My name is Diogo, i am an archaeologist and i live in Sintra since i can remember. As a local I've gathered knowledge and love for my land that i now want to share. I've been involved with archaeological excavations in Sintra where we uncovered treasures from past cultures. I am also a local tour guide with plenty of local advise for the newcomers who want to enjoy our marvelous land. I've made this tour thinking about out of the box places that tourists usually don't visit in Sintra, whether it's because mostly only locals know them or they are hard to find. In my view, this tour offers Sintra in it's raw and authentic state away from the crowds with a lot of past secrets to share.

Cần Quan Tâm
Castelo dos Mouros
We will start our tour with a pick up at Sintra train Station and proceed to visit a ruined medieval village at the gates of the Moorish castle, there, we will see the remains of an archaeological excavation where i worked back in 2012 and is now an open air museum with old structures, graves popping off the ground and a museum with a lot of artifacts we found there.
Santuario da Peninha
The seccond place we will visit lies in the middle of the Sintra forest where an old chapel lies on a top of a hill, this chapel is known as an old pilgrimage spot where a miracle happened. Another ruined building is also seen on this barren hill top, this ruined church has its foundations on the foundation of Portugal itself. Our journey will continue to this more place of the hill, away from the crowds and mostly known only by locals. For me one of the best views of all the Lisbon bay area.
Bao gồm
A typical Sintra pastry called queijadas will be offered as an welcome snack!

Private tour of Sintra with Anna

5.00Our private tour of Sintra was conducted by Anna S. She is the consummate tour guide and personally guided us through Pena Palace in Sitra, Portugal. It is about 45 minutes from Lisbon and is a must see attraction. Her knowledge of the palace was incredible and we never had to strain to hear her describe what we were seeing. Her English is fluent and she speaks other languages as well.
Fantastic day with a local guide!

5.00We highly recommend this tour for those that are interested in history. We are experienced travelers, but don’t know a lot about this area in Portugal. Our guide, Diogo, took us through some of the local sites for the day, providing a vast amount of information and great stories about local events and explaining the historical context and significance We traveled with two children ages, 11 and 13 and he tailored the topics and the stops to all four of our interests, he even added a couple things along the route that he thought would be of interest to us. All in all it was a highlight of our trip to this area and I would absolutely recommend this to a friend.
Truly a gem.

5.00Unforgettable Experience! Diogo’s tour exceeded all our expectations from start to finish. Our guide was an absolute gem—adaptable, incredibly knowledgeable, and tuned in to exactly what we were interested in. Rather than sticking rigidly to a script, he tailored the experience to us, adding unique touches and insights that made the day truly personal and unforgettable. He didn’t just show us the sights—He brought the history and culture to life, and even suggested fantastic additional places for us to explore on our own afterward. We especially appreciated the recommendation for a local restaurant—it turned out to be one of the best meals of our entire trip! The car was a delight to ride in—comfortable, stylish, and added a fun element to the whole experience. Every detail felt thoughtful and elevated. Don’t hesitate—if you have the chance to take this tour, go for it. You’ll be talking about it long after your trip ends!
The green city, Sintra💚

Go beyond the beaten path

5.00Diogo (who speaks perfect english) is a local archeologist with extensive knowledge in the historical ruins of Portugal. He opened my eyes to the Evora region after he noticed my interest in the local economy, culture and religious history. After a few sites were closed for maintenance, we revised my tour. It included the archeological site at the Moorish Castle, church ruins, a regional lunch (Bifana and Chicken soup), a cork factory, the Roman (Diana’s) Temple, the Cathedral with the oldest working organ in Europe, the chapel of bones, storks, miles of olive trees and cork forests! If you want a custom tour off the beaten path with an energetic local who is a great translator…. Diogo is your guy!
