A fantastic day - Excellent professional. We know the village of Sintra, the sea and the rock. Wonderful places. We had a very good lunch in a typical restaurant, with food from the region. A fantastic day.

Rita knew exactly how to make the experience unforgettable! - I had the absolute pleasure of exploring with Rita as my tour guide, and I can’t recommend her enough! Her energy is contagious, and from the moment we started, she knew exactly how to make the experience unforgettable. Rita has a true gift for showing the best spots — not just the popular sights, but also those hidden gems that make you feel like a local. It felt less like a tour and more like discovering a new place with a good friend. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about what she does, Rita is the one!

Amazing - I did a tour of the Pena Palace in Sintra with the guide Rita, and it was an amazing experience. I don’t speak Portuguese, and she was incredibly kind and professional in explaining everything in Inglish. She clearly knew the history of the place and shared it with real passion. Thank you, Rita, for your great attitude and dedication. Highly recommended

Unforgettable Sintra Tour with Rita – History, Humor, and the Best Pork Sandwich in Portugal! - We had the absolute pleasure of touring Sintra with Rita, and let me tell you—this wasn’t just a tour, it was an experience. From the moment we met her, Rita’s energy and passion for Portugal were infectious. Her English is flawless (seriously, better than some of us!), and her deep knowledge of the region’s history brought every castle and cobblestone to life. But what really sets Rita apart is her personality—warm, witty, and downright hilarious. She had us laughing while teaching us centuries of history. And if you’re lucky enough to work with her, do yourself a favor: ask her to take you for the best pork sandwich in Portugal. Trust me, it’s life-changing. I still have dreams about it. If you want a guide who’s part historian, part stand-up comic, and 100% passionate about Portugal, Rita is your person. Don’t think twice—book her and thank us later!

An amazing day in Sintra with an exceptional guide - I toured Sintra with Rita and it was certainly one of the best moments of my trip to Portugal. His knowledge of the history, culture and secrets of the city is impressive, and he conveys it with such passion and warmth that you can tell he loves what he does. Being Argentine and visiting Sintra for the first time, I felt very well received at all times. Rita not only took me to the best known places like the Palacio da Pena and Quinta da Regaleira, but also showed me those hidden places that I would not find on my own. It has a unique way of telling the stories, which makes the tour even more interesting. In addition, he kept an eye on every detail, making sure he was comfortable and enjoying himself to the fullest. If you are thinking of visiting Sintra, don’t hesitate to do so with Rita. It will make you live a unique experience. Thank you, Rita, for this special day.
