    Three Palaces + Sintra area day tour

    I had wanted to just visit the Sintra area and not surrounding coastal areas so this was the perfect tour. Fernando helped us navigate thru the confusing Sintra palace tour itinerary of where to start and where to meet him at each location. This helped greatly as the area is so hilly and walking paths are so steep. We enjoyed our day and felt we had adequate time at each location even though it was so crowded at Pena Palace and in the town of Sintra, but as we found out throughout Portugal, this is the norm. Having picked us up at our hotel, on time, and listening to stories and facts about the area and Portugal, as he drove us to and from Sintra I would highly recommend Fernando for your touring needs.

    Response from the operator: Hi Mrs. Katherine! I really appreciate your testimonial regarding our Sintra Tour. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it so much, all your comments are very generous. I hope you enjoyed Portugal and look forward to returning one day, I will be here to welcome you enthusiastically. I wish you all the best! Kind regards from your friend Fernando Chim

    The best trip to Portugal

    This was our first time hiring a private tour guide and I can tell you that Fernando made our trip to Portugal the best. We used him for both our transfers to and from the airport and then again for two different day tours. It was so good to not have to worry about where we were going. Fernando was so knowledgeable and told us the history of the places we visited. As he said we come as strangers and leave as friends.

    Response from the operator: Hi Mr. Peter! I really appreciate your testimonial regarding our journey. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it so much, all your comments are very generous. I hope you enjoyed Portugal and look forward to returning one day, I will be here to welcome you enthusiastically. I wish you all the best! Kind regards from your portuguese friend! Fernando Chim

    Full day tour in Sintra with Fernando was amazing!

    Fernando was amazing! He was very communicative about our itinerary. He arrived promptly on the day of the tour. We learned so much about Sintra as he was driving. At each stop he was careful to tell us where to meet him after our tour was done and he communicated with us on Whatsapp to help us when we got lost. He suggested an amazing lunch spot in the heart of downtown Sintra. When we told him we had dinner reservations in Lisbon that evening he was able to adjust the tour to our needs. When he found out about the rest of our travel itinerary in Portugal he typed up a list of helpful tips and suggestions for each spot, which was so kind! More than anything, Fernando was simply a joy to have as our guide. We came away feeling like we’d made a friend in Portugal!

    Response from the operator: Hi Mrs. Devon Smith! I really appreciate your testimonial regarding our Sintra Tour. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it so much, all your comments are very generous.

    Day trip to Sintra

    My husband and I truly enjoyed our time with Fernando! He was so knowledgeable, accommodating, informative and kind. He enjoys his work and loves sharing Portugal with you! His recommendations were perfect, he really understood what we liked to do. He showed us so many wonderful views and his recommendation to visit the Pena Palace first was the right call.

    Response from the operator: Hi Mrs. & Mr. Richards! I really appreciate your testimonial regarding our Sintra Tour. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it so much, all your comments are very generous. I hope you enjoyed Portugal and look forward to returning one day, I will be here to welcome you enthusiastically.

    Tour SINTRA (full day): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.

    How much does Tour SINTRA (full day) cost?

    +

    Prices start at €30 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 Tour SINTRA (full day) 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 Tour SINTRA (full day) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Tour SINTRA (full day)?

    +

    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 Tour SINTRA (full day) 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 Tour SINTRA (full day)?

    +

    Around 4 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 Tour SINTRA (full day) 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.

    What is included in Tour SINTRA (full day)?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; Car charger for mobile phone; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance tickets to monuments, museums and attractions; Consume food and drinks inside the vehicle; Lunch (the cost of the meal is not included in the tour price); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Tour SINTRA (full day) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 384 listed pickup locations in and around Lisbon. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Tour SINTRA (full day) 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.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tour SINTRA (full day)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Tour SINTRA (full day) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Tour SINTRA (full day) if the weather is bad?

    +
