Top Sintra Bus Tours

Highly recommend visitors go to Sintra & Peña Palace. Sintra is a historic town with palaces, gardens, and it was an easy half day out from Lisbon. Maragarida our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, very enthusiastic & entertaining. As a bonus, she takes great photos! She made the day that much better.

This was an amazing and enjoyable experience. A big shout-out to our tour guide, Bart (not Alex 😆). He definitely made the tour fun, informative, and very entertaining. This was just enough time to explore, wonder around Sintra, and grab some food. Made new friends and created great memories.

We would totally recommend this tour! We would never have seen Sintra, Cascais and Cape Roca if we hadn’t scheduled this tour from Lisbon. And it was one of our best days! Our guide Bruno, was amazing. He knew everything about Sintra, and got us around in the tourist traffic like a pro. He had bottles of water in his car, got us amazing pastries while we visited one site, gave us the history of the sites we visited, and even took pictures of our group while we were descending into the Initiation Well. Our only complaint, if we had one, was that the tour flew by too quickly and we had to make some tough choices about what to see. The traffic from Lisbon to Sintra (you are travelling both ways during rush hour) is bad and it took an hour each way. We rushed through Pena Palace and Regaleira in the morning and could have spent more time in each, but knew we wanted to have lunch in Cascais. Cape Roca is something we would normally like and are glad we made the stop, but it was overrun with busloads of tourists, all climbing over the fences to get photos on the cliffs, or trampling the plants to find room for photos without other tourists in the shot. I think we will go back and stay in Cascais sometime, and use it as a base to discover the area in more detail because it really deserves more than a one-day trip, but this tour was a great taste of the area.
