We had a great time! Soria and Nino took great care of us throughout the 9-hour journey! They were always following us with their GPS locator, giving us all kinds of tips, from where to park to what difficulties to avoid and how to correct the route when we took the wrong route. They took great care of us. They were essential to being able to plan the journey successfully! They even lent us a portable cell phone battery charger! In short, great! Bravo!

Electric Car Tour of Sintra

Sintra is a beautiful historic town on the coast of Portugal that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll soon discover why as you explore its wealth of spectacular landscapes by electric car. The route is up to you, so you can tailor your tour to discover nature, architecture, history, or whatever you'd like!

The electric cars are small and easy to drive and park on any street. Whichever route you choose, a built-in navigation system which help you find your way, and an English-language audioguide will reveal fascinating facts and explain the history of each place of interest on the way.

Options

When making your reservation, you can choose between doing a 4-hour tour or a 9.5-hour tour. While you're free to drive wherever you'd like, we recommend following one of the following routes to make the most of your time in Sintra:

Pena Palace & Arab Castle

Discover history and nature on this itinerary: you'll drive up through the Sintra hills to see the hilltop medieval castle known as the Castle of the Moors. Pass by Liberdade Park, the historic center of Sintra, the National Palace, the strikingly beautiful Pena Palace and much more. Lush valleys and impressive palaces await!

Quinta da Regaleira & Sintra Gardens

Immerse yourself in the magic of Portugal's natural landscapes and some of Sintra's most important monuments. Admire the spectacular vegetation and the bridges of Liberdade Park, explore the old town and Monserrate Park, and visit the Natural History Museum. What's more, you'll visit the elegant Quinta da Regaleira, known as the "Palace of Monteiro the Millionaire".

Cabo da Roca & Convent of the Capuchos

Explore Sintra's spiritual side by visiting the historic Convent of the Capuchos and admire the Swiss-style architecture of the Chalet Condessa D'Edla. We also recommend heading to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point in Europe, to enjoy the unparalleled ocean views. This itinerary is designed to reveal the romantic legends and the poets inspired by Sintra.

Pasamos una súper experiencia! Soria y Nino nos atendieron de maravilla a todo lo largo de la jornada de 9 horas! Nos iban siguiendo siempre con su GPS localizador, pasándonos tips de todo tipo, desde dónde estacionar hasta qué dificultades evitar y cómo corregir el camino cuando nos equivocamos de ruta. Nos atendieron estupendamente. Fueron fundamentales para poder planificar la jornada con éxito! hasta nos prestaron un cargador portátil de batería de celular! En resumen, genial! Bravísimoooo!

Buenísima experiencia, nos lo explicaron todo antes de comenzar, el coche se puede aparcar en cualquier sitio ya que es algo casi imposible con un vehículo de tamaño normal. Vas a tu ritmo, sin prisas, te paras cuando quieres parar y el GPS del coche te va explicando todos los monumentos por los que pases. Para nosotros a sido una experiencia nueva y divertida, quedamos muy contentos con los dueños, ya que son muy agradables y serviciales. Nosotros lo recomendamos!! Translate this opinion into English.

Very good experience, they explained everything to us before starting, the car can be parked anywhere since it is almost impossible with a normal size vehicle. You go at your own pace, without rushing, you stop when you want to stop and the car's GPS explains all the monuments you pass. For us it has been a new and fun experience, we are very happy with the owners, since they are very nice and helpful. We recommend it!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Una manera diferente y muy divertida de conocer Sintra y alrededores. El oersonal es muy atento y amable. A tener en cuenta que la descripción de la actividad da a entender que puedes ir a cualquier sitio con el coche, pero realmente está sujeto a las normas del tráfico normal, salvo ciertas excepciones. Nosotros, por ejemplo, no pudimos llegar al centro de Sintra ni al Palacio da Pena. Pero aun así, merece la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

A different and fun way to get to know Sintra and its surroundings. The staff is very helpful and friendly. To take into account that the description of the activity implies that you can go anywhere with the car, but it is really subject to the normal traffic rules, with certain exceptions. We, for example, could not reach the center of Sintra or the Palacio da Pena. But still, it's worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.
