We had a great day on this tour! Our guide Paulo was very knowledgeable and helpful. We didn’t have to wait in lines and learned so much at every stop. This was definitely the way to experience Sintra. I highly recommend this tour! Be prepared to walk a lot of hills. Comfortable shoes are a must!

A great day out. Our tour group was small, only my partner and one other person so it almost felt like a private tour. Our guide Paulo was very friendly and knowledgeable. He already arranged our tickets for Pena Palace the day before when the slot for 9:30 was about to sell out. He also recommended a great restaurant for lunch. Overall we felt it was great value for money, having the knowledge of a guide and the convenience of the transport. We loved all 3 palaces and didn't have to wait in any queues.

Good tour, we enjoyed our day in Sintra. We were a small group just 5 people. Very nice palaces, locations were beautiful. Gustavo was our guide that day, he was nice and had good vibe. But we didn’t liked 3 things: in the last 2 palaces we had little time to walk it, he gave us very little time and we wanted to take a lot of pictures. Another thing we didn’t liked was that after lunch, we got a little lost, so we weren’t on time to meet with him and we could feel that he got upset and that his good mood changed for the rest of the day. And lastly, when we were in the van, we couldn’t listen to his explanation of the history he was telling because we were at the back in the last seat, so we missed a lot of good information about Sintra.
