It is an interesting look...
It is an interesting look into historical Portugal and makes history come to life. It also offers a scenic view of some of Potugal's beautiful coastal area. Keith, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and concerned with making the tour a wonderful experience. The insights and details he provided made you feel as if you were integrally involved in Potugese life, both past and present. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon and strongly suggest that they request Keith as their guide.

Great Day Visiting Sintra
We had a great day with Joao. Very friendly and knowledgeable about Sintra, the history of Portugal, and local places to visit in Lisbon. He took the time to find out what we wanted to see, what type of food we wanted to eat for lunch, and was a great host in every aspect. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Enjoyable Day.
We enjoyed this full day tour. Joao did a great job showing us all the major attractions.. He is pleasant and knowledgeable. Joao shared interesting information about the sites and history. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. He drove safely. We had ample time to enjoy the attractions and take pictures. We did not feel rushed. Lunch on our own was in a restaurant by the sea. Excellent recommendation from our guide. Communications from the company was excellent. We received a message prior to our tour date to confirm time, pick up location and tour guide. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommend this tour.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sintra Private Tour from Lisbon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Sintra Private Tour from Lisbon cost?
+
Prices start at €65 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 Private Tour from Lisbon 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 Private Tour from Lisbon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 305 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 Private Tour 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 Private Tour from Lisbon 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 Private Tour from Lisbon?
+
Around 107 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 Private Tour 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.
