Myself and my parents got the train from Rossio to Sintra (a lot cheaper and just as easy as a taxi!!) and instead of getting the bus to Pena Palace (which just takes you straight there and back) we opted for a more personal tour of Sintra which was lead by Aundrea. As Aundrea has grown up in Sintra he was able to show us many things which we would have missed getting the bus. The tour included Pena Palace (which also provided beautiful views of the castle), Quinta Da Regaleria and the historic old town. During the tour Aundrea showed us some hidden treasures of Sintra such as the only cork tree in Sintra, secret viewing points for amazing pictures, ruins of the wall which was damaged in the Rally, fresh water fountains and places to eat and drink. Overall we could not have asked for a more helpful, cheery and prompt driver! The tour lasted the day however there were many other things we could have seen if we was to stay until the evening e.g. Cascias and Amadora. The car he drove us around in was so quirky and was an additional bonus to the tour.

Arriving at Sintra by train and with no real plan, we were happened upon by Andre. Absolutely charming and very proud of his home town, he drove us in his convertable, classic Renault, pointing out sites and view points that would usually be missed by the hop on hop off buses. He started us off at a little cafe that sold the most mouth crumbling pastries and, so fuelled, we spent the next few hours visiting key sights, listening to music and being dropped off and picked up to suit our need. Thank you Andre. You made our day trip and truely memorable and enjoyable one.

I went to Sintra and we a talking with this gentleman about taking a tour this young lady with long brown hair came to park her tuck tuck roan us over and drag my nice with her door that she had opened. And instead of checking if she was ok she had a nasty attitude !!!!She just reply that accidents happen! That’s true but this lady doesn’t qualify to be on this job with tourists. She was rude , nasty unprofessional. The company should fire her butt !!!!! So we refuse to give money to this company! We took the train instead!!!
The lady was friendly she just didn’t speak to good Portuguese . She only spooked good French no ingles .

Sintra is a very nice town near Lisbon (one of the must see places). If you want to see the insider places besides the main sites you definitely need to go and find Andre on the train station. He starts the tour with great music in his van/car and he'll do whatever it takes to make you feel good and have a positive experience. He's a local and he'll show you the places he enjoys to visit as well as the castle, Pena palace, Sintra downtown, Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, great local restaurant with excellent food and the list goes on.... :)
you can arrange the tour anyway you want it - he took us to a casino at the end :) no limitations from his side

Andre took us on a tour of Sintra showing us his favourite places, often stopping his open topped jeep type car to show us a great view or to give us some historical facts. He was able to navigate the narrow roads far better and more entertainingly than any of the tour buses and considerably cheaper! At the end of our tour he took us to a cafe where we ate delicious sardines from the BBQ. He was charming and not at all 'pushy' and clearly very proud of his birthplace, check him out, you won't be disappointed!

I'm so glad we got Andrea for our guide. He drove us to places around Sintra and charged us for a very minimal amount. I must say that the price is good compared to waiting in lines at the hop on hop off. He waited for us at each site that we visited and was willing to drive us anywhere around the place! Really great experience to be with a local as well. plus great music in the car as we drove :)
