Interesting experience. The palace is fantastic. The view of the farest west point of Eurobean land is awsome. The tour guide explains every thing in English then in french because we had half of the team from Australia and half from the french Canada. Since I speak both english and French, I heared eveything twice. Interesting!

Pickup details

Free pick up and drop off at your hotel or apartment in Lisbon. Our pick ups are between 7h45 and 8h15 AM. We will inform your exact pick up time on the day before the tour. • You should buy in anticipation the tickets to Pena Palace on their website. You should select the 14h30 (2h30pm) slot. It is important that you buy only for this slot, as we are organizing all the groups for the same time. • The tickets tend to sell out. If you don't purchase your tickets in anticipation, we can't guarantee availability at the Palace entrance so you might end up just being able to visit the exteriors and the gardens.

Itinerary

Your full-day tour of the Sintra region begins with pickup at your centrally-located Lisbon hotel, where you'll climb aboard a comfortable tour vehicle and meet your guide for the day.

Head for Pena Palace, which sits on a hilltop with a view of Sintra National Park and the Atlantic Ocean. Learn about the 19th-century Romantic style of the palace, then continue through Sintra National Park to see the flora and fauna, the Chalets, the Montserrate Palace, and the Moorish Castle.

Learn about the alchemy behind architecture and art, with origins in the Templars, the Rose Cross, and the Masonry.

Then spend some free time in Cascais, a former vacation destination for the Portuguese Royal family before returning to your departure point.

Sintra and Pinna Palace tour

ALIM_A, Apr 2026

Sintra, Cabo da roca and Pena palace tour

Rosemary_F, Apr 2026

This was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Cascais is a charming beachfront town, offering a delightful selection of eateries and shops. Our second stop, Cabo da Roca, was truly exhilarating—its dramatic ocean views and iconic lighthouse provided stunning photo opportunities. Our tour guide, Vasco, was personable and highly knowledgeable, offering valuable insights into the history of each location as well as Portugal’s political and monarchical past. Sintra, our next destination, was enchanting—rustic, mystical, and full of character. We were given ample time to explore at our own pace and enjoy lunch at a local establishment, which enhanced the overall experience. The final stop at Pena Palace was breathtaking. The palace itself resembles a fairy-tale castle, surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds filled with diverse trees, flowers, and vegetation. Visitors should be prepared for a moderately challenging 20-minute uphill walk to the entrance; however, shuttle options are available for convenience. Overall, this tour was well-paced, informative, and memorable. A sincere thank you to Vasco for being such an outstanding host and guide.

seamless, beautiful trip

Amber_K, Apr 2026

A perfect day and way to experience Sintra

Aaron_L, Mar 2026

Great variety of experiences across Sintra and Cascais and Igor was a perfect guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and flexible.

Great experience

Zena_T, Mar 2026

We visited Pena palace and the old town. Vasco was informative and told us lots of interesting facts about Portugal and Lisbon.

Excellent tour, a long...

Cheryl_G, Feb 2026

Excellent tour, a long day though, informative guide, saw some beautiful places, would highly recommend

Amazing Day!!

Sarah_T, Feb 2026

We had an amazing trip with Igor! He catered to every need and question we had, was an excellent conversationalist and of course, had just the right amount of information/history to provide as I was traveling with my son. This area of Portugal is unique and beautiful — I would highly recommend this tour as a respite from the city and to see more of what this beautiful country has to offer!

We had a wonderful time....

Elaine_M, Jan 2026

We had a wonderful time. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He made the trip seem like a family outing. Highly recommend this tour. Elaine MacEachern

Great tour

Holly_S, Jan 2026

Our guide was Igor. We ended up with a private tour because the other people in our group had to cancel. We were really thankful that they didn’t cancel the tour on us. Igor was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We felt very well taken care of.

Cascáis/Sintra Tour

George, Dec 2025

Plenty of time at each stop. Recommend just for skipping the line at the palace. A lot of good information from the tour guide while driving.

Best Natural and beurtiful tour in lisbon

mamdouh_k, Dec 2025

Very nice tour we review the history and Nature of sintra and surround with the top excelant tour guide Erck who show the best of sintra and full detailed history

Exceptional guide

Irving_Z, Nov 2025

Perfect balance of information and freedom to explore. Sintra is a magical place Time to explore independently is important

