We took this tour the last day of our vacation. Jorge, a Sintra local, was our guide and he was amazing! Super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited (Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira). He also took a bunch of pictures of us on the tour, which was much appreciated. It was truly the best day of our trip, and my husband and I would both highly recommend taking this tour!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Julio our tour expert was engaging, professional, friendly, and made for a special day. He went the extra mile and took my wife to get a pair of sunglasses and showed us a winery!
