The most fun we had while visiting Lisboa
5 out of 5 The tour with Alexandra was absolutely marvelous! Raised in Sintra she was well informed of their history. Her love for the area was easily seen in her excitement of sharing the region’s history. She was also very enlightening in the growth of the local area and her region making the family more interested in the history of Portugal. This tour captures the interests of many: nature lovers, selfie maniacs, those in search of beautiful views, fortress maneuvering, people looking for physical challenges, and most of all those interested in the region’s history. We have taken tours in many major European cities and this tour ranks as our family’s #1 tour! Finishing the tour, was bitter sweet, it felt like we were saying good bye to a great friend! I highly recommend this tour, and to take advantage of the local pick up. You will have a great time!

Beautiful hike in Sintra
A wonderful guided hike in Sintra! Alexandra showed us the Historical Center and National Palace. We explored the beautiful Moorish Fortress Hiking trail that we would not have found on our own. We visited Moorish Fortress and Pena Palace and could avoid the long queues as Alexandra was showing us all the beautiful places beneath the mass tourism. Finally we got to see the glorious Quinta da Regaleira. Alexandra provided us with a lot of interesting facts and history. When some of our group members didn't manage the hike anymore she kindly arranged a Tuk Tuk for them so everyone could enjoy the tour. If you want to see the beautiful places of sintra like a local and avoid the masses go with Alexandra. It's a great experience!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking tour cost?
+
Prices start at $516 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 Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking tour 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 Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking 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 Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking tour 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 Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira hiking 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.
