About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- randompetite0 contributionsRain or shine, the tour must go on!Our tour guide Diogo was very informative and entertaining all throughout despite the bad weather. His van was well-equipped with all the things we might use for the tour like umbrellas and bottled water. He also gave us tips on where to eat and landmarks to see on each area. Overall, i’d loved to see Sintra and Pena Palace on a sunny day next timeWritten January 31, 2025
- 46hr0 contributionsWonderful day in SintraHugo was a great guide and made sure different groups of the tour were all looked after. He had good knowledge and the tour was well-paced. I liked that we arrived before the main crowds at Pena Palace so we could enjoy it properly.Written January 27, 2025
- VictorViks0 contributionsPena - never when it rains!We were unfortunate to visit Pena Palace on a cold, rainy day. It was nobody's fault, however reception could have been better than the weather. After having bought our tickets using a vending machine at the entrance we have walked for some time uphill in the rain, as the courtesy bus shut it's door in front of our noses.Our entry time was scheduled in one hour. We had to queue inside of a tunnel leading to Pena Palace. We were asked by staff to move on outside and the queue was not moving for another 15 minutes while the rain was pouring on us. Why couldn't we wait in thetunnel and be asked towards the entrance in time to get in? The staff were not trained neither instructed and frankly rude. This treatment has ruined our visit to a quite spectacular interior of the Palace.Written January 24, 2025
- davidmrego0 contributionsWalking down to your inner selfIt was totally worth it. The Quinta is just amazing. It would take your breath away. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and it’s absolutely amazing.Written January 23, 2025
- jilr20250 contributionsDefinitely Recommended!!!Andrea was such a pleasure to have as a guide! She was knowledgeable and so considerate of peoples needs and preferences. She made sure all our questions were answered and was very kind!Written January 13, 2025
- abbycG5337ZO0 contributionsKnowledgeable guide, good pace: better than navigating sintra on your own for sureSilva is a cheerful and knowledgeable guide. Seeing these sights would not have been the same without his insights and I was surprised he could answer many of my husbands random questions. The tour is well structured: the pickup spot was easy to navigate to and our guide located everyone in the group. You have a nice amount of time for breakfast and lunch in sintra: enough time to relax but not get bored. I’m glad we weee able to visit the famous bakery and get a coffee. I think the pacing was very well done. You can see the sights, take pictures, explore a bit but we returned by 4:30-5ish so we still had some time in Lisbon in the evening. I wasn’t sure whether to try and navigate sintra on our own or with a tour, but after we got through it I’m so glad I booked this tour as I think trying to get transport to and from and navigating everything on our own would be stressful, and the cost of transport alone would be close to what they charge for this tour. Thanks Silva! :) I highly recommend this tour!Written January 9, 2025
- Genevieve A0 contributionsEnlightening, enjoyable experience in Evora and MonsarazWe had a great day in Evora and Mansaraz. Our tour guide was very friendly and accommodating, providing a lot of guided time with interesting information as well as time to explore the areas on our own. Both Evora and Mansaraz are beautiful old towns, much quieter than Lisbon but full of history and culture. We loved learning about and seeing the influence of Rome and Morocco and the views in Monsaraz were amazing. The bone chapel in Evora is an astonishing place to witness, and the other sites were incredible to experience as well. The wine tasting was near the wineries with informative staff and though we have had more direct winery tours in other places, we both really enjoyed it and left with a few bottles. The whole day was memorable and one of the highlights of our week spent in Lisbon.Written December 8, 2024
- jean-jacques7770 contributionsMost Interesting Day Tour EverThis was by far one of the best tours I've taken worldwide. It was a surprise because I didn't know much about Sintra nor the incredible architecture involved in the Regaleira Estate. The gardens are incredibly impressive but Palacio de Regaleira is a blend of majestic Manueline and Gothic influences. Every inch of the palace has ornate carving work and Freemasonry symbolism with pavilions, galleries and gazebos. The Initiation Well part of the grounds is the most memorable, especially if you are energized by architecture, landscaping, and esoteric mysteries. Also, I've read many full-length articles online with countless photos, and none of them properly captured what this place really is. The tour is composed of 2 legs, with several breaks to explore Sintra. The first leg is the exploration of the Regaleira Estate, which will blow your mind. There is a 90 minute break where you can find