Great tour, the palaces were beautiful and the architecture impressive. Our guide Bernardo was very attentive and got us through the long day safely and comfortably.
Dennis_W, May 2026
This tour ended up being 12 hours with a LOT of walking, specifically on hilly, cobblestone streets. It’s well worth it though! We saw some beautiful sights and had a delicious Portuguese meal! Our tour guide, Joaquim, was wonderful!! I would highly recommend this tour but BEWARE! Lots of walking over uneven, hilly terrain! Bring good walking shoes and be ready for a LONG day!
Martin_G, May 2026
This is a great way to see many important sites in the Lisbon area. We had 8 people including ourselves and that in my opinion is the right size for this. Many spots, like the well, were very small. Our leader, Tiago was on time for pickup and very knowledgeable. He was fun to talk to. We had a great day A+++.
Michael_P, May 2026
We had a great day with Luis. He worked very hard to make sure everything went smoothly.
He was very knowledgeable with a great personality.
Yuxuan_N, May 2026
Our day tour to Sintra was wonderful! We were able to see everything on the itinerary, and when the weather didn’t cooperate, the plans were adjusted smoothly to make the most of the day. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and many of the sights were absolutely stunning. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend this tour.
Lauren_P, May 2026
Made seeing multiple palaces and points of interest stress free and easy. Really enjoyed the historical context our guide provided.
David_G, May 2026
This day trip was well worth the time with so much to see and do. There was plenty of walking (lots of uphill!) but Patrik was a great guide and made all the stops interesting and easy for our group to navigate.
An interesting day away from busy Lisbon.
Cary_H, May 2026
An excellent overview of the scenic sites around the Sintra area. Patric was a great host and guide, providing insight and interesting tidbits of information without being boring or overbearing. His recommendations were all first-rate and he was considerate with parking and pickups.
Having taken similar tours in the recent past, I will say that this tour was well organized, and very well executed. Well worth the price!
Catherine_R, May 2026
Our day trip to Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace, and Cascais exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Miguel, was incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history and made our day absolutely stress-free. Every stop was well worth it, featuring breathtaking scenery, lush gardens, spiral staircase leading to the bottom of the well, underground tunnels, and grandiose palaces. If you are looking for a guide, look no further - Miguel is highly recommended. He was patient and let us explore the hilly streets at our own pace. My friends and I had a great adventure, never a dull moment. We had a delicious food experience on lunchtime. We passed by the beaches on our way back to Lisbon. This tour from SPR tours booked via Viator app is worth every penny.
Venancio_R, May 2026
Tour was amazing! Ramos was an awesome guide. He was very helpful and provided suggestions. Even asked for a recommendation days after our tour and he responded promptly.
Ann_O, May 2026
The sights were worth seeing, very interesting. The guide was knowledgeable and provided good customer service, including good communication. The last three stops—two ocean views and 30 minutes in Cascais were of less interest to us. It was a long day - about 11 hours, and would have been better if there were a MUCH shorter lunch break.
Judy_W, May 2026
This was a great way to spend a day in Sintra and also see Cabo and Cascais. We were picked up at our hotel. It was a small group of 8. Hugo was our guide, he was fantastic, gave us lots of background and stories of each location. He helped us navigate the grounds, avoided the crowds with a good schedule. We were done Pena and Regaleira before the large tour buses arrived. We went to a Portuguese restaurant for lunch, food was fantastic and great value for the price (not included in tour price). Highly recommend this tour!
Nicole_V, May 2026
Luis did an amazing job as our tour guide! He was very informative and funny! He also acted as our personal photographer and took some amazing photos of us. Overall a great experience! Highly recommend!
Lauren_N, May 2026
Davide was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. I can’t believe how much we saw in one day, but he highlighted the beauty of Sintra and the surrounding areas for us.
Natalie_H, May 2026
Amazing Sintra experience! The group is organized based on trailing with other people from your country so the sense of community is strengthened. Make sure to bring cash, many places prefer or only accept cash. Tour guide Tiago was knowledgable, fun, and worked to foster a great experience.
