Cool day trip - There are many ways to explore Sintra but Maria has something really special. She took us to alternative places around the area and she explained to us with details the history about them. I totally recommend her, you won't regret it. Thank you Maria for such an incredible day.

Private tour with Mariah - We went on a private tour with Mariah and she was amazing! We travelled with a small child so it was important for us to have a comfort as well as to see all the beautiful places around, so this tour in the car was exactly what we expected. We did a complete tour of Sintra and Cascais in one day. Mariah knows all about the Sintra region and will show you all the secret places that you normally wouldn’t even see. Great experience!

Magical and mystical tour - As a local who has lived in Sintra for 30 years, Mariah is the perfect guide to the magical city of Sintra. She knows all of the secret places that you won't get to see on an ordinary tour, like Don't be fooled by the lack of reviews, Mariah is a very experienced guide and has done incredible amounts of research on the history of Sintra. If you want to dig a little deeper into the history of Sintra and Portugal, this is the tour for you. Mariah has a wide spectrum of knowledge about the history, that shaped Portugal.

Wonderful Sintra - I loved everything, it was really worth taking this tour with Maria, she was an excellent guide. It was a shame that I was left without my photos, when I lost my cell phone a few days later.