a restaurant to chill, enjoy a meal while discussing the crazy experience you just had, and have a few glasses of wine or whatever sounds good. The second leg is the Pena Palace tour, which is quite fascinating on its own, especially if you want to know how royalty lived between the 1500s and 1800s. There are more antiquities and heirlooms in this tour than I've seen in quite some time. If you know what to look for it is obvious that all of the Portugese Elite were deeply involved in the occult as revealed in the architecture, frescos, artwork, and carvings. At the end of the Pena Palace tour be sure to observe the lineage and pedigree charts which reveal (through ommission) an eventual bloodline fusing into the British Monarchy when royalty fled to England in the early 20th Century. That alone is fascinating. My guide, João (John), struck a balance between factual information, speculation, and some key insider info. If you go on this tour, ask for him specifically. Like all of Portugal, wear walking shoes with good support, and be ready for paying attention to detail. If you are looking for mindless activity this is not the tour for you. It is very stimulating and will require a desire for experiencing the most unique tour in all of Southern Portugal.Written December 6, 2024
- Michelle S0 contributionsDo you love to study the Occult? Go to Sintra!we took an uber from Lisbon to Sintra for a quick day trip. No reservations made. We hit a local brewpub, a jewelry shop, and spent hours exploring the Regaleira. I could spend another entire day here. If you enjoy Dan Brown novels and the occult, this one is a deep dive to research.Written December 5, 2024
- shelley0380 contributionsWell worth itThe guides Enish & Myriam were great - very knowledgeable & very friendly. I’ve never done a tour led by an opera singer before & she was amazing. This is definitely a tour that requires some fitness as it involves walking on cobbles & hills - like most of Lisbon too! I’d recommend taking a waterproof and comfortable non slip shoes - the weather at Pena Palace was significantly different to that at Sintra. Well worth a visitWritten November 22, 2024
- E8246QPmaryr0 contributionsExcellent Day in Evora and Reguenos de MonsarazGoncalo was professional, welcoming, interesting, knowledgeable and his love of his home country Portugal was evident throughout the day. Good driver. Highly recommend his tours through TugaTours.Written November 19, 2024
- Moniaits0 contributionsNo guided tour neededA mistake on our part. No guide is needed for this. We could have been unlucky with our guide : he didn’t provide any useful information. Best visit without a guide and experience the castle in that way.Written November 18, 2024
- Waverly T0 contributionsWe had an amazing time!We visited Portugal for our honeymoon and knew that we couldn’t leave before seeing these palaces. This tour, and our guide Silva, was an amazing peek into some of the history and beauty that Sintra has to offer. The tour offered a great mix of interactive guided tours/overview and free time to explore the city, eat breakfast/lunch, and shop. I would highly recommend!Written November 17, 2024
- BoardingPass918190 contributionsI think I said enoughOur host, Miriam was the best thing on the trip. Although the attractions are beautiful and of much historical significance, she brought them to life with her enthusiasm, in depth knowledge and passion for her profession. Oh she also surprised not only us but many other visitors when she broke out in spontaneous operatic melody, much to everyone’s delight. A very talented and lovely lady.Written November 15, 2024
- joshsT7109TM0 contributionsMake like Nike and Just Do ItDid this tour on Saturday. Myriam, our tour guide for Team Sporting Lisbon (this I visited the Estádio da Luz the day before - oops! 😬). She was very knowledgeable about the places that we visited, providing lots of information that would have been lost on me had I visited these places on my own. As I was sorted into team Green, I didn’t have as much interaction with our other tour guide (I apologise but I have forgotten her name). However, from what I did hear, she was equally as knowledgeable and approachable. Myriam also entertained us through her virtuosity with classical singing at places round the Regaleira where such performances would have been conducted. This brought the history of the place to life. The best part was the Regaleira with its fascinating stories, architecture and grounds. It was picturesque from start to finish. Pena Palace was also stunning with its upper courtyard overlooking the forest and ocean through a succession of arches, the multicoloured walls, the vivid stained glass windows and the symbolism in the architecture. If you have to pick between the two then go with the Regaleira. If your budget allows it though, then do this tour. It was the highlight in a holiday of amazing places. Thank you to our tour guides and bus driver for a wonderful experience! To Myriam and our driver, I promise I will give the Jose Alvalade a visit the next time I’m in Lisbon before deciding whether I am red or green 😅Written November 13, 2024
