      Best day with the absolute most incredible guide, João!
      The absolute best tour my wife and I have ever been on. João is such an incredible person with such a passion for his city and country. You could truly tell he enjoyed what he does and went the extra mile to make sure we had the best day ever (olive oiiill! - those who know, know! Haha) João, thank you for being the kindest human we have come across in a long time. We loved the entire tour and look forward to messaging you when we are back in Lisbon. For all that are considering this tour, just do it - you’ll be so happy!!

      One of the best experiences of my life
      This was honestly the best tour I have had in my whole life. It’s a journey into the real heart and soul of Portugal. and so many surprises along the way. João, our guide, is knowledgeable, friendly, wise, and deeply passionate about his country’s land, people, culture, and future. He helps you expand your perspective to understand things about Portuguese culture that you otherwise might not be exposed to. This trip quite honestly changed my life. I can’t recommend it enough. This tour guide company is everything I want to see more of in Portugal. Locals having a say in the direction of tourism in their country, and socially and environmentally responsible tourism that promotes a different and healthier way of being in a place.

      Best day trip in Arrabida!
      Do not hesitate to book the Arrabida tour with Duarte and his team - "Keep It Local Tours". You will just simply have the most memorable day of your time in Portugal and leave with stories to tell for years to come. Navigating from beach, to cave, beautiful views, fish market, delicious bakery, to a wonderful ending at a wine tasting tour. Couldn't imagine this tour being better with anyone else. Would 100% recommend.

      Wow! First of all-Duarte, what a guy. This guy is just amazing he is funny, caring and humble. He really cares and does all the things to make the trip as good as possible. If you are going to Lisbon this trip got to be mandatory. I’m lost for words, thank you

      Thank you for this amazing day!
      If you want to have an amazing day in Portugal I really recommend you Keepitlocaltours! We had Duarte and he was the best guide I ever had ! He was so friendly, me and my sister had the feeling he was already part of the family :) I think we had also luck because our group was awesome! But we saw incredible secret places that we never tought we would be able to see in Portugal! Where we were less lucky is that it rained practically all day, and even so Duarte managed to make this a special and unforgettable day! I never tought a day could get this magical even with that much rain so I really thank him for that :) Duarte will also tell you everything he knows about all what you're going to see and it was really interesting. And the little surprise at the end was really amazing and kind! Even if we actually had a lot of other surprises during the whole tour !! So if you are not sure which tour to choose if there are too many choose Keepitlocaltours, even if it rains you will spend the best of days :)

      The best! Made our trip
      I can’t say enough good things about Duarte and the rest of the team. We were in Lisbon from Canada for a friend’s wedding and had our previous tour guide from another company cancel last minute .... but thank god they did (since this tour could not have been better). They really make you feel at home and comfortable and modified the trip on the fly for what we wanted to see. Extremely energetic and outgoing guides who will go the extra mile (and then some) to make sure you get the most of your time in Lisbon. Amazing tour!

      Awesome Tour!
      This tour was well worth the money. We hit a ton of spots and our tour guide, Bernardo was awesome. The tours are small and since we were in a small group anyway, it ended up being a private tour. The lunch at the small restaurant was one of the best I had in Portugal.

      Simply Amazing Day in Sintra
      I’ve taken many tours in the places I’ve visited and this was by far the best. Duarte made everyone feel like a local for a day. My whole family enjoyed every aspect of the day from the conversation & the stories to the palace to the beach and def the local road we took. A tour I would Def take again.

    Duarte provided an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience - so much so that I am going to write a novel of a review.

    His communication via the AirBnb app was terrific. He picked up me and the other guests in his company’s van in a very accessible location in downtown Lisbon. He even provided a booster seat for the 10-year-old child who was with us. When he was running late, he made a point to let us know so we were not just stranded ducks waiting aimlessly.

    When we arrived at Quinta de Regaleira, it was raining terribly. He provided umbrellas, ponchos, AND spare rain jackets. He had insightful knowledge all throughout the palace tour and always asked if any of us wanted him to take pictures of us in front of the especially picturesque spots.

    He brought us to his beautiful village in Sintra where he REALLY went out of his way to make us feel special. He brought us to a lunch spot with amazing food that was so ridiculously affordable. He made sure to introduce us to local drinks and snacks. He stopped on the road multiple times to teach us about local flora. We even met his childhood dog!!!!!!

    I would have loved to spend maybe 15 more minutes each at Praia da Adraga and Cabo da Roca. However, this is an experience I will be talking about for the rest of my life. This man is severely undercharging the experience he provides; PLEASE TIP HIM.

    Also, I will gladly be sharing photos once my film is developed!

    INCREDIBLE TOUR!! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Lisbon! Duarte is an exceptional tour guide, and his local knowledge and passion for Sintra made this tour special. Relative to other tours I have been on, this one really had a local vibe. Sintra is a beautiful city, with forests, beaches, cliffs, and palaces… all of which you get to see on this tour. The pit stops along the way to a local restaurant, a café for a drink, and a couple of other fun surprises really rounded out the tour.

