“Catia exceeded our expectations for this tour! The car was adorable and still comfy. I thought we’d get dropped at places and told when to come back to the car. This was so much better than that! Catia knows and loves Sintra. We saw SO much more than we could have on our own. She balanced sharing history of what we were seeing, with general knowledge and recommendations in the area. She doubled as an excellent photographer at each spot. I can’t recommend this tour, and her, enough!”
