Not worth the price
It covers quite a few places but overly expensive and does not include tickets to major sights. The driver seemed very intent on getting through the trip as soon as possible. Always discouraging to go inside a building. If we would have listened to him, would have missed a lot of thing in Sintra. We also missed seeing the staircase with the Sintra sign. He refused to take us there.
Response from the operator: Hello Shika, To respond to your comment and so that other clients see it as well: 1. On the information regarding this tour it says clearly that this is a SIGHTSEEING tour and that visiting on the inside is not part of this experience, so of course the tickets are not going to be included. 2. Even though this tour does not include the visit inside, the guide was still kind enough to allow you to visit INSIDE TWO Palaces in Sintra, the Pena Palace and the National Palace of Sintra. 3. The tour duration is at maximum 7 hours and the guide stayed with you for 9 hours exactly because he allowed for things in this tour that is not included. 4. The "staircase" that you mentioned is INSIDE Quinta da Regaleira, which is a place that is not even included in this itinerary. In conclusion, you booked this tour without reading what it consisted in, the fault is yours. Next time you should read what a tour is about before booking it.

Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide cost?
+
Prices start at €80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Easy Sintra and Lisbon Sightseeing Tour with Private Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
