Excursion was in one of the most beautiful areas of Portugal.
The trip was with Nelson Branco (Welcome pickup). It took place in a very pleasant family atmosphere. The program was flexible. We have determined how much time we can spend in some places. Pena Castle is a fairy tale, you should go up the steep hill. Cascais and Sintra are wonderful settlements with fabulous houses. Cabo de Roca is a bit windy but not to be missed. Europe ends here in the West. I recommend this tour to everyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review.

The perfect way to see Sintra and Cascais
Everything was perfect on this tour. The service was great and even accommodated our request to go one day earlier than originally booked. Our tour guide Miguel was amazing. He was at the pick up point early, very professional, very friendly and a wealth of information. He ensured that we did not have to stay in line for hours, gave us recommendations for where to eat and what to see on our off times and overall an great person and guide. Happy we did not go in a big group as this private tour was just tailored for us.
Response from the operator: Thank you!

Fabulous Tour
Thank You Miquel for an amazing day!! Miquel was on time and very helpful to the other guests on a different tour. We started out and he was full of information...(some of which I missed being in the rear seat and the road noise was a bit too much for my old ears)...He had a wealth of interesting information and was a very nice gentleman! This a wonderful tour of beautiful sites and well worth the price. Thank you so much for a great trip I wish every tour guide was this good!
Response from the operator: Thank you!

Great day
With tourguide Igor and 4 other people i had a great tour around sintra and cascais. The tourguide explains a lot but also Give you enough free time to do your own things. He says where all the good places are for the view or lunch. I had a great day and i Will recommend this tour for sure!
Response from the operator: Thank you!

Sintra is Excellent - Nuno was a good guide
Picked up around the time expected in a comfortable vehicle. Good stop off on route and a good tour of Sintra. Not sure why the stop off for a meal was necessary but it seems the norm on these tours. Flew through Cascais on the way back. Nunu was conversational and knowledgeable and it was an enjoyable day out
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review!

Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon cost?
+
Prices start at €71 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 Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon 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 Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 22 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 Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon?
+
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 Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon 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 Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon?
+
Around 8 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 Sintra and Cascais Private Tour with Pena Palace from Lisbon 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.
