So cool!
It was so cool! The palaces were awesome! So many incredible views and things to see. Every time I went further it was something even cooler. Our time in the town was nice and even better with the local sweet treat provided. The castle was much like the palaces in how the views and everything there were just amazing! Susana was our driver and your guide and she was wonderful! She was punctual. On top of that she took care and thought of everything. She took pictures, gave us waters, pointed out the bathrooms and had so much knowledge. Susana made the experience that much better. I highly recommend this tour and Susana.

Had a wonderful day on our tour of Sintra. Nuno was a perfect gentleman and looked after our every need. He did his best to get us to the Pena Castle before the crowds. He was a wealth of knowledge. Worth every. Beautiful sunny day. Highly recommend.

Beautiful architecture for the castle and palace
Castle was historic and tedious to climb to the top.Palace was beautifully decorated and organized. Fortunately while visiting the castle there was sunshine and when visiting the palace it started raining. Since it was inside it was alright, may have been able take better pictures outside overlooking the palace if we had sunshine.
Response from the operator: Dear Pryia, Thank you so much for your kind review. That's so good to know that you had enjoyed your tour with us. You can't imagine how important it is to all our team to receive this amazing feedback. Hope we can see you back. Kind regards, Margarida

Great day and tour.
We were unable to visit the Moorish Castle due to weather damage but instead toured the National Palace. Our guide Simone was very knowledgeable of the history and background of each site. The pace of the tour was just right. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Anna, Thank you so much for your kind review. It's so good to know that you had enjoyed our tour. Unfortunately due to the bad weather consequences we couldn't visit the Moorish Castle but we always give another solution for our traveler's :) We are very happy to know that you enjoyed it. Hope we have the chance to see you back. Kind regards, Margarida

A wonderful experience!
Great guided tour. Joao was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot of Portugal history and both past and present culture. Due to a recent storm, some of the roads were impassable but Margarida and Joao had contingency plans in place. Very professional! We had a great time.
Response from the operator: Dear Erik, Thank you so much. You can't imagine how important it is to have this wonderful feedback of our travellers. It was a pleasure having such a nice group with us. Thank you so much for the wonderful day. Hope we can see you back soon. Kind regards, Margarida

Sintra Tour with Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Sintra Tour with Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private cost?
+
Prices start at €135 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, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private 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, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Tour with Pena Palace, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private?
+
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, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private 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, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private?
+
Around 6 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, Moorish Castle and Regaleira - Private 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.
