Free walking tours in Sintra

A wonderful journey through Sintra’s magic! This walking tour was one of the best experiences I had in Portugal! Constança Neto is such a brilliant guide — warm, friendly, and full of fascinating stories. You can tell she truly loves Sintra and knows every corner of it. Her explanations were detailed yet easy to follow, mixing history, art, and culture in a way that kept everyone interested from start to finish. I especially loved how she connected historical facts with everyday life and local traditions — it gave me a whole new perspective on the city. Constança’s passion and energy are contagious! She made the group feel comfortable, encouraged questions, and created a really positive atmosphere. By the end of the tour, I felt like I had not only learned a lot but also shared a meaningful moment with a local who genuinely cares about her heritage. I absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sintra — Constança is simply exceptional!

Cultured and insightful guru. It made the small hike a wonderful and rich experience.

The tour “The Heart and Soul of Sintra: History, Art and Culture” was absolutely amazing. Constança Neto is an outstanding guide — passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. She brought Sintra’s history and legends to life with such enthusiasm that every stop felt special. Constança explained everything in a clear and captivating way, mixing historical facts with local stories and cultural insights that you wouldn’t find in any guidebook. Her deep knowledge of art, architecture, and Portuguese culture made the whole experience truly enriching. What I appreciated most was her ability to connect with the group, answer every question patiently, and make everyone feel welcome and involved. You can really feel how much she loves what she does — and that makes all the difference! If you want to discover the real essence of Sintra, beyond the typical tourist spots, I can’t recommend this tour with Constança enough.

Llegamos con retraso al Tour porque tuvimos problemas de aparcamiento en Sintra, pero a pesar de todo, Manu me indicó dónde se encontraba el grupo y nos pudimos incorporar algo más tarde. Su simpatía y amabilidad nos deleitaron, y su forma de contar la historia de Sintra es fantástica! Muchas GRACIAS Manu!

La verdad que ha sido muy chulo. Manu es un guía estupendo y explica la historia de una manera que hace que no dejes de escucharle. Sin duda repetiría si alguna vez vuelvo!

Gracias Manu por hacer ánimo el tour con tu sentido del humor y pese a las cuestas.

Uma manhã muito bem passada. Uma forma muito boa e descontraída de se conhecer Sintra. Muitos parabéns!

I was really surprised by the tour. I’ve done quite a few free walking tours around the world and this one was one of the best ones, if not the best, actually. Constança is so passionate about what she she is talking about! It is impressive how much knowledge she has about Portugal history and all the landmarks. She is an absolute gem! I loved Sintra. We saw so many beautiful stops in this time that we spent together! The walk is done in a moderate pace. Everyone can do it. Always doing brakes to catch up and to give some more insight. I loved the stop that we did to have the typical pastry. Wow!!! You have to try it!! I would do this all over again just to get more time in this precious area of Portugal, and to learn more from Constança. 5 stars 🌟

A great tour, with a touch of Sintra magic! Monica was a superb tour guide, she kept us interested in the curiosities she wanted to share with us about Sintra.

The visit was very interesting, giving a general overview of the origin of the town of Sintra, its main monuments, and some historical curiosities. I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended!!!! Inês e Pedro

Foi tudo pensado ao pormenor. Cada detalhe! Recomendo vivamente, experiência incrível

Tour guide Kate was friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.

Já conhecia Sintra há muitos anos, mas faltava algum conhecimento histórico deste local tão místico. Fiquei bastante satisfeita com os locais visitados, entre os quais a Piriquita 2 com os seus deliciosos Travesseiros e a magnífica Ginginha, a encantadora Quinta da Regaleira, a fonte dos noivos de Sintra, a história do Hotel Lawrence, o emblemático Palácio Nacional de Sintra e muito mais. Para além de uma experiência bastante enriquecedora culturalmente, foi também uma experiência muito divertida. O Guru foi excecional. Alegre, com um discurso simples, apelativo e bastante esclarecedor no âmbito histórico. Recomendo vivamente!!

loved how Madalena organized the tour and how captivating and funny she was, that, combined with the mystique of Sintra, made the tour magical

Madalena was great, she took the time to explain everything to us, Sintra has such a rich culture. Madalena took us around in the best way possible, she is polite, knows a lot and funny, a truly GURU!
