The SMILE TOURS is a tour company with charisma and the proximity to the tourist idea for involving local people.
The SMILE TOURS , intended to be in addition to a travel agency one proximity company. With SMILE TOURS ,
I would like to make known our country , culture, landscapes, gastronomy, wines, but above all the " true " and the beautiful people of Portugal .
The larger incision point of SMILE TOURS , will be in Sintra, where I intend to create alternative tours with different experiences.
However , I will not only make tours in Sintra , and I intend to carry out tours around the country if customers so desire .
I will work in partnership with the small trade ( merceirias , restaurants , artezanais fairs, small farmers , ect .. ) in order to stimulate
and spread our products and the local economy.
The idea is to be more than a travel agency , it is to be a friend and a link between the tourist and the local people .
