Stepping back in time - Sintra
Lovely day in Sintra! Our guide was very knowledgeable. The sights were incredible in Sintra and Rock Beach was interesting but more time in Sintra would have been better. Suggest you make it easier to indicate and buy skip the line tickets for Pena Palace. We thought we had and that turned out not to be the case. Regaleira was phenomenal!

Our Guide made the difference.
Felipe was absolute fabulous. It was an enjoyable day with visits to key Portugese historical and beautiful places. Our guides knowledge was second to none and he made it fun. Highly recommended.

Great tour and guide
Amazing tour !! Filipa was one of the BEST tour guides we have EVER had! The sites we saw were breathtaking plus Filipa took us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch which overlooked the ocean with fresh seafood entrees and introduced us to Travesseiro - a mouth watering dessert in Sintra. Her knowledge of the history was outstanding. A perfect day excursion with Filipa.

Best day ever!
Our tour of Sintra with Antonio was simply the best. He planned out our visits to Peña Palace and Quinta de Reguleira well, allowing us extra time to see the National Palace, eat lunch, and do a little shopping. He was very knowledgeable and even guided us through the palace grounds. His flexibility allowed us to see all we needed to see and would have taken us farther if we hadn’t worn out. We highly recommend this tour.

Sintra Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Sintra Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira cost?
+
Prices start at €46 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 Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira 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 Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,802 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sintra Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira?
+
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 Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira 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 Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira?
+
Around 631 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 Full Day Private Tour: Including Pena Palace + Regaleira 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.
