- I’m so happy I booked this trip! Everything about it was 5 stars. Tiago was great with communication ahead of time. Tomas was our tour guide and was so friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about his country. We saw so much and learned so much! I bought tickets to the Pena Palace grounds (which was enough) and the to the place with the Initiation Well which was really cool. We had lunch at a fantastic restaurant with fresh seafood and the BEST wine! After lunch, when Tomas found out I loved the wine, he made a special trip to the winery for me to buy some. I highly recommend doing this trip if you are traveling to Sintra for the day!!

Tiago aka the GOAT - 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone looking to explore Sintra like a true local. Tiago went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time and always made sure the vibes were HIGH. He had a speaker that we could play our own music on and even installed a shade above the back of the jeep to make sure we stayed cool in the sun. He also stopped at his home to get us a cooler so that our drinks stayed ICE cold throughout the journey as well. He took us to a lot of cool spots that were off the beaten path and gave us an experience that our group now talks about as one of our favorite days of our entire European vacation. Obrigado Tiago!!

Manuel was Great! - Went out with Manuel on his UMM 4x4 and had a blast. He was quite knowledgeable on all things Sintra. The trip to the edge of the cliffs was incredibly beautiful. Do it!

Jeep tour with personal service! - Tiago and Andre gave us the best experience ever! This was the last day of a 15 day European vacation, and it was one of our favorites! First of all, they communicated with us prior to help us set up the details, which included plans for meeting them and which tickets we wanted to buy for seeing the castles. When we met them, they were friendly and full of information about each of the stops we made. They gave us a sweet treat and truely thought of all of the little details to make our day special. They even took us to some of their own favorite spots which were the highlights of the day! The fact that they were driving jeeps, allowed them to drive into a few spots other vehicles wouldn’t have been able to.

One of our favorite days in Portugal with Andre! - We had such a great experience on this private tour with André. From the moment we met him, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, easygoing, and made the day feel relaxed and personal -not touristy at all, which we really appreciated. We started the day exploring Sintra and visited both Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira which both were absolutely stunning. For lunch, André took us to a beautiful spot overlooking the ocean on the coast of sintra(his hometown) where we enjoyed fresh fish (his recommendation, and it did not disappoint!). After that, we visited dramatic cliffs, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, and some hidden gems that we would’ve never found on our own. We ended the day in Cascais, which is such a charming and beautiful town. If you’re looking for a fun, insightful, and uique experience, we highly recommend this tour. André managed to show us so much without ever making the day feel rushed or overwhelming. Thank you,André and like always no stress! 🤟🏼 – Capucine & Ramiro

Amazing!! - We had a great time on this private Jeep tour of Sintra and Cascais. Antonio was an exceptional guide and offered information and stories that only a local can provide. Even before the adventure, Tiago was in contact with us to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. It was truly a highlight of our trip to Portugal! The Jeep was a great way to get around and allowed us to see hidden gems of the region. If you want a fun, adventurous, authentic tour, sign up now. You won't be disappointed. Would highly recommend! Thanks, Antonio and Tiago!

Fantastic Sintra and Cascais day trip - We had a wonderful day with Tiago exploring Sintra and Cascais, enjoying delicious local treats and a fantastic lunch at a traditional restaurant. Tiago was informative, flexible, and a pleasure to spend time with. His passion for the local area, nature, and his jeep really shone through, making the experience even more enjoyable. We’d definitely recommend him for a customised day tour—he takes the stress out of planning and makes the day both seamless and memorable.
