Fantastic day tour! - We had a fantastic experience on this tour and our guide, Filipe was awesome! Filipe was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient with us! He provided a lot of great details and background history on every attraction that we visited, and was happy to answer every question we had. The palace was def. the highlight of the tour, and we learned so much about Portugese culture and history. Overall the tour and our guide Filipe are 10/10! Would highly recommend!

Not to be missed - It was the best option for our short stay in Lisbon.We got the best of the historical sites within reachable distance in a comfortable full day trip. Sintra Tours arranged a minivan for the 4 of us,took us from the hotel and asigned Rodrigo as our guide. Rodrigo is a very gifted profesional who fed us with a lot of historical+cultural information and catered very well our party ( in our 70ies). Umbeatable price,also.

A must if you visit Lisbon - ask for Filipe! - Our guide Filipe was just outstanding! We went to the castle first. Filipe was a wealth of knowledge, answering all of our questions and giving us some great insights on this most interesting place. A group of 5 adults, our guide shared some very interesting info the entire tour. Sintra is definitely worth the trip. Cascais is also a place worth seeing and Regalera was a nice little town. At the end, Filipe was one of the best guide I had ever had! Well done!

A Fantastic Day Tour to Sintra, Pena Palace, and Cascais! - The Day Tour to Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, and Cascais was an incredible experience from start to finish! Filipe was fantastic – knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly passionate about the history and beauty of each location we visited. Sintra is like stepping into a fairy tale, and the Pena Palace is truly a highlight – its vibrant colors and stunning architecture are awe-inspiring. We also had the chance to explore the magical Regaleira Estate, with its mysterious gardens and fascinating history. Both sites are breathtaking and easily some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The tour also included a visit to the charming seaside town of Cascais, where we had time to stroll along the coast and enjoy its picturesque streets. The pace of the tour was perfect, with enough time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. The small group size made it feel personal and allowed for plenty of interaction with our guide. It was the ideal way to see some of Portugal’s most iconic sights in one day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon – it’s a must-do!

Fun day trip with a lot of options for each place! - I had a great time on this tour - Filipe was a great guide and provided historical information about places as we drove around. I appreciated the flexibility of the tour. There were two options at Pena Palace - either go on a tour of the castle, or explore the grounds. At Sintra, you had the option of exploring the palace, the town, or going to Regaleria (cost not included). Cascais was the lunch spot and you had unstructured time to explore the town, which was nice. Thank you Filipe for a fun day - and for even pointing out Portugal's president to us in Cascais so that we could get photos with him!

Thankful for Felipe’s guide and knowledge! - We had an outstanding experience with Filipe exploring Sintra and Cascais areas. It was a very full day but we never wished for it to end. Felipe was incredibly knowledgeable and enjoyable. He answered all kinds of questions and seems to really enjoy his job and sharing this beautiful area with visitors! I know you can take the train to Sintra from Lisbon on your own and navigate it without a guide but it was such a relief to have Felipe and I felt we got so much more out of the day with his vast knowledge. We appreciated everything!
