When a person buys 2...
When a person buys 2 audio guide tickets but only gets one entrance ticket, that’s very wrong. What exactly did I pay for?!? We had to buy a second entrance ticket at the castle.
Operator response

Well worth!
Buying tickets ahead saved us so much time. This was our favorite of the three “big” sites in Sintra. Highly recommended!

Zero.
Tickets we bought through Trip
Advisor were not accepted by the gate attendant. We had to buy new tickets onsite to get in. Gate attendant tried to help us but the Trip Advisor tickets did not allow us the access promised. Our mistake was to buy our tickets through Trip Advisor were.

Afraid of Heights
We absolutely loved this castle, except for the steps. There are a lot of steps. One of us was afraid of heights, so going to the guards' tower was anxiety ridden. A long rocky drop on one side and no rails( we wouldn't expect there to be any) on the other. If you can get over your fear and just do it, the view is spectacular. We carried our 20 month old and watched people struggle with strollers on the cobble stones. Save yourself the trouble and don't bring one. Bring lots of water and maybe a snack. The cafe was being renovated on our visit.

Views for Miles
Fantastic views and cool old castle. Be prepared to walk and climb a lot of stairs. Absolutely not for folks with physical limitations.

BUYER BEWARE - again!
This is a stunning place with steep steps. When we got to the ticket area, the download did not work but the gentlemen were nice enough to admit us anyway. This was our second time giving Viator a chance, and it was just too difficult. Buy from the park website itself. Don’t bother with VIATOR!
Operator response
Dear Kate,
We are glad they let you in, even if you weren't able to download your tickets. This is why we try to emphasize to all of our customers that they need to have downloaded their tickets and audio tours prior to reaching the venue. The email we sent you includes all the details on when and how to download your entrance ticket and audio tour. It's nice to know you enjoyed the venue! Have a great day!
Best regards,
