A fabulous visit!
Fransisco was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and informative. He was very patient with my creaky old knee and we made it all the way to the top of the castle!!
He also knows all the tricks to eliminate time in line at the palace, which was amazing! Thank you for a great afternoon.

A fantastic day on a private tour to Sintra, Moorish Castle, and Pena Palace
Danilo was a fantastic tour guide taking us to Sintra, the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace! He explained the history and gave us the inside story on many of the statues, paintings and artifacts which made the day more enjoyable. He directed us to the best photo spots and was very patient with our group. A private tour is the way to go and ask for Danilo!

Great place to see when we are young enougj
pluses. on time. Great pick up service. good knowledge. minus...time. labeled as 4.5 to 5h but ours would have been 6.5 or so if we didn't trim out the inside pena castle part. just so you all know its a ton of walking. no problem at our age of 60 but beware.

Great tour
Great trip. Beautiful sites. Francisco was wonderful guide. One note moorish castle and hike to Pena palace require lots of climbing on steep steps. But the views are incredible. Highly recommend

Excellent Tour and Guide!
Danilo was much more than your typical tour guide. He was so friendly, engaging, and flexible that it felt like a friend who was giving us the tour. The breadth of his knowledge of Sintra and the palaces was truly astounding. From the history of each location to the botanicals surrounding us, it was amazing. If you get a chance to have him as your guide count yourself lucky!!

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.

This was so fun....
This was so fun. Francisco was a great tour guide. He was very informative and knew all the tricks to getting us to the right places at the right time. This also took the stress out of having to figure out the logistics of getting up the mountain to the palace and castle. Enjoyable experience all around.
