Yes You Deserve Announces Personalized Private Tuk-Tuk Tours Redefining Travel in Sintra Portugal

Yes, You Deserve! brings an elevated, personal approach to travel with exclusive, customized tuk-tuk tours in Sintra, offering travelers a deeper connection to Portugal’s history and culture.

Sintra, Portugal, 3rd Jul 2025 – Sintra, a place of storybook charm and rich historical roots, forms the backdrop for Yes, You Deserve!’s approach to tourism. For Daniel Ponce, Founder and Tour Guide, Sintra is more than a destination—it is home. Having spent over 15 years in hospitality, Ponce observed a void in how travelers engaged with destinations. People were looking for more than cursory sightseeing; they were seeking genuine connection.

Daniel responded to that need by founding Yes, You Deserve!, not just to offer rides through scenic routes but to create personal journeys. What began as a solo endeavor soon grew into a recognized brand, attracting global travelers and garnering praise. Yet, the most crucial part of this evolution has been the creation and training of a dedicated team of local guides.

Trained personally by Daniel, each guide embodies the ethos of authentic hospitality and rich storytelling. Their multilingual skills and in-depth local knowledge enable them to seamlessly tailor each tour, crafting a connection between guest and place. Gustavo and Catarina are the primary guides for Yes, You Deserve! and have become the core figures in creating these transformative experiences.

Crafting Customized Cultural Journeys

At the heart of Yes, You Deserve!’s model lies personalization. Unlike standard tours that follow rigid itineraries, each journey is curated based on the interests, pace, and curiosity of the guest. Whether the traveler desires to explore Sintra’s hidden gems, partake in a vineyard tasting, or delve into the symbolism behind a historic palace, every route is built to inspire connection and curiosity.

This curated flexibility is only enhanced by the depth of the guide team. Each guide brings a unique voice and background, allowing for a multifaceted view of Portugal’s stories and traditions. Guests do not simply visit Sintra—they experience it through a lens shaped by expert guidance and personal warmth.

Tours often include insider access to monuments where guides accompany guests inside, offering historical interpretations beyond what plaques or brochures can provide. This unique element transforms passive sightseeing into immersive engagement.

“It’s Not Just Me—It’s Us”

While Daniel remains a central figure in Yes, You Deserve!’s story, the company’s success is shared across the team. The local guides are chosen not only for their expertise but for their shared passion for people.

“We’ve trained each guide to approach every guest with warmth, professionalism, and an eagerness to share our heritage,” says Daniel. “It’s not just me—it’s us. Our team is the heartbeat of this experience.”

The team’s dynamic knowledge and genuine hospitality regularly earn praise in client reviews. Travelers from around the globe describe the tours as deeply personal, informative, and joyful. The guides’ ability to connect with guests on a human level makes each journey unique.

Awards, Recognition, and Trusted Acclaim

Yes, You Deserve! was recently recognized by LUXlife Magazine as the “Most Unique Tuk Tuk Tour Company in Portugal,” a title that underscores the company’s departure from traditional tourism. This award not only reflects innovation but also validates the contributions of the entire guiding team.

The brand’s international presence also grew following a feature on Good Morning America, where Daniel personally guided anchor Robin Roberts through the enchanting town of Sintra. The segment offered a window into what makes Yes, You Deserve! stand out—not just scenic beauty, but thoughtful storytelling and genuine human connection.

Over 200 five-star reviews consistently commend the team’s approach to service and hospitality. From intimate couples’ getaways to multigenerational family tours, the company’s formula for success is deeply rooted in emotional connection, flexibility, and excellence.

Building Emotional Connections Through Human-Centered Travel

Yes, You Deserve! has built its reputation on creating lasting impressions. The company’s philosophy emphasizes emotional memory over photo opportunities. Every guide is trained to make guests feel not like tourists, but like friends being welcomed into the culture.

This approach is evident in small but powerful moments: a guide recommending a local family-run restaurant, offering a quiet scenic detour based on real-time interest, or sharing lesser-known legends that evoke the soul of the location. These authentic moments are where the brand differentiates itself.

“Our reviews are filled with words like ‘personal,’ ‘unforgettable,’ and ‘felt like family,’” says Daniel. “We are not a tour factory. We are a boutique, human-led company with a heart.”

A Blueprint for Expansion

With Sintra as the flagship destination, Yes, You Deserve! is now preparing to expand across Portugal. Planned locations include Lisbon and the picturesque coastline. Each expansion will continue to focus on the same principles that define the company’s ethos—intimate storytelling, high customization, and warm human connection.

Every new region will see local guides trained to match the exacting standards set in Sintra, ensuring that the integrity of the guest experience is maintained. The aim is not rapid growth, but thoughtful evolution—extending a model of travel that resonates with discerning travelers looking for authenticity.

Redefining the Standard for Private Tours

Yes, You Deserve! stands as a counterpoint to mass-market tourism. Through its award-winning service, curated itineraries, and exceptional team of guides, the company is redefining how private travel should feel. It is not about simply seeing a place, but about being part of it—even if just for a few hours.

For travelers seeking a premium, immersive, and memorable experience in Portugal, Yes, You Deserve! offers a refreshing and heartfelt alternative.
