Poor guide. Bad experience
We expected to go to Peña Palace. Driver, Manuel, asked if we wanted to go we needed tickets. He stopped at other Palace and said both palaces were closed due to strike. No tickets available. When we got to Sintra we went for independent walk and local guide said no problem and drove us to Palace, their wee tickets available and palace was open. We promii on sex to be back so couldn’t visit Peña PalCe. When we got back he said he could drive us there, it he had bad info and really didn’t want to go. Disappointed we could get the tour we are contracted for. Also driver did not had VW hands free celllphone and was distracted. We would not recommend
Response from the operator: Hi Mr. Steve. I must say that I fully understand your frustration, however this comment should be directed to Monte da Lua, the company that manages all the palaces in Sintra Just like you, we had other cases that day, simply the employees held a plenary session in the morning without notifying anyone, we had thousands of people who were unable to visit the palaces and many of them will not be reimbursed. For your guide it was a surprise and as you can imagine, it created a concern and frustration in him, which certainly ended up affecting his performance. Employees are in dispute with the private company that manages all the palaces and hold this type of plenary that are nothing more than fake strikes. However, I must say that your review is a bit unfair, as it would not be directed at us, but at Monte da Lua itself. As a rule, we suggest purchasing a ticket to the Pena Palace, which we did not do in your case, as your tour also included Obidos, which makes it difficult to predict your arrival in Sintra. We wanted to be useful in a new opportunity. Thanks

Wonderful Tour
We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Pedro. He was very knowledgeable and flexible and made our time extra nice. He also gave us great recommendations for our stay in Lisbon.

Wondeful, nice, clean drive - but not a guided tour
We had a very very nice driver, but he wasn't a "tour" guide. So we had a very good and safe driver who got us from our hotel in Lisbon to Obidos, Sintra, and Cascais, but we were dropped off with a few minutes of instruction regarding where we might want to walk around and then he was very timely picking us up as well. He was very kind and the car was very clean - but again, if you are expecting/wanting a guided tour with someone who is going to accompany you to these places, this is not it.
Response from the operator: Hello We are sorry for your comment. Yes, in fact, Obidos is a medieval village, in which what becomes pleasant a walk through its alleys, try its typical drink, the ginja cherry and the typical handicraft shops, so we let our customers enjoy it on their own. The same does not happen in Sintra, where when there is a visit to a palace, the guide always accompanies you during the visit. We look forward to a new opportunity. Thanks

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Obidos and Sintra Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Obidos and Sintra Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Obidos and Sintra Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Obidos and Sintra Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 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 Obidos and Sintra Private Tour?
+
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 Obidos and Sintra Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Obidos and Sintra Private Tour?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Obidos and Sintra Private Tour 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.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. 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.
