What are people saying about Sintra

Stuart_R, Jun 2026

Excellent full day tour of Sintra sights and coast

We were skeptical about doing a guided tour for Sintra. My wife and I were going to go on our own via train/bus. But then I read the reviews that spoke so highly of Bruno, and thought it would be nice not to have to worry about any logistics. Turned out there was a transit strike on the day of our tour. So it sure is a good thing we didn’t try to go on our own. Bruno picked us up on time and offered us options to customize the day. I think we ended up doing the standard grouping of activities, and it worked out very well. We saw so much! Being on a private tour all day with someone has the possibility to be weird if you don’t like the tour guide. This was not an issue at all. Bruno is so nice and welcoming and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our time with him. He’s great at his job, and seems like an overall great person. We are very happy we did this tour with him, as we learned a lot and saw a lot - with some short periods of time mixed in to explore the town of Sintra and Cascais on our own. Beautiful! And easy! Don’t overthink it, leave it all to Bruno, see all the highlights, and have a great time.

Wonderful Sintra Tour and Guide

We had an excellent day touring Sintra with our guide, Ricardo. He picked us up right in front of our VRBO and took us to several incredible stops, including Sintra, Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais. Ricardo was raised in Sintra and knew all the history and efficient routes. The vehicle, a Mazda 5, worked well for four people. It was a little underpowered at times, but overall it was comfortable enough and effective for the day. Ricardo took us to a local restaurant that was excellent, well priced, and not crowded. Going to this restaurant also allowed us to get dropped off right in front of Quinta da Regaleira afterwards, which was a huge time saver. From there, the Initiation Well was just a short walk up, making that part of the visit much easier and more convenient. Quinta da Regaleira did require us to buy a ticket, which we purchased on the way. However, because it is such a popular and busy site, the time slot we needed was nearly sold out. I would definitely recommend planning this in advance with your guide, especially if Regaleira is high on your list. I would also recommend coordinating with your guide ahead of time if you already know the places you want to visit. That way, they can help plan the day as efficiently as possible. The monuments around Sintra are spread out and can be difficult to access if you do not know the area, so having a guide made a big difference. In my opinion, a guide is the best way to make the most of your time, get the most out of the experience, and avoid a lot of potential frustration. This was a memorable and very worthwhile day trip. Thanks Ricardo!

Guide went Above & Beyond!

Our tour guide, Sonia, went ABOVE and BEYOND. There were accidents on the highway after she picked us up; she took alternative routes and communicated with other guides to ensure our tickets would still be honored (because they are at set times for some monuments). She was charasmatic, knowledgeable and an absolute professional. We can't recommend this tour with this company enough!

Best Tour Guide Ever

I’ll start by saying I’ve generally had middling experiences with tour guides. Often they can be too heavy handed, too serious, too tedious. But all I can say is Medhi is far and away the best guide I’ve ever had. He drove us around the beautiful mountainside of Sintra for over 9 hours, taking us to every major site, and explaining the rich history and hidden lore of each place we visited with passion, humor, and intrigue. We came away from this experience far more knowledgeable than when we went in, and in the process by the end we felt like we made a close friend. If you’re looking for a guide on your trip through Portugal, I would not book anyone else. Thank you Medhi for the truly special experience! Highly highly recommend.

Perfect amount of tour time!

This tour is truly an adventure in learning about the culture and history, experiencing the details of the castle and palace, while viewing the landscape of nature and the cities. This tour permits a very personalized feel and allows for specific questions to be answered easily. Our group of four gals differed in abilities to walk up the hills. Rodrigo was so encouraging and gave options so that each in our group could be accommodated. Private tours are just more comfortable all around. I highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky enough to have Rodrigo, you’re guaranteed to enjoy the tour as much us!

Must do

After a snafu with the front office we had a great time. There was some miscommunication about start times initially. Once our guide showed up it was smooth sailing. It is. Wry pretty in Sintra. The palace is a must see. Be aware there is lots of traffic and there are a lot of people. Also, bring a sweatshirt!

My husband and I and...

My husband and I and another couple had a lovely tour of Sintra with Leo. He lived in the community and his pride and love for the area was obvious. Leo included a tour of some of the neighborhoods so we got a feel for living in the area and it wasn’t just a churches and monuments flyby. Great afternoon.

A Short Stopover in Sintra!

We stopped in Sintra between stays in Coimbra and Lisbon. We did not have much time but hired Caio for a private tuk tuk tour. Caio picked us up right by the train station, took care of storing our luggage, and gave us a great tour of the area. We saw the gorgeous vegetation, the castles and the coastal area. Caio was knowledgeable, kind and paid attention to our schedule. He also made the extra effort to get our luggage and us back to the train station on time. Highly recommend this private tour with Caio!

Pena Palace and alot more

We had a great day with Bruno as our guide. He went out of his way to make our day special which included a beautiful birthday cake and birthday surprises for our youngest traveler who celebrated her ninth birthday today. I would highly recommend his tour. It was such a perfect day. His experience as a tour guide and love for Portugal especially Sintra gave us special insight to the area and culture.

I recommend starting early in the Tesla with Francisco to avoid the crowds. He asked our interests so we had a customized itinerary with plenty of walking, gardens, delicious pastries and lunch, and a variety of palaces. A superb day trip from Lisbon! So gorgeous! Francisco is a safe and knowledgable drive and patient and enthusiastic with all of our questions. Very kind and mellow soul.

Marta was the best tour guide and made our day the best day of our trip

This tour was amazing. Marta was an amazing guide, I would definitely request her. The sites were beautiful and my 11 year old twins had the best day. She was so good with them always engaging them. She even climbed up towers with them bc we couldn’t due to injuries. She helped me walk and brought the car for us. Highly recommend
