A partner. A father. A teacher. A traveller. A passionate drummer. A certified tour guide. Throughout my journey I have been a wonder wanderer - Traveling with the curiosity to discover places, understand their culture and make friends along the way. I always prefer doing it by foot as the rhythm and lack of barriers let all our senses experience the moment. Let's do it together.

Tour description

A tour of Sintra and Inside Quinta de Regaleira - The palace with the famous well (Which is not a well at all).

Wander around Sintra, a fairy tail town dotted with palaces, castles, fountains and spectacular landscapes, set against the evergreen most western mountain range of Europe.

Discover diverse human heritage (ancient and contemporary), and get to know Sintra's stories: Early settlements, tales of conquests, royal presence, aristocratic vanity, romantic artists and local traditions.

  • Meet outside Sintra's train station.
  • Reveal Portuguese heritage elements in the Manueline architecture style of the city hall.
  • Walk along the promenade under the magnificent plane trees.
  • View the Moorish castle and hear their story by the Moorish fountain. (The Moors, not the Moops... 😉)
  • Wander the cobbled alleys of the historical centre and taste local pastries.
  • Get to know the royal family by the national palace of Sintra. 
  • Reveal the underground secrets of Quinta da Regaleira's mystical grottoes and the story behind it. (The second half of the tour is there.)
  • The tour ends at  Quinta da Regaleira - a 10 min walk from the historic centre, where there are many lunch options.
  • Get recommendations and tips for your time in Sintra.
