More than Desirable Portugal tour
I had the good fortune to have Leonard of Desirable Portugal as my guide through Sintra, the Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the day memorable. As my wife could not join us, we began with a walking work the town of Sintra. We explored back streets that larger tours could not access and kept ahead of the larger tours in the central parts of the town. We approached the Pena Palace through the park that surrounds it, always with great insights into the creation of the park and its natural beauty. Leonard’s insights into the history and creation of the palace were amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Ditto for the Moorish Castle. All in all a wonderful 6 hours in his company. He was hands down the best tour guide I have spent time with.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sintra Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Sintra Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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 Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle 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 Sintra Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". 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 Sintra Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle?
+
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 Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sintra Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle?
+
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 Sintra Essentials 6H Private Tour Pena Palace and Moorish Castle 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.
