Hello from Lisbon!! I'm António and I'm a professional tour guide. I was born and raised in the magical town of Sintra, right next to Lisbon. I've traveled the world but it's here, in the cosyness of home, that I feel the most happy. And it's this passion for Portugal in all its diversity that led me to love sharing the wonders of my country with others. Visitors still become surprised with the amount of beauty and history/culture they come a cross in Portugal and telling them those stories and showing those places is something that gives me great pleasure and that makes me enjoy touring so much. I'm naturally very curious (don't be surprised if I ask you a ton of questions about your country). Is this curiosity that keeps motivating me to know more about how Portugal became what it is now a days in all aspects. And as a tour guide this is something I'm proud of. After all, my main goal is for you and your party have the most fun possible while experiencing and learning about this wonderfull European country. In most tours I try to balance between history, culture, nature and beautiful scenery. For that I have specialized in Private tours so we can have all the flexibility of time and itinerary that better suits you. Customized tours are very welcome as well so do not hesitate. Before becoming a tour guide I've studied Physical Geography and a Master's in Coastal Dynamics. This is something that I still love and follow but it was not so attractive professionally. And it's a skill that allows me to put some different interesting perspectives about the places we visit. Join me to discover and experience the best of Portugal!

This private tour is the perfect way to experience all of Sintra's wonders on an efficient, relaxed and fun way! In aproximately 6 to 8 Hours we will visit and experience the enchanted Sintra's history and heritage where the Palaces and Gardens of the romantic period contrast with a medieval 10th century Moorish Castle. We will also visit little coastal villages with its picturesque architecture and a beautiful rugged coast line and fishing vibe. Here we will relax for lunch and have the opportunity to try great traditional dishes and seafood. If you love history with a touch of enchantment and romanticism, different cultures and raw scenic nature, I'm sure you''ll fall in love with this place, as my family did 3 generations ago, and have a day to remember. I will drive you in a confortable mini van and pick you up and drop you off at the place of your choice. As a licensed guide I can avoid lines for all the attractions.
Antonio was an excellent guide for our day trip to Sintra. He is friendly and had was flexible to include the things we wanted to see. Since he grew up in Sintra, he navigated with ease and had a good plan. Booked a great restaurant on the ocean which was delicious and memorable. Pacing through the day was great and we felt we got an informative and comprehensive tour.
He was very informative and very friendly. Made us all feel very comfortable.
This tour was absolutely amazing! Antonio was knowledgeable, telling us the history and significance of the different points of interest on the tours. We were picked up at our AirBNB, making it as really seamless way to begin the exploration. We were a large party of 8 and were extremely comfortable in the large, air conditioned van. We were allowed plenty of time at each stop. I would 100 percent recommend this tour, and specifically Antonio, if you're traveling to Lisbon.
We loved our tour of Sintra. We were able to take our time and visit the palaces and not feel rushed. Our guide was from the area so he offered a lot of personal insights that made the area come alive. Best tour on our month long journey.
Antonio is a great tour guide with so much knowledge to share about Sintra and all the best attractions because he grew up there and lives in the area. We found him to be flexible, very knowledgeable, and yet knows when a quiet moment to take everything in is needed. He is great with kids as well helping to find their interests and align the tour accordingly. Safe and good driver.
Antonio was excellent. He picked us up and dropped us off at our rental. He gave us our options and we developed a plan together for the day based on our interests and our preferred pace. He was super knowledgeable and gave an excellent tour of Sintra. Highly recommend!