Very disappointing day

cnemiroff, Nov 2025

I have some mobility challenges specifically stairs or high steps are very difficult. The van used had a very high step to get in and out. The driver at first did not have anything to help me but then reluctantly he finally admitted he had a plastic step to put on the ground. He said it was cracked and wasn't sure it would hold up. I was able to use that but it was still very difficult both climbing in and then positioning my feet to be able to sit down. The legroom in the 2nd row was very small. The tour itself was disappointing because he took us first to Cascais, very early on a Sunday morning and everything was closed. We basically sat on a bench for 1 hour doing nothing. Then we went on to Sintra which had a lot more going on and would have been a nicer place to spend more than the 1/2 hour given. He then took us to the lighthouse and said we could have lunch there at 1 of the 2 or 3 restaurants. He said, "you can check each one out, if you don't like one, go 30 seconds and you will find another." Nothing could be farther from the truth. Each individual restaurant was at least a 5-10 minute walk apart. We ended up at the 1st place simply because I could not walk farther. We had a very overpriced lunch where they even wanted to charge us for bread and butter on the table. Last but not least was the stop to the Pena Palace. I was told in advance if we chose not to enter the palace there was a comfortable place to sit and wait the hour while the others in the tour went in. There was no where comfortable. Rather it was a hard bench out in the freezing cold and drizzle. We ended up waiting almost 2 hours because one member of the tour got lost in the palace. I feel this was a total waste of our day and nothing of what I expected.

The trip was great!

Mavis_W, Nov 2025

The trip was educational and provided great insight into Lisbon's History. Vasco, our tour guide was professional, personable and patient; he is quite knowledgeable and has an easy going personality. He answered our questions with clarity and made us feel at ease. It was a small group of six people so everyone received equal attention.

Cool Palace But A Little Misleading

Ronda_E, Nov 2025

The ad for the tour leads you to believe you will see magical gardens. You see the palace, which is cool, but to see the gardens you need far more time. Our guide acted annoyed to be doing his job. Perhaps he was just burnt out. The information he provided within the palace was helpful, however there were many moments of silence along the entire tour where he could have offered information along the way. To get any more information than the minimum, we had to ask for it.

Day trip from Lisbon

Rick_L, Nov 2025

Not enough time at Palace, a bit too much time at the other stops. Beautiful drive along coastline and parks.

Louis amazing

Susan_K, Nov 2025

Great experience. Louis was an amazing driver and guide. He was very knowledgable and allowed us plenty of time in each area.

Very comfortable, pleasant, and informative tour

Carey_P, Nov 2025

Great trip. Luis is a very personable and knowledgeable guide. His food recommendation was spot on. He provided us with a great deal of historical information accompanying the site along the way as well as at the destinations.

We did not get to see all...

RobynS_K, Oct 2025

We did not get to see all that was stated in the tour nor was much explained by the tour guide. He was a nice tour guide, just not too informative. Much of the day was determined by the weather. Do not get the Full Pena Ticket included as you do not have time with this tour to see it all, just get the half.

Waisted of time and money due to boring tour guy.

Ann_N, Oct 2025

Louis was not a good tour guy at all. We were so disappointed with his service. His mono tone and italian accent when speaking English is hard to understand. He doesn't have a good communication and definitely didn't get his story across to everyone. Most, if not all of us were so bored because he mumbled a lot and mono tone through out the day which puts us to sleep. :-( He didn't plan it well neither. We didn't start visiting the main castle until the afternoon which by then everyone were too tired to climb up. It should be the first place to visit when everyone were still fresh and alert. We were so disappointed and didn't enjoy this trip at all. Would not recommend this at all! Waisted of time and money

Lisbon

Deborah_D, Oct 2025

Best day tour, best guide Andre Feldman! Very knowledgeable and perfect English. The tour from beginning to end was beautiful

You're a little more on...

Suzanne_S, Oct 2025

You're a little more on your own than I expected. The driver was knowledgeable, but didn't join on activities

Very convenient to go to...

Janet_B, Oct 2025

Very convenient to go to Sintra with the pickup from hotel and the included tickets and transport to Pena Palace.

Great trip to Sintra

Steven_F, Sep 2025

Great tour. Great host. Marco really did a great job making our trip extra enjoyable even though it rained and was foggy at the Pena Palace. He made great recommendations for lunch and shopping in cascais and sintra. He showed us everything and you could tell he takes great pride in his work and in Portugal.

Too Rushed to Enjoy properly.

Robin_R, Sep 2025

Our guide was very helpful. I think though, the tour felt rushed and I would recommend it to be a little longer for more enjoyment. Sintra itself was way too crowded to enjoy properly. That didn't have anything to do with the quality of our guide. He was great.

Wonderful Experience! ...

Anita_R, Sep 2025

Wonderful Experience! Marco was magnificent and the tour was absolutely magical! I would definitely recommend!

Excellent Tour

Sarah_J, Sep 2025

A well organised informative tour. The guide Igor was very knowledgeable, friendly and polite. We had ample time at each stop and never felt rushed. I would book this tour again and highly recommend Igor as a guide 😀

Amazing Day

Ainslee_H, Sep 2025

Marco was a fantastic guide! Could not recommend this tour enough. We drove along the coast and through vineyards up to Sintra, stopping for lunch along the way. We were considering navigating this day on our own, but we were very happy that we decided to go with the tour.

The guide makes the difference

John_A, Sep 2025

This was an exceptional tour. Marco, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable sharing incredible insight and provided a lot of humor marking the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend the tour to gain an appreciation of the Sintra and the Pena Palace.
