John had a wonderful wide ranging knowledge of the history, geography, and culture pertaining to this area. We walked at a pace comfortable for our age and had a very memorable time. I could not recommend the walk more highly.

Joao is the best kind of tour guide. He's passionate about the local history for Sintra, the place he grew up, and very personable. Joao tailored the tour for us in a way that made it both comfortable and extremely interesting. Best of all, we were able to get away from the crowds and explore the exceptionally beautiful gardens of the Pena Palace and the Regelaria. If you're up for a hike, this is the way to go.

We didn't realize how much we would have missed without João. His English is better than any guide we'd met yet in Portugal and his knowledge of the area was phenomenal.

The guide Juan was fantastic and had comprehensive knowledge of not just Sinatra but Portuguese and world history. What a great experience to learn about so many things

João made our trip to Sintra truly magical. He was extremely knowledgeable (he is a local here) and told us many interesting facts about the different locations, from the fascinating history of this place right down to the different species of trees and wildlife here in Sintra. The route was really scenic, and João often led us to little hidden gems that we otherwise wouldn’t have noticed! We definitely felt that walking this route made us feel more connected to the place, and although it was sometimes quite steep in places (so do wear comfortable shoes), it was so worth it! At the end of the tour he also gave us fantastic food recommendations!

Wow! What a great day! João is a fantastic guide. He is a native to the area and knows the history and stories of Sintra. This “walk” was 6 miles in length round trip, with a 500 meter (1500 feet !) elevation gain. So be prepared. However, I can’t imagine doing it any other way. The park surrounding the Moorish Castle and Peña Palace is amazing. And João knows the best routes to see the coolest things.

Highly recommend this tour for a visit to Sintra. We visited Sintra on a day trip from Lisbon and Joao's knowledge of the area and it's history made the trip. Excellent tour and guide, I cannot recommend highly enough!

Yesterday we took an amazing tour with Joao of Greenwalks. First of all his English was very impressive. Going through every sights with him was so informative. He is a must when coming to Sintra. He is a native so there isn’t anything he doesn’t know about the area. We couldn’t never of done it without him! You need to book early he is becoming very popular.
