Pedro is the #1 Sintra Tour Guide - Pedro gave my partner and I an unforgettable full day tour of Sintra. He gave us wisdom and information that we would never get from a large tour or being by ourselves. We were able to see: downtown Sintra, Quinta da Relageira, and Pena Palace all in one day, with volumes of knowledge to take with us. Pedro is an amazing tuk tuk driver who knows exactly where to go in every spot, and knows everywhere to take a good picture. He connects the deep history of Sintra’s many inhabitants and leaders with timeless philosophy. He also has a great personality and we loved being with him all day. He is also such an experienced tour guide, he knows many other guides, and was able to give us a truly exclusive feeling experience.

Above and Beyond! - We cannot say enough about Pedro and the time we got to spend with him on this amazing tour. Let me also say that we are not generally tour people, but I did A LOT of research, learned that tours in Sintra were recommended at the very least for logistics, and was lucky enough to come across this full-day option which allowed us to explore a wide range of sites. What a pleasant surprise! From the start, Pedro was warm and welcoming and made our experience very fun and rewarding. Throughout the day, what we gained was much more than logistical ease and no Sintra stress -- we got the history, the real stories, the recommendations, a personal photographer, an authentic culinary experience (yummmm), and lots of laughs! I HIGHLY recommend Pedro! Everyone in my family (2 adults, 2 kids ages 13 & 10) had an unforgettable day. It was very very special. Thank you so much Pedro!

Pedro is an incredible and inexhaustible source of the history of Portugal and Sintra not to mention the little souvenir touches (traditional cake, ceramics), the best spots for photos.

Pedro is an excellent guide in both French and English.

Pedro, a great tuk tuk driver - Pedro is an excellent, friendly and helpful guide. He gave us very good advice on where to eat and what to do in Sintra. He also told us curiosities of the city and stopped to take pictures in some points of the route. Highly recommended.

Amazing Sintra Tour - Pedro was an AMAZING tour guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He drove my wife and I around in his tuk tuk for a full day giving us a thorough tour and history of the classic sites in and near Sintra. We would never have been able to see so many things on our own. He also went out of his way to take a ton of great photos of us to help us remember the special day!
