Pedro was absolutely the best person to provide a tour of Sintra and Cascais since he grew up in the region. He has seen the changes and shared a very up to date understanding of the National Park's latest residents of horses, while also providing detailed explanations of cork harvesting, the Capuchos monastery and the palace in Monserat. There were many other sites he shared with us once he understood our interests. We saw dinosaur footprints, iconic views of the Atlantic coast, Capuchos living quarters and more. Time spent with Pedro will help anyone understand the history and culture of this part of Portugal. The day was worth every euro. Definitely would recommend Pedro and his tour to others.

Daniel was an amazing tour guide he gave us so much information on the history of Sintra as well as local information. Was so glad that we chose to go with him and not the tour buses as it saved us so much time beating queues and not being stuck out in the cold and rain. I will definitely call him again when I go back!
