Join us for an unforgettable day of adventure, laughs and local legends.

This will not be the usual 1h30 tour. It is meant for curious people who want to learn absolutely everything there is to know about a place. In 3 hours, maybe more, I will describe in detail not just the cultural and historic context, and all the people involved in creating Regaleira, but also about Portuguese mysticism and beliefs, Greek mythology, esoteric practices, ancient religious orders, misconceptions about the free masons, the Romantic movement and Botany. Few guides talk about plants, but Regaleira is not just the Palace and the Initiation Well, it is a Romantic Park. Many of its trees and other plants have amazing stories that deserve to be told, hopefully sparking the curiosity to learn more about the natural world. And because they come from all corners of the planet, it is like taking a planetary journey in just a few hectares. Lastly, I’m really thrilled to meet new people, I'm passionate about sharing what I know and I truly wish to enrich their experience of Sintra.

With our Pena Palace Guided Tour you will be able to access the palace skipping the huge line directly through a separate entrance. Our guide will take you back in time and Here's a small story before your experience. Before King Ferdinand II turned the idyllic mountain hideaway known as Pena Palace into a private residence, it was a monastery. Equally delightful is the nearby Pena Park, which is home to a variety of unusual plants and other hidden gems. Experience the 'Crown of the Sintra area' for yourself. Once a convent in the 16th century, Ferdinand ordered its transformation into a vibrant, fantasy-like stronghold, discarding any idea of moderation. The castle is a fascinating mash-up of Romantic, Renaissance, Manueline, and Moorish styles since the King could not decide on a single style. A must-see for anyone who enjoy vibrant colours, architecture, and design! The gardens surrounding the building are equally lovely

A highlight of our honeymoon. Ask for Rafael!

Our private tour of Sintra and Cascais with Rafael was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. From the hotel pickup to the drop-off, everything was easy and comfortable. Rafael was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of every place we visited, and kind and easygoing the whole day. He planned the route around what we wanted. Getting to Pena Palace early beat the crowds, Monserrate was stunning, and the views at Cabo da Roca and along the Guincho coast were unforgettable. We also had plenty of time to enjoy Cascais. Rafael made it feel like exploring with a friend rather than being on a tour. If you want to see Sintra and Cascais without the stress of trains, buses and lines, book this tour. We'd book Rafael again in a heartbeat. Obrigado, Rafael!

The perfect day

We learned so much and truly enjoyed the connection with our guide. Ricardo was an excellent host. The private tour provided much more comfort and in-depth discussion compared to a larger group tour. Even in the “off-season”, the crowds were substantial at the main destinations and we were able to navigate a lot easier than if we were with a group. We highly recommend this trip with this tour guide.

Excellent Day of Sightseeing!

I really appreciated the advice I received before this tour. It helped me choose the best way to spend our time. My husband and I spent the day with Rui, an excellent tour guide and driver. Very personable, easy to understand, and incredibly knowledgeable. We saw Pena Palace (outside; no way we would’ve stood in the insane line to go inside), then to the town of Sintra for lunch, on to Monserrate Palace (beautiful grounds!) and ended at Cabo da Roca. It was a pleasure to be able to be picked up mid-morning at our hotel and have our own dedicated tour guide and driver.

Great!

Best way to explore Sintra in a short time. Our guide Daniela was excellent and made it a very smooth experience. All logistics were taken care of comfortably. Both castles are beautiful. Sintra center was also a joy, there we walked both ways to the small castle at the end, which was really worth it.

The half day Sintra tour...

The half day Sintra tour is the perfect overview if you want to get a snapshot of Sintra and its history. Bruno is super knowledgeable and we only scratched the surface of what he had to offer! He gives you the most important facts and makes it easy to remember the key facts but can just as easily any burning questions you might have.

A Great tour guide elevates the experience

It does involve uphill and downhill walking to and from the Pena Palace, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Bernardo was a very knowledgeable, accommodating and pleasant tour guide. He was extremely well informed about every aspect of the Palace, but he was also succinct and could clearly elucidate his thoughts.

Full day tour of Sintra and Cascais: On and Off the Beaten Path

Vasco pulled out all the stops on this private tour. He owns the tour company Cazzulu Travel at Cazzulu.com which specializes in these tours as well as all types of travel experiences and trip planning in Portugal and Spain especially finding ways to highlight places not seen by tourists. He is amazingly knowledgeable and his passion shows through as he taught us about the history and culture. He lives in Sintra with his family so during our all day tour he not only seemed to know everyone, but he is a local and he knew the back ways and shortcuts. He took us to a most delicious restaurant for lunch with locals. He was very accommodating.. We certainly hope to work with him again.

Sintra is a must see

We had a fabulous day visiting Sintra. Jorge picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon and we drove us to Sonya. On the way he pointed out sights and the history around them. The weather was very misty, so we didn’t have great views but that didn’t dampen our experience. Jorge was very helpful with navigating the tour experience at Pena castle and we loved our time viewing the exterior and the amazing grounds. Next to the village of Sintra for lunch and shopping. All in all a very wonderful experience!!

Excellent Half Day Tour of Sintra

Excellent tour with Diogo as our guide. He is funny and fun and has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area. We saw a bit of everything, driving through the forest, beaches and small towns and finishing the tour at the Pena Palace. Would recommend this tour.
