Muito obrigado pelo carinho e atenção .
Hugo was highly recommended by a friend. It was our first trip to Portugal and we wanted someone experienced in the city who would facilitate our trip. Hugo instantly became part of our family, he warmly welcomed us and exceeded all of our expectations. Hugo is personal, trustworthy, protective, smart, punctual and knowledgeable. He took us to Cabo da Roca, Cascais, Fátima, Douro and Porto. He also took us to eat the most delicious Portuguese food in town. I highly recommend his services and would definitely keep in touch for our next trips to Portugal.
Thank you very much for your trust and affection! Have good health to continue traveling and be happy!
Hugo was an amazing tour guide and truly made our trip to Portugal unforgettable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor that kept the whole family engaged and having fun. He shared so much about the history and culture in a way that was really interesting and easy to connect with. His van is very clean and comfortable. One of the highlights was when he took us to a fantastic all-inclusive lunch spot—delicious food, great atmosphere, and something we never would have found on our own. Hugo went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. If you get the chance to tour with him, don’t hesitate—he’s the best!
Recent storm lead to closures of many sites in Sintra. Only national palace in city was opened. Also did not go to Cascais. We were not notified of the monument closures until we arrived for the tour. Would have cancelled otherwise.Not a good value!
....sorry, who did you guys do the tour with? ... could there be some misunderstanding??? thanks ! hugo martins
An Unforgettable Tour with the Best Guide – Hugo! We had an absolutely amazing full-day tour in Sintra with Hugo, and I can’t recommend him enough! From start to finish, he made sure we had the best experience possible. Hugo knows Sintra inside and out and shared fascinating details about every landmark and historical site we visited. His knowledge is impressive, and he explains everything in a way that makes history come alive. He even took us to a fantastic local restaurant with delicious food, giving us a taste of authentic Portuguese cuisine. His car was super comfortable, and he was incredibly patient, stopping at every scenic spot so we could take in the views, snap photos, and enjoy the moment. He never rushed us and always waited with a smile. Another great thing about Hugo is that he speaks multiple languages. he spoke to us in English but was also fluent in other languages, making the experience even more seamless. Most importantly, Hugo is an amazing person ,funny, kind, and incredibly patient. Spending the day with him felt like exploring the city with a friend rather than just a guide. If you're planning to visit Sintra, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Hugo. You won’t regret it!
My friends and I arrived in Sintra by train, and Hugo offered to be our guide for the day. What we experienced exceeded all our expectations. Hugo shared fascinating facts about the area in great detail, and we traveled in an exceptionally comfortable Mercedes Benz minivan. The day was filled with laughter, and Hugo's fantastic playlist added to the fun atmosphere. It was easily one of the best days of our trip. Hugo not only provided excellent insights but also created a wonderful, welcoming vibe. Thanks to him, I can't wait to visit Sintra again. I wholeheartedly recommend his services. Aušra
First if all, thank you, Hugo, for an unexpectedly wonderful day in Sintra! We had no plan when you met us in the train station, but now we have the best memories to remember from your tour. Friendliness, kindness, 5* service, good emotions and smiles followed us during all trip. We could sit back and relax as you have planned and overseen everything for us. You adviced the places to go, gave us a lot information about places we have seen, you even checked availability for the castles and booked the tickets for us avoiding the queues and all for a very friendly price. Your Mercedes is in very good condition, comfortable, air-conditioned, new and clean which made our trip even more superb. And the local place you booked for us to have lunch was the must. And your play list... Wow! Thank you from all five of us. We will recommend your trips and use your service again! All th best!
