There is a wide variety of options when booking Sintra private sightseeing trips. Consider how much time you want to spend on your tour. If you are only in Portugal for a few days, a half-day tour might be your best option to maximize your time. Consider whether you'd prefer a private tour and if you need a pickup in Lisbon. Some tours expect you to arrive at Sintra on your own. Not all tours include entrance to Pena Palace.

Read your tour's information for details about suggested attire like walking shoes, as the area around Sintra is uneven with lots of cobblestones. Even if it’s cloudy, pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself while you’re out and about. Sintra often has much cooler weather than Lisbon, and fog is common—a jacket is recommended. Bring snacks and extra water so that you are comfortable throughout your tour.

You can visit Sintra on a private sightseeing tour any time of year. However, consider where you are going and how crowded it might be. Day trips to Sintra in the summer can be impacted by crowds, as the site is popular with tourists. You should consider booking Pena Palace entrance tickets in advance. Traveling in the off-season will run the risk of poor weather, but you won't have to deal with crowds.
