A Different Way to Experience Sintra
Villa Tours was co-founded by Victoria, who personally welcomes guests and helps design each self-drive experience.
What inspired you to create this type of service?
"Sintra is full of beautiful places — palaces, forests, hills and scenic roads — but visiting them often means following tight schedules or joining crowded tours.
We created Villa Tours to offer a different way to explore Sintra: a self-drive experience where guests can discover the region at their own pace. Driving a compact electric car designed for two is already part of the adventure, but what truly completes the experience is the local guidance we provide.
We help our guests plan their route, choose the best places to visit, know where to park, where to eat and how to make the most of their time in Sintra — combining freedom with thoughtful support."
What makes this experience unique?
"There are many ways to visit Sintra, but none offer the same balance of freedom, comfort and personalization.
Our guests enjoy full autonomy while driving their own electric car, combined with a carefully planned experience adapted to their interests and pace. With our route suggestions and ongoing support, they are often surprised by how much they can see and enjoy in a single day — without feeling rushed.
The most rewarding part for us is seeing the smiles at the end of the experience and later reading the reviews. Guests often tell us they didn’t expect to enjoy Sintra this much, and that is exactly what Villa Tours is about."
At Villa Tours, our goal is simple: to help you experience Sintra with freedom, comfort and unforgettable memories.
