Im glad I decided to book a one day trip to Sintra with Sofia . Our tour guide João was great and very passionate about sharing the history . I 100 % recommend Sofía’s Portugal guided tours
We contacted the agency looking for a last minute private tour to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. The response that we got through WhatsApp was really quick and practical. In a matter of minutes they checked the availability and organized the tour for us even though we contacted them late in the day. The next morning they came to pick-is up and Joao was our tour guide. He was young, knowledgeable and very friendly. He gave us already quite an introduction on our way to Sintra to set the mood. At every place we visited he gave us historical information in a very engaging way, and he even went the extra mile and made some stops along the way to show us some nice local attractions. I can only recommend this agency and Joao.
We loved the tours. With young kids, private tour was the only way to visit different monuments in Sintra in one day to avoid all the walking. Our tour guide was knowledgeable in the history and caring. He came prepared with baby car seat even we didn’t request it. We added another half day of private tour at last minute and they were able to accommodate our need. We highly recommended if visiting Lisbon.
First things first, Sophia, tour guide, was STELLAR!! She is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. She made sure everyone was included and by the end of the tour we all knew each other's names and were ready to plan other trips together. The places we saw were awe inspiring and the stories Sophia shared with us made history interesting just like a Soap Opera. There was murder, affairs, love stories, and questions still left to be answered........ Amazing tour overall just be prepared for the climbs, you are in Lisbon expect nothing else. It was a great exercise day.
Sofia is the penultimate guide! She is so friendly, charismatic, and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure spending the day with her as she shared the history of magical places like Pena Palace and the Regaliera with us. Extra bonus she was very patient and funny with my 7-year-old daughter who had many questions and things to say. Thank you Sofia for a memorable sightseeing experience!!
