We booked a tour of Sintra with Hello tours by recommendation of a friend. Not disappointed at all. Our guide Maria was the BEST!!! She was so nice and was very helpful. She was very informative and knew her history! I would recommend this company to anyone.

Die private Ganztagestour nach Sintra, Cabo da Roca und Cascais war einmalige Klasse, - die beste Wahl für alle, die die berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten außerhalb Lissabons in einem komfortablen und individuellen Tempo erkunden möchten. Ein wunderschöner Tag voller Geschichte, Naturwunder und atemberaubender Ausblicke mit einem local Guide. Absolut empfehlenswert! Herzlichen Dank Francisco Palma für die atemberaubenden Ein- und Ausblicke!
I travelled to Portugal in a group of 10. Maria and Francisco met us at the airport. They greeted us warmly and immediately made us feel welcome. They were knowledgeable when they took us on our tours, and were patient when we peppered them with questions. They suggested some great restaurants and introduced us to great local foods! I highly recommend their services!
Maria and Francisco were excellent hosts. Their knowledge of Portugal is really top tier. Both are very pleasant and catered to the needs of our 10-people group. On my return to Portugal I’m sure to contact them again! Thanks guys for making my trip even more special ♥️
Maria & Francisco were Top Notch
Nos fue muy bien con María!! Nos recomendó y dio muy buenos tips para visitar el castillo de la Pena y otras opciones cercanas a Lisboa

We were looking for someone who knew Sintra, speaks English, has their own car and has a pleasant personality. We found all of this in Maria. Highly recommended.
Maria Fatima is an excellent tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable about Portuguese history and culture. Her explanations were very clear and she patiently answered all of our questions in great detail. She spent about 6 hours with us and drove us to see various beautiful sights including the westernmost point in Europe. Plus, she was very friendly had a great sense of humor.
Cintra is spectacular but Francisco is more so with his picturesque Italian showed us the beauties of his Portugal which, thanks to him, has also become a little ours. His great culture and love for his country made our stay unforgettable
Maria explained many curiosities and gave us a lot of information. It made our trip exceed expectations. He also advised us routes to take advantage of our short stay and things to do if or if. If we come back, we'll repeat for sure
