Outstanding tour. A must do. We all loved it. - I can’t recommend this tour enough. This tour company is professional and organized while also being caring and friendly. Took the Grand Tour of Sintra in March 2026. We are a family of 4. (Our kids are older, not sure what the minimum age is but I’m sure if you contact them they could tell you). Their office is a 2 minute walk from the train station. We were greeted warmly by the wonderful owner, then shown to our Tuk Tuk. We felt safe and at ease the entire time. We had one of the larger ones that was white and electric-powered. (Their 2 person Tuk Tuks are red). It was a bit chilly that day and they provided soft blankets. Our tour guide Leonardo was fantastic! So warm, friendly, and full of knowledge. The kind of person you want to spend 4 hours with. Great with the kids too. He took us beyond the town centre out to beautiful beaches and through quaint little towns full of locals, lemon trees, and beautiful buildings. The outskirts of Sintra are as charming as Sintra itself, and we would have totally missed this aspect of the area if we hadn’t booked this tour. Lots of places to hop out for a photo/bathroom breaks at remarkably clean & well maintained public bathrooms, and places to buy snacks. At our request, Leonardo ended our tour at the gates of Pena Palace as we had purchased tickets separately online for 4pm to tour the castle. We then booked a ride back to the train station with them when we finished touring for a reasonable cost. If you don’t book this tour, you miss out on the gorgeous nearby surrounding area and beaches near town, great information from the guide, and tips on what to do after the tour ends. Four hours was not too long, and our kids enjoyed the experience as much as we did. Tip: arrive to Sintra a little early and visit the picturesque coffee shop directly across the street from the Discover Sintra office. Great cakes/coffee to eat in or take away, with a casual friendly vibe and child friendly. The owner recommended the coffee shop to us, and we were so glad he did. Discover Sintra Tours took all the stress/mystery out of touring this magic place. My husband and I were patting ourselves on the back for purchasing this tour. Highly recommend!

Check what sort of Tuk Tuk is lined up for you first...... - This is not for the feint hearted! Maybe we were unlucky but instead of comfortable, large wheel electric Tuk Tuks we had ancient single cylinder, tiny wheel, noisy, bouncy ones for a 3 hour plus run over steep and bumpy mountain roads, scarily mixing it with main road traffic elsewhere. One of the Tuk Tuks was so knackered it could barely make the hills in anything other than 1st gear. The tour does not include admission to any places so you only see them from the outside. On the plus side, the guides were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and gave us much information. The scenery was beautiful. We were lucky with the weather but if it had been bad the Tuk Tuks offer little protection.
