Small group is the best

Very crowded area like all the tourist areas these days but very much worth it. Lots of beautiful gardens, I think that was the best part. So many yummy places to eat also, hard to choose. DO the tour of the well if you can! Takes an extra ticket and they do sell out Our guide Èdi was absolutely phenomenal, highly educated and very passionate about history, not just a fact regurgitation. Small group tour is totally the way to go

Fantastic day trip with Filipe!

Our day tour of Sintra was epic and Filipe, our tour guide, had an incredible knowledge of history and was friendly and a wonderful host. I wouldn’t bother with paying for the inside of the palace - the outside and grounds are the best part. Wish we had a little more time in the village of Sintra as the Regaleira takes time to do properly. Highly recommend this tour!

Comprehensive tour of Sintra and Cascais

It’s a pretty comprehensive tour where you get to see the pena palace at Sintra and then they drop you at the city centre at Sintra to explore Regaliara on your own. Also the drive to the last western point of Europe is a pleasurable journey through the villages and the sea. Cabo da Roca and Cascais are enjoyable but the time for these places would be rationed.
