Tour di Sintra con Palazzo Pena e Regaleira Tutti i biglietti inclusi

Communication prior to trip was good. Andre (our guide and company owner) was great. Picked us up as scheduled and made the 8 people on tour feel comfortable. His English is great and he is a wealth of knowledge about Pena Palace a Quinta da Regaleira. He had our tickets and we did lot have to wait in line. Learned a lot about both places. Made reservations for lunch so we could bypass another line. Visiting Sintra is not logistically easy and this is not a trip I would not organize on your own. Well worth it and had a great experience.

When we signed up for “Portuguese For a Day Tours,” we heard it was the best tour company in all of Portugal; but we didn’t know the company would live up to their title and make it a reality for us. The moment our tour guide Filipa Loulé arrived, it was immediately clear to us that we were in good hands. She greeted us like family and cared for us in similar fashion. For the next eight hours–no matter where our six-member group originated–we were Portuguese for a day. Filipa made sure of it. We drove up to Sintra and began our tour at Pena Palace and Regaleira. Due to the microclimates, it was a little cooler at the palace grounds in the morning than it was near our hotel; but, of course, Filipa was prepared with fresh windbreakers for each of us. That’s an example of the detailed level of care she provided, and it only grew from there. She is a wealth of information including the sites, the history, and–equally important to us–the best places and foods to eat. Her “Mama Bear” approach ensured that no obstacles stood in our way. The only thing Filipa couldn’t control was the weather; but it too must have been paying attention, because the day quickly warmed up for us. There are many tours for Sintra, Pena Palace and Regaleira (we saw them in our dust); but if fun, knowledge, delicious local food, and world-class experience are your goal, you need to sign up with “Portuguese For a Day Tours.” Filipa and her carefully curated dream team don’t know how to disappoint.

An absolutely outstanding tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and went far above and beyond to take care of everyone, providing thoughtful, personalized service that exceeded all expectations. This was one of the best guided tours we've ever experienced, and we highly recommend it.

Good use of time, comfortable car, small group, knowledgeable guide, great lunch recommendation- even made reservation!

Andres was absolutely wonderful. He has the perfect personality and temperament to lead a tour. He is obviously passionate about his country and knows all the best places to eat and enjoy Sintra. Choose this team and experience the sites without worrying about tickets or time slots. It really makes a big difference to go with someone who knows how to navigate the village and stay ahead of the crowds!

We did a full Day Sintra tour with Filipa. It was an extraordinary place and Filipa Was a top-tier guide. She made excellent recommendations. She had excellent historic context. She was very easy to talk to as well and receptive to questions. Highly recommend.

It was a truly perfect trip with Felipa being an amazing guide. She had us be the first to enter at our first stop with Pena Palace to ourselves for magnificent photos and time to explore. The rest of the visits were equally pleasurable and our guide was very attentive with great recommendations for snacks and lunch. Her knowledge and expertise made this a great experience.

The weather is not in your control but in our case in was perfect. You need to be in decent shape to take the walk up but certainly worth it. Great guide and experience.

Our family had a wonderful tour of Sintra with Filipa! She was extremely knowledgable about the sites and area, very patient and engaging with our kids (ages 6, 10 and 12), and had all the details very streamlined to help us have the best day. We highly recommend this tour!
