My good friend Michel and myself (Duco) were having a coffee outside in Sintra, when we noticed Diogo's green vintage Renault with the Mr. Local signage. This peaked our interest, as we only had a day in Sintra, we wanted it to be well spent. And because we arrived by train, we had no transportation. So we asked Diogo about the options, and we agreed on a half-day tour, which turned out to be well spent. Diogo is very passionate about the history of Sintra, and he can tell great stories about the sites we visited with him. After showing us some places in and around Sintra, he took us up the mountain to Pena Palace, and showed us some interesting sites in the gardens around the palace. He used to do excavations there as an archeology student, and had a lot of very interesting information about it. After that he left us to visit the Palácio da Pena on our own, for which we took the time. After that he picked us up again and brought us back to Sintra, and dropped us at his favorite tapas place, where we had a fantastic lunch. I can recommend spending some hours, or even a day with Diogo, as he is a very good and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed it very much!

If you want to do a whirlwind of a Sintra day-trip from Lisbon, choose Diogo! He loves his hometown so much (he is Mr. Local after all) and his passion for the city, the people, the culture, the history is so apparent. Be prepared for a one of a kind tour around a one of a kind city with the most passionate, funny, kind tour guide around. He knows where to find the best tapas, Sintra-special pastries, Sintra craft beer, beach side viewpoints and escapes. Be prepared for folks to be taking your picture as you drive around the picturesque city in an (incredibly comfortable) retro car. Such a blast!!!

Great day with Mr Local Aka Diogo! Felt like an old friend - with a huge amount of knowledge - was taking us around. Thank you!

We had the best tour with Diogo! Prior to our tour he reached out to us and we briefly discussed what we were hoping to get out of the tour. From there he thoughtfully made suggestions and gave tips for buying tickets and such in advance. The day of he promptly met us at the train station in his charming car and showed us a side of Sintra that only a local might know! He was full of information about the history and culture of Sintra, and Portugal in general. As the day went on he tailored the tour to areas he thought might be of interest to us, adding a very personal touch. He kept us entertained and informed the entire time.

In addition to being a wealth of knowledge, he is a fun, passionate, engaging and down to earth person to talk to. After the tour was over, he made suggestions for other places to see around Portugal during the remainder of our vacation and kindly offered to lend a helping hand if we had any more questions.

We highly recommend this tour, it was one of the highlights of our whole honeymoon!

A spectacular experience that we will always remember, Diego is not that typical guide who just wants to get the job done and drop you off, he is an easy going, friendly archeologist who is passionate about providing you with informative tour in Sintra and yet he showed us some hidden gems in his unique car! His English is as perfect as his car’s slide roof. We wanted to stay longer with him, so we asked him to drive us back to Lisbon instead of taking an Uber. Diego, as promised, I will see you again soon in magical Sintra ;)

Diogo was very knowledgeable about the area. He picked us up promptly at the train station and gave us an excellent tour. He dropped us off at the Pena Palace and picked us up at the time agreed. He gave us restaurant recommendations for the area. I highly recommend him for your visit to Sintra.
