What a lovely tour you arranged for Jane and me when we were in Sintra! You customized the tour to align with my physical challenges – and the knowledge you shared regarding the locations we visited was awesome! Thank you so much for the efforts you made to accommodate us. You did a great job! I would encourage everyone to plan their trips with you!

A terrific guided tour in Sintra! We had a wonderful private tour with Sofia in Sintra. Saw the Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle, walked through the beautiful woods of the palace at leisure, tasted the delicious local pastry brought by Sofia. After the tour, she also drove us to a beachfront restaurant to enjoy a local seafood lunch while watching the ocean waves. Sofia was a very professional guide, knowledgeable and fun to be with. It's also a great bonus that she knows how to take great photos and loves animals. I enjoyed this tour tremendously and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a private tour to Sintra!

We spent a day with Sofia exploring Sintra. It was apparent to us within a few minutes that we’d made a great decision. She is incredibly enthusiastic about her favorite town, and knows details we never would have discovered on our own or through a guidebook. From the first stop, Sofia took us on back paths to avoid crowds and roads, and especially to enjoy the lush surroundings. She’s practically a botanical encyclopedia. She brought the history of the sites to life for us, and visit places we never would have seen (or understood). She’s so good that several times we heard others nearby say, “we should follow her around.” There is so much to do in Sintra that you can’t see it in a day, and she helped us prioritize a second visit on our own to make the most of our time. We’ve taken many private tours, but Sofia is something special. Do not miss a chance to spend time with this passionate, delightful person!

From the start Sofia was wonderful giving you a big smile and a wonderful hug. Within the first 30 minutes you could tell Sofia loved her job and she treated you like we had been friends for years. Our tour of Sintra was amazing. Sofia would tell and show you things that you would miss.

We had a great time with Sofia in Sintra. The area is incredibly beautiful and it was well worth the time to see it. We would love to come back someday to really explore the surrounding areas. Sofia is incredibly knowledgeable and we could see that she truly loves Sintra and being a tour guide. We would highly recommend her! Thank you for the amazing experience!

Sofia was an excellent guide. I felt more like I was hiking with a friend than on a tour, which I find a far more comfortable dynamic. We hiked to a beach that is completely remote and has incredible views out to the sea all the way down. The beach itself is very special as it has large rock formations, so it's a bit otherworldly. As a tourist, I'm always trying to find ways to the lesser-known and more remote gems in places. It's not always easy to find them, but Sofia's tour takes you right to one of the best. Also, since she's from Sintra, she had great recommendations for the town, which I explored after our hike.

We had a wonderful day in Sintra together with Sofia. We were very satisfied with the content of the day. Sofia had a lot of interesting and good knowledge, and she had arranged the days content fully satisfactory. She gave us many good tips about Lisbon, what to visit, were to eat and more. Thank you very much to Sofia. We can recommend her to other visitors in Lisbon.

Ah, Sofia is a natural guide. She's very warm and extremely knowledgeable of the history and hidden spots in Sintra. I highly recommend Sofia for your trip to Sintra! 

Nous avons eu une journée incroyable avec Sofia. Dynamique, attentive et intéressée par sa ville, elle sait nous la faire apprécier et nous la faire découvrir. Nous la recommandons chaudement. Myriam, Christiane et Ben!

We had such a wonderful time with Sofia. Our family - two kids - enjoyed every second. Fantastic, magical Convent, lots of secret places, spectacular views...and on top a birthday-cake! Perfect guide/host. Sorry that we could only give you 10 "hearts".

Thank You Sofia for the excellent guidance of Sintra - we enjoyed every single minute of the tour :), and you are such a terrific person to have as a guide! :) You gave us a lot of knowledge and stories and history of Sintra, we are so grateful :)

Sofia gave us a great tour of Sintra with great suggestions for things to do in Sintra after the tour. If you are going to Sintra, we would highly recommend hiring Sofia to show you around. She can customize the tour perfectly for you. We are fairly fit, so she took us on an amazing hike to the Moorish Castle, but she will create a tour for you if you are unable to take such a hike. Just let her know your physical capabilities. She also included a wonderful pastry and delicious drink. Our visit was wonderful.
