Overview of your Lisbon tour

A magical journey through Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you will be mesmerised by the stunning architecture with long history and rich culture. From the comfort of the air-conditioned car you will admire Sintra's famous city views which have no equal. Our short city tour will provide unforgettable sightseeing and photography delights. After a lifetime in Sintra, I am proud to be able to share with you many tales related to every corner of this magical city. Thanks to passion for history and my local roots, I present you a unique flavour and a genuine perspective on this enchanting city. There is good reason why Lord Byron called it a "glorious Eden"! We will stop for lunch where you can enjoy real local dishes and fish brought by nearby fishermen on that day. We will escape to Sintra Cascais Natural Park which is a masterpiece of its own, filled with unbelievable beaches and natural viewpoints. I will take you to some of my favourite spots where you will be inspired by Mother Nature.

Sintra is absolutely stunning, and Miguel was the perfect guide for the day! As a small group of women, including one with mobility limitations, we were thrilled with Miguel's attentiveness and ability to adapt to the group needs. When we realized it would be nearly impossible for mobility challenged group member to make it up to Pena Palace, Miguel enchanted her with stories while we continued to the top! Miguel made a wonderful recommendation for a bakery in town, and we were able to sample local Portuguese treats that were delicious! He also drove us to the westernmost point on the European continent - what a great stop! Miguel is an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable about the area. His pride in his country made the day particularly special!

We had a wonderful tour of Sintra and the surrounding area with Miquel Vidal. He was very knowledgeable about the area and all the history that goes along with it. He gave us plenty of time to explore and we never felt rushed. We had a great lunch at a restaurant in Sintra, and then went along the coast to see the surrounding area and beaches. Would highly recommend.

We did the Sintra tour with Miguel and had the best day! We highly recommend using Miguel! Miguel was was very knowledgeable, on time and easy to spend the day with! We learned so much and were able to see so much more of Portugal with him than we would if we tried to do it ourselves or on a tour bus.

Miguel was an extraordinary guide with an exceptional knowledge of the world and local history that made our experience one of a kind, He knew and showed us the most relevant places including a nice restaurant for lunch. We had the best dessert we’ve ever tried at the restaurant. We highly recommend him for any travelers who enjoy a more intelectual guide in Lisbon and Sintra.
