Can anybody please recommend a person (not a company) to lead a couple on a half-day tour of Sintra?
Thanks!

If you can get in with Fernando from Portuguese Chauffeur, I highly recommend him. We did a different tour with him last year (Fatima, Obidos etc) he mentioned that he also did Sinatra tours.
We used Peppe Santagata, Portugal Journeys with Peppe, https://www.portugaljourneyswithpeppe.com/, email: [email protected], telephone: +351937965818, who was recommended by a few of the travelers on this travel forum. He gave us different options on how to spend our day and gave us several recommendations prior to, during and after our excursion on places we could visit on our own, on restaurants, shopping, etc... Peppe picked us up at the door of our flat and took us to Sintra, Peña Palace, Montserrat Palace, Cabo da Roca (westernmost point of continental Europe), where we had lunch overlooking the ocean, then to Cascais and finally back to our flat. Peppe speaks Spanish, Italian, English and Portuguese, knows Portuguese history very well, was very flexible and very knowledgeable about food and wine as well. I've included all his contact information in order to make it easier to find him if needed. I was very appreciative of the other forum participants who shared his contact information, as this was our first trip to Portugal and we needed a lot of guidance.
I would highly recommend Jose from Lisbon on Wheels. I made up a custom itinerary based on what I wanted to see in Sintra. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. We did a full day tour but he probably would be willing to do a half day.
