Perfect day in and around Sintra! - We saw and learned so much more than we would have if we had tried to do this on our own! Diogo was friendly and personable and a wealth of information about the history of everything we saw! He knew all the ins and outs to navigate us seamlessly through the day so that we could see as much as possible (Moorish Castle, Pena, Regaleira, Monseratte, Sintra village, Azenhas do mar). He was flexible and open to whatever we wanted to do. It was worth every penny and more. We highly recommend Diogo and Outing Portugal!

Connecting to the past in the present: An exploration around Sentra - A wonderful experience with an extremely knowledgeable guide that made for a memorable time. I appreciate getting a deeper historical education, as I begin to peace together the sad and beautiful history of Portugal, including the stories of its kings and queens. Portugal is a magical and romantic land. Visiting the gardens, Pena palace, and Quinta de Regaleira goes beyond words. As I took a few moments to sit and connect with the land, and take some time to imagine the stories told, not as some distant event, but as other human life events deserving of empathy, it was quite the journey. Thank you, Outing!

Incredible Trip and Tour Guide - If you are thinking of booking this tour, don't hesitate - it was a highlight of our trip! Our tour guide Diogo was thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, considerate and engaging. He made the history of the area very interesting. We especially enjoyed touring Pena Palace, Quinta da Regalia, the Moorish castle and Azenhas do Mar. Diogo took extra initiative to guide us through busy areas and help us get the most out of our day. Thank you so much Diogo for your wonderful and personalized tour of Sintra.

Best part of our Portugal trip - My friend and I hadn't heard of Sintra until we heard of Outing and it was such an amazing tour and trip. We wouldn't have been able to explore Sintra on our own and having our wonderful guide Diogo was a life saver. It's a small village, but you can't get around it without a car or a tour guide if you don't know Portuguese. Also Diogo was an awesome tour guide not just sharing the history of the places, but also the best local spots to eat and shop at.

Amazing tour of Sintra! - Me, my husband and our twin girls (15) had a wonderful time in Sintra with Diogo Sampaio from Outing! Portugal. He is extremely knowledgeable about Sintra and Portuguese history and gave us a ton of great information. We learned so much! We have recently moved to Portugal and found the entire experience very educational. It's important to hire a tour guide to see SIntra, there is so much to see and do but getting around is difficult. You need someone who knows their way around to really maximize the day. I recommend Outing! Portugal to get the most of your time in SIntra!