    In addition to giving us an amazing tour, I asked Duarte about rental car options in Lisbon and he went so far as to book a car for me to travel to the Algarve. He was able to book the car at 1/3 of the price I was looking at paying through some of the larger rental car companies. He really went above and beyond what I would have ever expected from our guide. The next time I’m in Lisbon I will definitely be booking another tour with him (either another tour to Sintra or the Wild Beach tour that he leads).

    Every now and again one experiences a truly unique and wonderful day while traveling and my tour of Sintra with João and #KeepItLocalTours was exactly that. Far surpassing my expectations, especially having been to Sintra before, there simply is nothing like seeing this beautiful part of the world with such a kind, optimistic, knowledgeable and cool guide like João. I am grateful for the immense amount of information he taught me and the engaging, personalized manner in which he ensured I learned it such as the quiz as we drove back to Lisbon. There just isn’t another tour out there that imparts so much cultural knowledge while keeping the entire day fun, interactive, and full of surprises like the “challenge” at the last stop, which leads to an incomparable view of what makes Sintra so special. João was so patient with me asking him so many nerdy questions about the Portuguese language and he knew exactly how to help me understand it, which for me is huge, being a language teacher and finding this one of the best ways to understand the local culture and forge lasting relationships as opposed to surface-level tourism. We had such great conversations over amazing food—best tuna steak and potatoes of my life at a family restaurant—and João even stuck around for a beer with me at his friend’s fantastic craft beer taproom, Oitava Colina, complete with one Lisbon’s unbelievable views. It was both of our first time having a beer outdoors during this difficult pandemic and it was one for the ages. Because of this tour I now feel connected to Portugal more than ever and will be extending my time here just so I can see more of the country and do another experience with these guys. I was a bit hesitant to do a tour during a pandemic but because tourism is slower, I ended up having a private tour and everywhere we went was easy to abide by the 2-meter rule and it made everything even more enjoyable. Of course, João runs a tight ship with frequent antibacterial gel cleaning and mask-wearing. I realize I am very lucky to have been able to relocate to Lisbon for the summer but if you are here, too, and want an unforgettable experience while staying safe, I highly recommend this experience. Até já, João and #KeepItLocalTours!

    We had a great day last month touring Sintra with Marta. She was very upbeat and knowledgeable.

    The itinerary has a great variety of beautiful places and our teenagers were never bored. We also stopped for some great local pastries, which was the perfect way to end the day.

    The lunch is not included, but for a fixed price of 15 euros per person, we went to a petiscos (portuguese version of tapas) restaurant where we were served an amazing lunch. I have several food allergies and they went out of their way to accomodate this and make sure I had plenty to eat.

    There is so much to see and do in Sintra, I wish this company would offer a second different day trip so we could could go back again and visit different palaces with them next time we are in Lisbon.

    We had so much Keep It Local Tours! The Sintra Tour was a great experience and I’d highly recommend booking this tour. Our tour guide, Duarte, was so much fun and one of the best tour guides I’ve had. He was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about Portugal. I’m impressed with how much he knows, he knew facts about Portugal that I don’t even know about my home state/country such as Portugal’s top exports. Overall it was great day :)

    Wow. I literally have no words! What an epic experience we had with João today. We had an absolutely magical day visiting Regaleira Palace and also learning about the history. Sintra is so so so beautiful! So much to see and so much to do. We visited small villages and also had a very delicious meal for lunch in a local restaurant (very affordable)!!! We also visited multiple beaches (photos attached)!

    Cabo da Roca - I honestly cannot describe how beautiful this place was! You just have to see it to believe it.

    João also gave us multiple surprises along the way (that’s best to keep it secret - you have to do the tour to find out)!!!

    We can’t wait to come back. Thank for you making today worth our while. We are over the moon! Muito obrigado 😘

    Amazing experience! Team does its job great, very interesting locations you wouldn't usually get alone. I had two excursions with them and both were super exciting. They interact with each member of a tourist group and make us feel involved. They share interesting facts about country and culture, turning them into exiting memorable impressions. I am very appreciate for these two days we had together. Cheers!

    Joao was our guide for the Sintra Tour and he had so much knowledge and passion about this site and more. He took us to all the cool places, told us about the cool picture spots and truly went above and beyond to give us the complete experience and make sure we had a great day. He even offered his jackets to keep us warm when ours got wet from the rain.

    This trip was amazing. It gives you the overview of the Sintra that you would most probably never get by doing it yourself. The host was very knowledgeable and helpful, we bored him with all sorts of questions, also unrelated to Sintra, and he was so friendly and gave us a lot of great tips. At the end this turned out to be the best part of the visiting Lisbon, would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Lisbon.

    Brilliant from start to finish. Having a spare day sprung on me, I looked to spend it exploring. I contacted the company at 10pm the night before and had it all sorted within half an hour. I turned up at 9am to be greeted by the legend that is Joao sporting a moustache themed face mask. We were in a small group and were taken on an incredibly detailed and interesting tour with the highlight being the castle in Sintra. João is a wonderful host, he can’t do more to accommodate you and ensure you have a great day. As an added bonus the driving is phenomenal and if you wanted to explore Sintra having an experienced driver is a must.

    You won’t be disappointed!
