did. Our TukTuk was we guess very old as it barely made it up the hills. Our guide Palo could not get it out of 1st gear and multiple times he did a wheelie trying to shift gears. This jerking movement was horrifying and very unpleasant. We stalled a few times and we thought we would be stuck. The TukTuk was very loud so it was hard to hear our guide talking. His English was poor so it made it more difficult . Upon being picked up we had asked our guide Palo if he could condense our tour into 2.5 -3hrs. So he understood that we probably won't be going into the castles. He couldn't understand why but yet he just kept driving around in circles. We passed the same area 3x which wasted a lot of time since we were in a slow TukTuk. I would NOT recommend this tour.

We had a great time on tuk tuk . Both the driver and the lady who welcomed us were kind and professional. The guy stopped the tuk tuk in order to give us time to take photos and gave us info about palaces and places. As it was raining he gave us blankets to cover us and the service was punctual as we need to go from palace da pena to train station. I would strongly recommend this experience to enjoy Sintra fully.

We had a fabulous day with Rita in Sintra! She took us all over Sintra, made sure we had wonderful views for pics too! Rita was super fun and so knowledgeable on all things Sintra! Highly recommend this trip to everyone. From the reservations to the pick up and communications with us before the trip- it was all excellent. I’ve already passed the info on to friends visiting in a few weeks. Thank you for a perfect day! :)

I cannot give enough accolades to the trip advisor trip and our magnificent tour guide,Claudio. The day of our tour it was to rain, this tour group called to reschedule the time to accommodate the bad weather. There was constant communication between the Tuk Tuk drivers and me. Be sure to have what’s app for communications. Once our tour began with Claudio, he gave us so much history of Sintra and knew answers to each of our many, many questions He was extremely safe and courteous to us and other vehicles We had many stops to view the castles from gorgeous views. Thank you guys and for tourists, DONT MISS THIS GEM OF AN ADVENTURE. Claudio also recommended other fun adventures in the area.

Our guide Nuno was the highlight of our tour he was knowledgeable of the history, the area and always pointed us in the right direction when it came to visiting the castles. I would recomend this tour to anyone visiting the area as you get to see most everything in a short period of time and can avoid most of the crowds.

We booked this tour last minute two days ahead of time after I purchased entry tickets to three castles in Sintra (Pena, Moore, and Monserrate) but wanted a nonbus option for transportation (they get a little too packed for my comfort). Prior to the day, there was some communication difficulty (phone issues on both sides) but we were able to sort out a time and location to meet. I shared I had tickets to three castles and they really planned the tour around that which everyone in my group really, really appreciated. Our tour guide was Rogerio and he was really amazing and patient with us. He was a great, safe tuk tuk driver as he showed us gems around Sintra not many tourists visit (I've visited a couple of times and many were new to me! Two favorite gems are in the photos). He also shared history of the area and of course the castles. He dropped us off at Pena to explore Pena and the Moorish castle on our own time and to let him know when we were ready to head out. Overall, the tour was really wonderful and showed us a different side to Sintra than if we just did the castles ourselves. It was one of my friends' favorite activities we did in Portugal! Highly recommend this experience and friendly reminder to tip your drivers!! :)

Sintra is an amazing city, but it gets much better when you have a very professional guide who is well educated and knows well the history of all sites. Thank you Jose Pedro for the great experience you made for our family. Highly recommended tour and company to work with. Very professionals

We had Catia as our guide who was AWESOME! She was really funny and told great stories about Sintra and herself. She was very accommodating for all the things we wanted to see. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thanks Catia!!

mmvrente

Both the guides and the people at the reception desk are the absolute kindest! They shared so much useful information and did their best to cater to our needs. Our guide Rogerio knew so many interesting stories and fun facts! 👌 Loved the tuk tuk! Thank you Rogerio, Filipe, Rita & Patricia to make our visit to Sintra so memorable! 🤍
