Perfect tour with fantastic guide
We had the most perfect full day tour of Sintra (Peña Palace and Regaleria) with our guide Nuno Gomes. We left Lisbon in rain, but as Nuno promised there was sunshine when we reached Sintra. Nuno was brilliant at parking, getting us through lines quickly and all the time imparting fun and interesting historical information. He constantly made sure we were absorbing information by giving us clues and testing whether we had remembered facts and details. We very much enjoyed this level of interaction and it was additionally fun when we couldn’t remember things and came up with creative answers. The pace was perfect, unhurried and allowing us to totally absorb the wonders of both places. We laughed a lot and I drove him crazy with a million questions…all jokes aside he was extremely patient and seemed to enjoy our enthusiasm. Nuno recommended a fabulous restaurant in Sintra, which had the best tapas….especially the anchovies, prawns and octopus and with the addition of some Douro wine, we had an good start to our afternoon tour of Quinta da Regaleria. That is one spooky place with the Initiation Well, and influence of the Knights Templar and Freemasons. The Pena Palace is the best place to go to in the morning, before huge lines and is romantic, artistic and calm. The numerous trees planted from different countries makes the walk to and from very special. Sintra itself is a very wealthy place with ex royalty still living there, families that followed and settled by royals plus new stars like Madonna whose son plays soccer for Portugal team. Finally, as an older but active couple we would very much recommend Nuno as the perfect person to take you on this magical tour. 15,000 steps later we were exhausted but totally satisfied with our day with him. Thanks Nuno for being the best guide.

Excellent experience
We had an amazing time Exploring Sintra and Cascais with our tour guide Filipe. He arrived on time picking us up from our hotel and took us to places we would never have known about and went above and beyond our expectations. Filipe was fantastic and the whole process of booking the tour from start to finish was easy and the communication was excellent both from the tour company to the guide.

Great time in Sintra with Alexandre!
Alexandre was amazing! He was very knowledgeable. Didn’t rush us. We had time to do and see all we wanted. We even managed to go to Monserrate which was not in our original plans. At his suggestion, we went and it did not disappoint! Took his time explaining history and background stories. Was patient when we wanted to stop for a quick photo op and even became our personal photographer! Excellent experience, will recommend to friends/family wanting to visit Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais and Porto too as he was able to offer recommendations and suggestions in all places without fault! Very happy to have met Alexandre and to have had this experience!

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
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 1,740 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 609 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.
