My wife and I took a private tour of Sintra with Kleiber. He was FANTASTIC. He picked us up at our hotel, was a great driver, very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Kleiber also helped us navigate the crowds in Sintra. He took us to less traveled spots and had a skip tourist spots that weren’t worth the lines. Besides learning a ton from Kleiber he was a pleasure to be with. We enjoyed our day with him immensely and would highly recommend his services to anyone. We plan to use him again on our next trip to Portugal!
