So fun and informative! Katia and the tour were the best part of our Sintra visit.
lindakW8662AB, Apr 2025
We saw Katia as we walked through Sintra and she was friendly and energetic as she shared the tour options. We wanted to walk back to town and she immediately suggested a way that would work. She drove us to the top of the mountain and we walked down. The tour was fun, with so much history and local lore shared. She made sure she took photos of us and provided suggestions on anything we asked- such as her favorite local restaurant. Her love for the area and her appreciation of the outdoor beauty shone through. I highly recommend the tour and Katia????. And I’m glad we didn’t walk up to the Moorish Castle!

Dioro's wit, charm and humour made this tour such a memorable experience. Can't say enough about how he brightened what was shaping up to be not a very good day. His knowledge of the area, its history and culture was so interesting to listen to. We highly, highly recommend this guide!
