Wonderful day of sightseeing in Sintra - Rafael was a wonderful tour guide for our day of sightseeing in Sintra. He was flexible and friendly with us (and patient) when we confused our tour plan. Once we got ourselves back on track, we had a wonderful day, with lots of great historical information that Rafael provided. He also took us for an amazing lunch at a local spot and the food was excellent. He balanced the day with some natural wonders as well. Overall, I cannot recommend him more highly - book with Rafael and you will have a perfect day!

An Amazing Day with Rafael - Touring Sintra with Rafael was an absolute pleasure. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. The day started with a walk up to the Moorish Castle. It was a peaceful morning in the area, so we were able to avoid a lot of the crowds to take in the views and learn about the grounds. After, we visited Pena Palace. A well timed entry and quick walk around the terrace allowed us to avoid long queues. Lunch at a local restaurant and a walk around Rafael’s home village gave us the off the beaten path experience we love in small European villages. We finished up with some off-roading and site seeing on the coast (including a visit to the windiest point in Portugal!) to close an amazing day of learning and good laughs. I’d highly recommend touring with Rafael. There was never a dull moment in the day. He was naturally relatable, a great conversationist, and a pleasure to spend the day with!

Great day trip of Sintra - Rafael toured my wife and I around Sintra and the surrounding areas on a full day tour. Promptly picked us up at our hotel and we spent an enjoyable and informative day with him. Being born in Sintra he had great insights and navigated us around very efficiently. It was fun to see more than just the busy tourist sites and more of the local area and beauty.

Sintra & Coastal Cliffs - We had a great day on the Sintra Tour. Rafael was very knowledgeable on history of the area. We had multiple stops including Sintra National Palace, Seteais Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, and Pendel Village. We had an excellent lunch with his recommendations. Before delivering us back to our Lisbon Hotel we stopped at some great scenic overlooks Alvidrar, Fojo Cliffs and the Peninha Sanctuary. Highly recommend!
