Moorish castle and Pena visit

Moorish walk is a bit of hike. Pena palace can get crowded quick I would bring snacks or food in case cafe is closed in our case very crowded at Pena with poor selection. Guides were amazing we had Jorge and Diego and they accommodated our large multi generational group with kids. Highly recommend without a guide it would have been hour or more wait to get into Pena

Sintra without crowds: hidden jewels + coastal escape (Family)

Jason_E, Feb 2025

Diogo is the best!

Diogo was amazing. He was so detailed in his description of everything. The trip was very well planned and we saw everything we wanted to see in Sintra. I highly recommend booking this trip. For just a few extra Euros per person we were able to take a private tour instead of joining a big group.

Esmil was our tour guide....

Esmil was our tour guide. He was amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a wonderful experience. Inadvertently discovered that in booking through Viator we paid double the price that we would have paid if we had booked directly with this particular tour company. Disappointed that the mark-up was so high.
