Sintra Full Day Private Tour: Incluindo Pena Palace + Regaleira

It was a very nice walk, a great experience; the treatment from Paolo the guide was extraordinary, he made our trip extraordinary! The quality of the vehicle is good and the places they took us to are beautiful.

Alberto our tour guide/driver was an amazing person. He was very friendly and knowledgeable was took us to many stunning places. Sintra is very hilly place and can be very challenging for some people but it’s a must to do while in Portugal. We absolutely loved it.

Diego was awesome. We are pretty good at navigating public and private transportation systems but it was really nice having a pickup at our Airbnb and a direct drop off at the site. In addition, at the Pena palace, Diego knew everyone working there and quickly guided us through to the most important sections and showed us some neat Easter eggs that we would never have noticed without him and made it just perfect length for our family of five. We would have had not nearly as nice of an experience if we were doing it on our own even though we are fairly comfortable doing things by ourselves. If you're on the fence between doing it yourself or having this private tour I would 100% recommend going for the tour as it will be a much more relaxing and enjoyable day, while at the same time learning a lot more important and interesting history about Portugal and the sites.

Diego, the tour guide was exceptional. Asked for him if you’re in Lisbon. You really don’t want to miss this tour.

Fabio was outstanding! His blend of knowledge, history, humor, patience and his willingness to cater the tour to accommodate our preferences was unmatched. He also has an excellent eye for photography and captured many amazing photos of my family. Did I mention he was patient? 😃 He took us to some amazing sites. He was a very skilled driver and helped us bypass the crowds on several occasions. He also allowed us to explore when we wanted and made some excellent food recommendations along the way. I would highly recommend the all-day Sintra tour with Fabio! 5 stars all the way around.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our tour guide, Felipe, was or how incredible this tour turned out to be. Not only is Felipe exceptionally knowledgeable about Portugal’s history, but he’s also an amazing photographer. He went above and beyond to make sure we captured beautiful photos at every stop that truly looked like we had the places all to ourselves. He even took us to a peaceful, secluded beach for lunch and drove us around Cascais, sharing the history and unique character of each town along the way. Every part of the day felt thoughtful, relaxed, and personalized. For my teenagers to finish the tour and say, “That was an amazing tour,” tells you everything you need to know. We would absolutely recommend Swingo and specifically Felipe to anyone visiting Portugal.

Went on a tour to Sintra and surrounding regions. We had pre booked tickets for quick entry into castles which is a big help. Our tour guide Philipe made the day flow smoothly, like a friend showing us his favourite sites, we had a great laugh. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Sintra and Portugals history. Would highly recommend booking Philipe for your next tour

Teresa was an amazing guide. Highly recommend her

First time in Portugal and wanted to try a private tour. I believe we hit the jackpot with Diogo! He picked us up at out hotel right at 9am having confirmed the night before. We discussed before hand what we would like to see. Trying to optimize weather conditions in the Sintra Mountains, Diogo had a customized tour for us that included the Monserrate Palace and Botanical Gardens, the westernmost point of Europe in Portugal (Cabo da Roca), and the Pena Palace. It was an amazing combination of both arcitechural and environmental experiences. All of the different places were puntuated with Diogo's vast knowledge of history. There is also a bit of storyteller in him which made for a very pleasurable day.

Fantastic experience and tour with Diogo!! He really made our time spent in Lisbon really worth it. We had a lot of free time to explore the different sites. Made it a unique experience for us. 11/10 would recommend.
