I spent a lot of time...
I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect tour and luckily I found this one. We had a brilliant day with Bruno as our guide. He shared his knowledge and hidden details that we would have missed other wise.

I am so happy that we...
I am so happy that we booked this tour with Bruno. Right from the beginning he was so patient and accommodating. We are a family of four with 10yo and 7yo. I knew it may be challenging at times as there is some walking involved but thanks to his knowledge and experience he was able to get us places fairly quickly before the big crowds arrived. He is a wealth of knowledge!!!! So many interesting stops along the way that he would point out to us. Without his knowledge you would miss it. After Sintra we stopped for delicious lunch and breathtaking views. He also took photos of us and shared some additional pictures via whatsup. Sintra is a magical place that gets pretty busy so if you want to make it as easy as possible on yourself be sure to book a tour with this company and ask for Bruno!!! .Thank you for an amazing day :-)

A Day Well-Spent. Take This Tour.
The tour was expertly guided by Bruno who navigated through multiple traffic obstacles to make sure we experienced the Pena Palace, Sinatra Village, and seaside Cascais to the fullest. His knowledge of history and culture brought everything to life. This is an amazing tour and a day well-spent.
via Viator
Sintra, pena palaces, Cascais, Cabo da Roca
Bruno is an excellent tourist guide, well time planned, accesible, give good recommendations for places to eat, respectful and speak three languages, so he kept the group well informed. The REGALEIRA was viewed from a distance point in the mountain. No time to take pictures outside the building or its exterior landscape because time was not sufficient. Although the client could decide whether to explore the center of sintra and the national palace or to explore REGALEIRA. Those whose stay in the center were on time to reach the meeting point with Bruno. REGALEIRA still is a point of interest to tourists , so I recommend that Viator and operators include more time to visit the “pozo” of the REGALEIRA and the center (both), with some control of time to tourists. Because in the title of the tour it include the name REGALEIRA and this creates some expectation to tourist. And besides, the operators give instructions that those who want to visit REGALEIRA can buy the ticket individually in the 12 slot. To control or prevent that the group be divided, I recommend to take the group to both places with control of time. Because in the REGALEIRA there are notices by the operator that person could be lost in the gardens. Overall, that was an excellent experience of Sintra, pena palaces, Cascais, Cabo da Roca, Estoril, and the center where originally picked up.

Excellent Tour
Our tour guide, Bruno, was very informative and friendly. We had an amazing tour of Sintra, Pena Palace, Costa Roca and Cascais. Beautiful scenery. Bruno was very helpful with tips in what restaurants to check out and the best pastries in Sintra! Bravo Bruno!

Sintra, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Sintra, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People) cost?
+
Prices start at €55 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, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People) 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, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 225 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, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People)?
+
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, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People) 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 Sintra, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People)?
+
Around 79 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, Pena Palace & Regaleira Small-Group Tour (Max 8 People) 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.
