An Amazing Day Personalized Just For You!

This tour is for those who wish to experience Sintra to the fullest. Would you like to tour inside some monuments with an experienced guide? You got it! Do you want to explore unique places that tourists don't travel to because they are outside the mainstream guidebooks? You got it! Do you enjoy eating at non-touristy restaurants run by Portuguese families where you eat local food? You got it! This tour is meant to be totally customized for what you want to experience in Sintra. We can do a tour totally focused on the monuments of Sintra. Half focused on the monuments and half focused on the coastline of Sintra and Cascais. Or being more focused on the natural views and just seeing the monuments from outside. With this tour, you can end in Cascais so I can show you my hometown, and you can come back to Lisbon by train that runs along the coast. If this is something that you wish to experience on one of your days in Portugal, then just book the tour below. I will reach out to you to plan the tour with you.

Local Guide

With more than 4 years experience as a tour guide in Sintra, Daniel is the right person to show you the most scenic views and amazing stories of Sintra.

Photos Included

Daniel worked for many years as a professional photographer. He knows how to take the most beautiful pictures of you and your group in the most picturesque places of the mountain with the palaces behind you. You're going to have stunning photos of the tour.

We will always be traveling from one point to another with the tuk tuk.

This tour is not a regular sightseeing tour where you always stay inside the vehicle.

We will step outside the vehicle whenever we have a special view. This is so I can give you the story, show you the view/monument and take beautiful pictures of you.

  • Private transportation
  • WiFi if you’d like
  • Professional photography

What’s not included

  • Entry/admission to the Palaces

There are enough things in Sintra and Cascais to do in 3 days. These are some of the places that we can visit on this tour:

  • All the 7 monuments of Sintra (Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, Seteais Palace, Chalet Biester, Monserrate Palace)
  • Azenhas do mar
  • Cabo da Roca
  • Colares Winery (Wine tasting)
  • Santuary of Peninha
  • Cascais
  • Boca do Inferno
  • Guincho Beach
  • Adraga Beach
  • Apple Beach
  • Eufemia Viewpoint

Sintra is always the starting point for our tours. Train or Uber/taxi are the most efficient ways to get to Sintra.

The train can be picked up at Rossio station, which is located in the center of Lisbon. Last stop is Sintra. I will be at the gates of Sintra station waiting for you. It takes 40 minutes and costs around 2.30€ per person.

If you are coming with an Uber, I will send you a destination so we can meet there. It takes 30 minutes and costs around 20-30€.

Oh yes! :) It’s going to be one of the high moments of the tour. The restaurant that I will take you will be always local and non-touristic so you can try a typical original delicious portuguese food.

The restaurant is owned by a family where the owner is the son, the mother is inside the kitchen cooking and the father is serving the tables. 

Expect food full of love ;)

That depends on the season. On low season, we are able to skip most of the crowds and we can choose which monument do we want to see inside.

On high season, Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira (The well) are the most crowded monuments.

It’s possible to skip the lines to get into the terraces of Pena Palace. Now inside the palace the story is different. It gets packed and we need to follow the crowds from the beginning to the end, sometimes making us stuck inside the Palace for 1h. In my opinion, not worth it.

For Quinta da Regaleira it is possible to skip the entrance lines but the big lines are to go down the Initiation Well. Can take up to 45 to 1h30. In my opinion, not worth it.

If you’re coming on the high season don’t worry, there are other beautiful monuments that we can visit inside without having the crowds.

Book the tour with me and as an offer you’ll have a planning call with me and we will define together which monument we’ll visit inside.

  • Confirmation will be received at time of booking
  • Most travelers can participate
  • This experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund

Reviews

If you are looking for a fun way to tour Sintra or the surrounding areas - do not hesitate to book with Daniel Ponce! Our family of six adults spent 2.5 hours with him last week, touring Sintra - and it was one of the the highlights of our trip! Daniel is so friendly, and FUN and was so knowledgeable! We learned so much about the area during the tour, and he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, even bringing us treats from the area because the store that we would have stopped at was closed! My (adult) kids are still talking about it! Plus, Daniel went above and beyond helping me with train information, weather information and so much more. You won't be disappointed, Daniel is the real deal!

Brilliant tour with a brilliant guide. I highly recommend Daniel as your tour guide, he's as knowledgeable as he is passionate about this area. Friendly chap who made our visit to this special place even more special. During the tour several former guests he'd had earlier made a point of shouting hello and thanking him again for their tour, so I'm not alone in my view.

The best day in Sintra!! We had the best day in Sintra with Daniel Ponce and his Tuk Tuk - what an amazing day! We had so much fun and he took us to see the beautiful sights all sharing his love for this area. We had one of the BEST lunches of our trip and are so happy we spent the day with him. Through the whole planning process he provided all sorts of great info, made sure we knew how to pre purchase tickets and didn’t wait in any long lines, and showed us all the best view points. Communication was great and super easy to meet up from exiting the train station. I highly recommend Daniel!!

Best Tour Ever! Both delightful and very informative. I cannot say enough good things about this tour of Sintra that my best friend and I did with Daniel. What a delight! Daniel is so dynamic, fun, and knowledgeable. We learned SO much about so many different aspects of the area: the history, architecture, natural terrain and much more. And we had a gas throughout. Thank you, Daniel!!See you soon for another one…

Sintra Daniel’s way Daniel’s day long Tuk Tuk tour of Sintra was exceptional. I typically shy away from tours but Daniel’s genuine passion and knowledge was infectious. He is personable , caring, and became a friend by the end of the day. I highly recommend anyone visiting Portugal take the time to book one of his tours!

Daniel never showed, doesn't provide photos Needs his star rating dragged down as to not ruin your trip to Portugal. Been fighting him for months to the fact that he never showed.

Excellent We had an amazing tour yesterday with Daniel Ponce . The tour would not have been the same without him!He picked us up at our hotel, Pehna Longa and took us to Pena Palace and Quinta de Regaleira stopping along the way with stories and history. Then we all went to lunch in Sintra village . It was an absolutely amazing day!!Thank you Daniel

MUST BOOK DANIEL!!! Daniel was an AMAZING, EXCITING, and Most Competent tour guide. There is no one who knows the historical facts and ins and outs of Sintra and Portugal the way Daniel does! I would recommend Daniel 1000% of the time. He made us feel comfortable and also took great pics of us at selected monuments and places along the tour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Phenomenal Tour Guide Sintra is magical, mysterious and extremely hard to navigate without guidance. Our tour guide Daniel Ponce was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. His tuk tuk was easy to hop on and off and he covered the history as he explained the various architectural styles and who built these amazing palaces, plus current occupancy. Since the crowds were low, he went into Pena Palace with us for an indepth explanation. He went way out of his way to explain the veggitation, natural and what was brought into Portugal. Palm fern trees from Australia! From castles to beaches, his knowledge about Portugal is intriguing and with emotion. He took many photos of us amidst the monuments and gave tons of recommendations beyond the tour throughout all of Portugal. Highly recommend reaching out to him as the Sintra website is difficult to navigate as is the city. But mostly because he cares! Ask him about the centuries old pastries and who has the best! Thank you Daniel!
