To get to the steep slope constructed by the Baron of Eschwege that leads to the castle-like structure, one must travel via the eastern portion of the Park of Pena. The palace itself is divided into two wings: the 19th-century wing constructed by King Ferdinand II and the former Manueline monastery of the Order of St. Jerome. A third architectural component, a fanciful representation of an imaginary castle with walkable walls that includes battlements, watchtowers, an entrance tunnel, and even a drawbridge, encircles these wings.

Pedro was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and speaks English very well. Meeting point just outside Sintra Center offers greater chance for parking and the van ride included with the tour brings you straight to the Pena Palace entry gate.

Thanks to Miguel for our wonderful day trip in Sintra

Here is the organized version of your review, keeping your original tone and wording: It was good to book this trip as we had jetlag and couldn't get up by noon. We started our trip at 1pm with Miguel. Miguel was a very patient and gentle guy. He explained many things, organized the timing and route very well, and is good at communication. My kids were sick and he arranged for them to rest at the guard. However, when the kids asked to see what I visited with Miguel, Miguel patiently explained the sites to them again—I was very moved by his patience. In the evening, he took us to Azenhas do Mar, and the kids were thrilled by the strong waves there (a wonderful place to go in Sintra!). Miguel told us to stay as much as we wanted even though it's been passing 8 hours. I compensated the hours passed, but by my own willingness. I really appreciated that he just wished us to enjoy our precious encounter with the amazing ocean. His patience and thoughtfulness left us a wonderful memory in Sintra.

Best tour of Sintra and Cascais!

Miguel, Pedro and Katherine were amazing guides! They led our group of 16 through the palaces of Sintra and kept us engaged with the history and interesting stories. They went out of their way to meet the needs of the group, even took us to the beach and dinner in Cascais! I would highly recommend!

Sintra half day tour

Absolutely the best tour guide we have had on a 14 day Mediterranean Cruise. Joao Salvador Cunha went above and beyond for an incredible journey through Sintra and the coast. Private tour just my wife and I and a very reasonable price. Unlike other tours where you receive 20 minutes free time to walk around, Joao gave us two hours to tour the Biester Estate and grounds and the town of Sintra. The estate tour is fairly new and the tourists don’t flock there. Self guided tour and you feel like you’re the only ones there. It was the 5 hour half day tour where we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Lisbon. Ask for Joao to be your driver/guide; the best choice you will ever make for a tour!!

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.

Fabulous Day with Ricardo

We could not have asked for a more perfect day exploring Sintra, Cabo de Roca, and Cascais with Ricardo! He was a delight to get to know and took us around Sintra like a true local. We loved getting to know him and will definitely rebook with him when we return to Portugal!

Sintra is a must do activity

You can hit all the main attractions in a half day tour of sintra. The tour guide was great and gave us lots of tips and expert background on each location. Make sure to buy tickets to the castles ahead of time to save time and get the best time slots as they sell out fast. Even if you don’t get tickets to enter the castles, they are enjoyable enough from the outside and you still get to see amazing views. Also gave us the inside scoop on the best places to eat while in Portugal. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

Private tour in Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais. Wonderful day.

Excellent experience! We...

Excellent experience! We loved this tour. It was highly customizable and we were able to go and do only what we wanted to in the moment. Our guide, Ginar, was very knowledgeable about the history, vegetation, and current affairs of the region. He gave us excellent recommendations and steered us clear of the “traps” where there were lengthy waits for little reward. We had a truly wonderful day. I cannot recommend this tour more!
