A unique experience - I don’t even know where to start, but this activity was undoubtedly a major highlight of my trip. I was fortunate to meet Rafael, who was incredibly knowledgeable about Sintra and all the fascinating places we visited. I owe him a huge thanks for making this trip not only personalized but also special for my birthday. I genuinely felt like I was on an adventure. One of the best aspects of this activity is traveling in a jeep, which allows you to access many places that are not reachable by ordinary cars, including several non-touristy spots. Our jeep for the day was called Betty, and we thoroughly enjoyed riding with her. Additionally, I was lucky to meet other wonderful girls during the trip, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring with them. We also ventured into the countryside of Sintra to learn about Colares wine. Rafael, once again, impressed us with his extensive knowledge of its history, sharing numerous facts and information. We had the option to participate in a wine tasting, which was very affordable and amazing. This activity is perfect whether you go with a friend or solo (like I did), as it offers the opportunity to meet new people and explore together as a group. Rafael also took us to an amazing restaurant that offered very affordable menus with excellent food quality and generous portions. There were also moments to explore some places alone, which I found very pleasant. If you’re unsure about booking this activity, trust me, you will definitely enjoy it! It’s a unique experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to discover Sintra and its coast in a special and engaging way.

Tena Ladies on Tour - We had fantastic day myself & 6 friends, we started in Sintra with our tour guide Luis, he brought up the mountains to see a wonderful castle & other beautiful old houses, he told us all about the history behind these beautiful places. Then on down to the coast which was breathtaking, before we finished in Cascais. Would really recommend this trip Geraldine

Epic & Authentic Portugal Tour - This was hands down the best tour any of our party have ever been on. Tomas was our AMAZING guide! He was extremely knowledgable in all aspects of the tour. Not only that, but he is an awesome person and so much fun to be around. We ended up booking with him the following day for a van tour through Lisbon because of how personable and fun he made the tour. Wonder Van was definitely the best choice! Fair and very easy to work with. 110% recommend!!
