The ONLY way to visit Sintra!
The ONLY way to see Sintra. Worth every penny. What a pleasant day! Our guide, João, was a gem. He was professional, courteous, and gracious. He taught us so much about the area and its history. He is a consummate professional, and it is clear that he loves his work. Our tour included the Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, and the Park and Palace of Monserrate. We were transported in a lovely Mercedes Benz van that was clean and comfortable. João also recommended a nice restaurant in the town, (Tasca Saloia) for lunch, and we were given plenty of time (1 1/2 hours) on our own to eat and walk around the shops. We highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Rodney, Thank you so much for your kind review. That's so good to know that you had enjoyed your tour with us. It was a pleasure doing this private tour with you. Hope we have the chance to see you back. Kind regards, Margarida

Sintra Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Sintra Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $337 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 Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour 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 Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour?
+
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 Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour 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 Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour?
+
Around 3 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 Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour 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, Escape Hunt Experience. 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.
What is included in Sintra Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour?
+

Does Sintra Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 376 listed pickup locations in and around Lisbon. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sintra Tour with Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace- Private Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
