Top - Sergio was extremely receptive, he didn't force the rent, on the contrary, he was very honest and gave us tips. They give you all the addresses of interest for the GPS. There are team members available to answer questions and monitor travel. It was a wonderful day in which, in addition to seeing the monuments, we also had the opportunity to take the stroller to see the beach and have lunch.

Great day spent in Sintra! - We spent an amazing day in Sintra driving around with the Twizy. Sergio was very helpful and took his time to show us the itinerary and to give us great tips! We had lunch next to the beach in a restaurant that Sergio recommended and it was delicious! We definitely would recommend you to plan your visit to Sintra with Sergio and his family. Thanks a lot for this great day to all his team! ☺️

A whole experience! - A whole experience, my mom drove the electric car. We visited Monseratte and a couple of places at the beach in 6 hours. We loved it! The cars are small enough to park among the motorcycles (we parked next to one). Because of the size the space in the backseat is limited. It's also not possible to bring much luggage, at best a backpack. It's extremely safe to drive at the roads in Sintra 👌 But overall it's a fun experience you do best in Lisbon.

Amazing day in the small cars - We took our 2 kids (7 & 9) and we all loved it! Very easy to navigate, park and drive. We bought our tickets ahead of time which saved so much time and allowed us to visit the monuments at our own pace. Would highly recommend and can’t wait for our next trip!

Best way to see Sintra - We had the best time, what a great way to see the sights! We planned nothing and Sergio & Victoria planned everything including the route, lunch suggestions, and even a spare charger for your phone. Terrific people, wonderful ride! Jaime & Owen

Awesome time in a fun little car! - Brett and I arrived in Sintra with elementary knowledge and a very loose plan. We knew we wanted to see the moorish castle, and maybe catch a glimpse of the coast. After getting off the train, we met Sergio. He introduced the idea of the self guided tour and we were immediately interested. The reasonable price and multitude of destinations provided made us commit. We had an awesome 3 hours of sightseeing throughout sintra, ended with a breathtaking view of the rocky coast. Can’t recommend this service enough if you are in Sintra!

The best way to make the most of your day trip - Such a great idea for a trip to Sintra. We only had one day so we wanted to see as much as possible, we managed to see Pena Palace, Monserrate, and Quinta de Regaleira and even a quick visit to see the coast. It was so much fun driving the little car, we only wish we could have had more time. We didn’t get enough time to stop for lunch but Sergio and Victoria had lovely suggestions ready for us. Could not recommend this more, and parking was a breeze so I would do this again if I was to visit Sintra again! Thank you!

A fantastic must for Sintra! - This was a really lovely way of seeing Sintra. We were able to do it at our own speed and see what we want. For the same money as a organised tour we felt we got much better value for money with this. Sergio and his daughter, Victoria, are absolutely lovely and really were there to help. They made you feel comfortable and are genuinely just really nice people. We recommend!