Deborah_B, May 2026
Was a great experience. It was a fun time and the guide was great, gave us lots of history and information and worked hard to be accommodating. The group we went with was fun. Super glad we took the tour for our short stay in Lisbon. Note: be prepared for a lot of walking, stairs and uphill also. Would recommend!
Phillip_L, May 2026
Tour was long but fun and informative. Hugo was great and educated us on so much of the history at the sites :)
Alexandra_M, May 2026
We had a wonderful time on the tour with our guide Luis. He clearly has a passion and is knowledgeable in architecture, which made learning about the various sites quite enjoyable. The small group size allowed us to get to know one another and the energy was great. Highly recommend.
Chenlu_T, May 2026
We had a wonderful day trip with Patrick as our guide. There was a nice balance of guided tour and free time to explore. Patrick was punctual, easy going, knowledgeable, and friendly. Very good with kids as well. We highly recommend this tour for families who want to see the highlights of Sintra!
Melissa_K, May 2026
It was a physically demanding tour but we had an amazing tour guide and a fantastic group that made the numerous stairs worth it. The views were incredible.
Valerie_B, May 2026
The tour was great and the scenery beautiful. Our guide was knowledgeable and very efficient. There was a significant amount of walking.
Shaina_M, May 2026
This is a great tour to a lot outside of the center of Lisbon. Bernardo was our guide and he is the best. Very knowledgeable and really kind. The lunch was Felipe’s and very authentic. Highly recommend.
Eileen_B, May 2026
This was the most amazing tour. We had an excellent local guide who provided us with an excellent 10 hour tour. We were is a small mini van with only 5 other guests. He provided full walking tours at the sites and suggested the best local fish restaurant for lunch. It was well worth it and would recommend it to anyone.
Lauren_W, May 2026
Our guide, Tiago, was great! He was communicative and pick up and drop off were very easy. The tour combined some of the main highlights of Sintra perfectly. Quinta da Regaliera and Pena Palace were incredible and the views at Cabo da Roca were stunning. Lunch at a restaurant in Colares where Tiago’s parents had dined as far back as high school added a personal (and delicious!) touch.
suejov, May 2026
Wonderful tour! Lots of walking but well worth it. Our tour guide Pedro was so knowledgeable and a lot of fun. 100% recommend
Luisa_L, May 2026
Bernardo was our guide, knowledgeable and fun. Pick up and drop off on time. Lunch was amazing. Tour just as described. Highly recommended
Donovan_H, May 2026
Lots of walking, up and down. Beautiful architecture from 1840. Luis was incredibly informative. Lunch was fantastic. My only disappointment was that we didn't get to see the Moorish castle. It has 7th century safety standards so we couldn't go. Everything else was amazing.
Larry_W, May 2026
Patrik was fun, friendly & quite knowledgeable! Awesome day! Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Appreciated the quantity, variety, and price of our lunch! He accommodated all requests he was able to do. Well done and highly recommend this or any tour with Patrik!
Zach_J, May 2026
We booked this tour at the last minute and it ended up being a highlight of the trip. Our tour guide was energetic and knowledgeable, and made the entire day extremely enjoyable. There was a lot of walking and steep hills, but it was all worth it for the views and the overall experience. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Karishma_K, May 2026
Really good tour - I went with one of my good friends. Both of us got picked up at our hotels and the guide Luis was a very nice man. He was very knowledgeable, attentive, helpful and responsible on our tour.
We had a most wonderful time - lots of photos were taken of us as well as the breakfast and lunch spots that we visited were incredible. Really yummy travesseiro traditional cakes with coffee as well as Portuguese style lunch.
The Regaleira tour was my favourite part. Luis was very helpful to show the best spots. He dropped us back close to our accommodation also. Very happy to have a most beautiful day.
Recommend this tour as a must do from Lisbon.
