We got off the train from Lisbon and were fortunate to meet Lara Rodrigues Tuktuk driver/tour guide. She was personable, informative and we felt very safe in her abilities to handle the narrow roads and traffic. If you're lucky to get Lara as your driver, you will enjoy your day in Sintra.
100% the best tour experience I have ever had. Both Mariana and Mafalda did a great job by showing us around. They recommended some of the best places to visit. We had a real laugh with them. Both are very welcoming and lovely. Special thanks to Mariana for the guided tour on the coast, the pictures and the interesting/funny discussions. I 100% recommend it.
We had the pleasure to tour Sintra with Mariana and Mafalda. They both did a really great job. We had a great time and we couldn't ask for more. Captivating stories about each place we passed by and laughter were absolutely there to enrich our travel with lasting memories. We wish them the best of luck in their life and much more fun and stories to tell. We recommend them 100%. Special thanks to Mariana who was with us practically the whole day as we did a tour from Pena Palace to Cascais (Totally worth it) your rock girl. Keep it up ! Sharing some photos with these two beautiful souls. Until we meet again ☺️ Your friends from TUNISIA 🇹🇳
Our day with Miguel from Feel Portuguese Tours was one of the highlights of our time in Portugal. We met him just after touring the remarkable Pena Palace, and from there, he took us on an exhilarating open-air tuk-tuk tour through Sintra and the surrounding area. Navigating the region’s narrow, winding streets in a tuk-tuk gave us access to places we would have missed by car—and made the experience even more memorable. Miguel was incredibly knowledgeable, offering an immersive and engaging introduction to Sintra’s rich history, architecture, and culture. He clearly loves his home region and took great pride in sharing local stories and facts—insights that only someone who lives there could offer. His English was excellent, and he had a global perspective that enriched our conversations throughout the day. In addition to touring Sintra’s iconic sights, Miguel brought us to nearby beaches and scenic spots, including Cabo da Roca—the dramatic cliffs that mark the westernmost point of continental Europe. Throughout, he was always thoughtful and attentive, ensuring our safety and comfort while keeping the experience fun and informative. At the end of the day, Miguel didn’t simply drop us off—he made sure we were well taken care of. He personally walked us to a great local restaurant in Sintra and even helped us select dishes that suited our tastes, ensuring we ended the day with a perfect meal. This wasn’t just a tour; it was a window into the life, culture, and spirit of the Sintra region. We’re deeply grateful to Miguel for his warmth, knowledge, and care. It was an unforgettable day, and we highly recommend both him and Feel Portuguese Tours to anyone visiting the area. Obrigado, Miguel!
Awesome experience- if you have the opportunity to score a tour with this company you will not regret it. Mariana was our tour guide and she did a perfect job. 100% customer oriented and exceeded expectations for just a typical tour guide. Taking us to local spots for views, food and hitting every monument in a single afternoon without ever feeling rushed. A well earned 5/5 review
