Lisboa : Visita guiada de medio día a Sintra con entradas al Palacio de Pena

We enjoyed our trip. Big shout out to our guide Rodrigo, he was pleasant, patient and friendly. We travelled with a toddler and he was beyond patient and went above our expectations. Thank you Rodrigo. The palace is beautiful and the tour was informative.

Great tour! Our guide Rodrigo was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was easy to coordinate and communicate with. Half day was the perfect length of time to see the pena palace, take pictures and enjoy the sites and scenes of sintra without being too cumbersome.

Daniel was absolutely fantastic and made our trip an unforgettable experience! He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and flexible, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group had a great time. He showed us the best spots, took plenty of wonderful pictures of our group of friends, and constantly kept an eye out for what we needed. He even helped navigate alternative routes for those in our group who weren’t able to handle the steep climbs—while giving me a great workout in the process! 😂 What really stood out was how attentive and personable Daniel was. He made us laugh, shared his knowledge, and somehow managed to make the entire experience feel effortless and fun. Daniel was truly the best guide we could have asked for. **Highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing experience and a guide who genuinely cares about his guests.** **Best travel experience ever!** Obrigado thank you

We had an amazing day and our guide Diogo was so knowledgeable. He made the experience all the better with his knowledge and past experience as a TukTuk driver. We had so much fun with him!

We had a wonderful day with Julio! He is very knowledgeable, passionate about Sintra, and funny!

Comments about the organizer: This tour is a great way to maximize your time. Between the transportation, parking, and timed entry tickets it’s quite a logistical mess. This tour arranges all that for you. Our guide deftly managed our time and positioning to always be in the right time and place to keep us moving. That was especially needed since we visited on a very busy Sunday. We did this as a cruise ship excursion. Originally we were to meet at the Hard Rock Cafe which was 2-3km from the ship. Carlos messaged on WhatsApp that he could pick us up from the port directly. So that was a much appreciated convenience. He also managed the time to ensure we didn’t miss our ship’s departure. About the tour: The first stop was the Pena Palace. There’s quite a bit of hilly walking involved. I’d say that the best part was actually the outdoor terraces. You can enjoy the ornamentation, tiles work, and viewpoints from the terraces. There is a timed entry tickets to the interior of the palace. If you were pressed with time I’d say that’s something you could skip. Carlos entrained us throughout with stories of the various royal intrigues associated with the palaces. The next stop was the Quinta de Regaleira. Apparently not every tour selects that option. The site is a labyrinth of constructed tunnels, turrets, and fountains. There was Masonic/Telmplar/illuminati symbols everywhere— some overt, some subtle. I imagine it’s what you’d get if Disneyland made a “Da Vinci Code” attraction. Carlos brought it to online by narrating the (supposed) Masonic secret rituals initiates would endure. The final stop was a drop off to spend about 45 minutes in the historic city center. That was just enough time to get a quick taste of pastries. It was tasty to be sure. But overall the city center was crowded and touristy with nowhere to sit and enjoy our pastry in comfort. Lisbon has quite an eclectic collection of architectures brought in from all over Europe. Sintra even more so. Carlos helped us to understand the history of how each piece came to be. He also had a wealth of knowledge about the flora covering the mountain. Carlos was a great guide who adapted to the needs and interests of his clients. I appreciated how he would help us to take photos amidst all the crowds.

Amazing day today with Diogo! He was so helpful and informative. We had such a great tour!

Francisco was awesome. He was a very safe driver. He knew all the ins and the outs of Pena Palace and helped us make the best use of our time there. This tour was worth every penny. We also had a nice experience in Sintra tasting the Ginja cherry liqueur. Six stars out of five.

Excellent experience. Booking communication was great as was contact prior to the trip. Our guide Esmil was great, very knowledgeable and took us away from crowds of Pena Palace which was great. Definitely recommend this company.

Rodrigo was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, passionate about the country and his job. Informative and very friendly and courteous. He couldn’t have done a better job.
