Summary:
Diogo as a fabulous tour guide, customized our tour to exactly what we wanted to do and see. He took us to see monuments and palaces as well as the ocean and mountains. He is very knowledgeable and we learned so much history from him. Last but not least he recommended an amazing restaurant to go to at the end of the tour. Thank you Diogo for a trip we will not forget and when (not if) we return to Sintra we will contact you for another tour!
