Misleading ticket options and bad communication

Livia_B, Oct 2026

I was very disappointed about this tour. It started out with the fact that I didn’t receive information about the pick-up time shifting to 8:30am from 8:00am until after midnight the night before the trip when I was obviously asleep. Therefore I went to the location by 7:45am as instructed before and realized there upon checking my emails that I had to wait for nearly an hour. Upon the bus's arrival, the tour guide was kind of stressed out because the rest of the group was picked up at another location as there were two options offered when booking. She told me that “her office called me this morning and I hung up” whereas nobody called me, I double-checked and I didn’t even have a missed call, let alone talking to someone. I told her that I didn't talk to anyone but she insisted in a rather rude way that I had hung up. We started the tour and as she was talking about the itinerary, I realized that there was a location that wasn't mentioned in the tour description or the itinerary at all: Qinta da Regaleria. It wouldn't have been a problem but it turned out that I didn't have a ticket for it as out of the two ticket options I chose the one that didn't include this. Now, the two options were this: 1. Pena Palace Gardens, 2. Pena Palace and Gardens. Apparently, the latter meant Qinta da Regaleria palace as well... how is one supposed to know that when there's literally no mention of the palace on the tour's page? I wanted to visit the palace but since it wasn't not on the itinerary, I had no idea that the "Pena Palace and Gardens" ticket would include it. This confusion not only caused me to miss out on the palace, it also caused me to have nearly 3 hours of free time on my own in Sintra, where the palace was. The options were named absolutely misleading and it should have been mentioned that if you're opting for option 1, you'll have considerable free time on your own. Altogether, I'm very dissatisfied about the communication (the lack of thereof, really) and how it all was handled.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry for the confusion regarding the pickup time, communication, and ticket options. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive early, wait, and then discover that the ticket selection resulted in several hours of free time in Sintra. We also apologize for the way the situation was handled by the guide. Your comments about the unclear ticket descriptions and itinerary are particularly valuable, and we’ll share them with our team to improve the information provided when booking and avoid similar misunderstandings in the future. We sincerely regret that this affected your experience.

Save yourself

Katharyn_G, Sept 2026

Every guidebook lists Sintra as a “must do” sidetrip from Lisbon. To be sure, Pena palace is beautiful and worth visiting. But consider whether it is really worth a 10 hour bus trip, with hordes of other tourists (even on a weekday in late September), that will mostly be spent driving, or stopping at other sites you may not care about (e.g., Cascais) or waiting for your timed ticket for the palace to start. With regard to this particular operator - the bus boarding pickup was chaotic (same place as dozens of other operators). Even though we signed up for an English trip, we had to listen to everything repeated in Portuguese. And even though we bought all the tickets available to us, some on our tour had extra tickets to Regaleira (meaning we had to bum around in the village of Sintra for nearly 2 hours while they did their tour), and some did not have Pena palace inside tickets, which just created confusion at the entry point. Everyone on a tour should have the same tickets and access! I feel like the tour operator is really only interested in filling their buses. Anyway, if you want to go to Sintra, there must be a better way. Otherwise, I suggest finding other ways to spend your precious time in and around Lisbon.

Response from Host, Sept 2026

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed Pena Palace, but we’re sorry that the organization of the tour and the different ticket arrangements among participants affected your experience. We understand your concerns about the busy pickup area, multilingual commentary, and waiting time in Sintra. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll share it with our team to improve the organization and clarity of our tours. Thank you for choosing Lanetours.

We bought the tour with...

manjeev_m, Apr 2026

We bought the tour with paid tickets for the entrance to all the places but were told to buy some additional tickets for 40.00 euros which the guide took in cash

Lots of impressions high speed visits and elevations

Cecile_E, Oct 2025

Beautiful tour of cascais costa da roca and Sintra . Mario the guide and Carlos navigated us through history and very narrow streets with their passion sense of humor and stories . High pace visits elevation walks but timely stops for a rest and some good ! If you do not want to do trip on your own this is a great option !

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for your review! Great to hear you enjoyed the beautiful coastline and the passion of both guides. We appreciate your note about the fast pace and steep streets, which can indeed be challenging for some travelers. Thank you for recommending the tour!

Très bonne excursion

Serge_N, Oct 2024

Le guide fut excellent. Comme nous étions un petit groupe, le guide nous a suivi tout au long du parcours. Ils respectait le rythme du groupe. Les endroits choisis étaient excellents. Le repas au restaurant sur le bord de la mer était excellent et les hôtes était d'une extrème gentillesse. Ce fut très apprécié.

Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour d'autres aventures à Lisbonne !

Il prezzo è troppo alto

Valeria_T, Sept 2024

Bruno guida fantastica, abbiamo visitato dei bei posti, le mie 3 stelle anziché 5 sono per il prezzo. 84 euro compresi i biglietti per il palazzo (considerando che 20 euro sono la differenza dall'esperienza senza biglietti) sono veramente troppi. Mi dispiace dirlo ma il prezzo non vale l'esperienza.

Response from Host, Sept 2024

Sembra che tu abbia avuto un'esperienza fantastica con Bruno come guida, ma il prezzo non abbia soddisfatto le tue aspettative. Per quanto riguarda il prezzo dei biglietti d'ingresso al Palazzo Pena, siamo spiacenti ma essendo un monumento statale è il prezzo ufficiale. Apprezziamo il tuo feedback.
