Terrific Guide

João was wonderful. He is very knowledgeable, pleasant and flexible. He altered our trip easily to avoid the crowds and lines. He could not have done a better job. When we are back in Lisbon we will definitely avail ourselves of his services. I highly recommend him snd the company.

Best-of-the-best! Must-do when in Lisbon!

Phenomenal tour which highlighted Sintra’s must-see spots. Visited not only the key Sintra landmarks but also got to see the coast and local hangouts. João was the best tour guide, he was extremely insightful and knowledgeable on all things related to Sintra and overall Portugal’s history. He was accommodating to the my needs and flexible with our plans, allowing more or less time at each stop depending on my interests. I’d suggest this to anyone looking for an exciting day trip outside the city and who wants to enjoy the great outdoors. Thanks João!!

I Took a Tuk Tuk - private van Sintra tour with 2 young adult sons. They loved our guide!

John was such an excellent guide - what a gentleman and so incredibly knowledgeable! My two adult sons and husband asked questions about EVERYTHING Portugal for 8 straight hours (sports, history, traditions, culture, economics)- and John answered them all with so much information and enthusiasm! My family had an absolutely incredible day - thank you John!

Pena Palace Tour

We had already used I Took a Tuk Tuk for a tour around Lisbon which was fantastic so was really looking forward to a private tour of Sintra, Pena Palace and Cabo Da Roca. The guide we had for the day was Miguel. He was so entertaining and knowledgeable about the sites we visited.But went above and beyond to give further information to enhance the day. The company booked a restaurant in Sintra which was excellent for lunch after the palace. We then visited Azenhas do Mar on the coast and also the most westerly point in Europe which is Cabo da Roca. A really full day which everybody agreed was great value for money with the added benefit of having Miguel as our guide.
