The best trip to take to Sintra - This is how a day tour should be. Nuno our guide was informative, funny, considerate and generally a fantastic host. We had a great day at the Pena Palace, its gardens, Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. Points of interest and interesting stories all along the trip. If you want to do a trip to Sintra and Pena Palace definitely do this one.

Amazing Day Trip - This tour was magnificent! Our guide, Nuno was extremely knowledgeable & provided so many personal stories about the locations visited that added immensely to our experience. All the sites visited were amazing but I cannot thank Nuno enough for his emphasis on the Pena Palace Gardens. They were by far my favorite site of this trip! Highly recommend this experience-especially if you can secure Nuno as your guide!

One day trip to Sintra - My day tour to Sintra was amazing! Our tour guide Philip is very nice and informative, the time arrangements is just right that you have sufficient time to explore the interesting thing but not rushing you- that’s why I join a small group tour that is more customised and they can even pick up and drop off at your hotel. I will say going inside the Palace Pena is a must - it’s totally worth the money and time to see everything inside the palace. The food at fisher village is great and special. The experience at the most western point of the Europe facing Atlantic Ocean is gigantic that you will never forget. If you want a hassle free day to visit Sintra, I will highly recommend to join a small group tour!

Not to be missed - Went with a tour. Not to be missed. Cascais and surrounding area just spectacular, but I would imagine crowded in season. Sintra Castle is right from Disneyland (or vice versa). Although not as ‘old’ as other European castles, the charm, and opulence, are astounding.

I highly recommend this tour! - This was an excellent all-day tour! Our tour guide John was the best, and really made the day fun, informative and memorable. He took us for a beautiful hike in the park leading to the castle and was a wonderful storyteller - telling us the story of the gardens and the royalty commissioned the park. It was truly special. He gave us history of the castle and the various architecture and building figurines. We then went into town and he provided great restaurant recommendations. We drove to Cabo da Roca and had breathtaking views of the ocean. Then we headed into Cascais for a snack. A wonderful, full day. with a wonderful tour guide! I highly recommend this tour!
