Great experience! - Rodrigo was an excellent and knowledgeable guide! The sites were beautiful, and we had enough time to wander around, take pictures, and try some delicious food in Sintra. I would definitely recommend taking this tour!

Friendly, fun and full of information 😊 - We had a great day trip with our really friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide Alex in Sintra. It was a small group and so we had lots of chances to ask questions. It was a good mix of guided activities and free time. Sintra is very magical and being part of a guided tour helped beat the crowded queues and focus on the magic. Thanks Alex for a great time. Niamh and Calvin, Ireland

Solo traveller, loved my Sintra experience - My tour guide was Diogo and he was amazing! So knowledgable, entertaining and approachable. The communication and organisation was top notch as well. It was easy to find the meeting point and the travel was very smooth and efficient. Sintra itself was incredible. Such a unique place, full of history and incredible views and architecture at every turn. I would 100% recommend!

Great guide and afternoon - We were lucky to get a last minute tour of Quinta de Regaleira and we’re looked after brilliantly by Victoria - who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and guided us around this wonderful place with lots of interesting facts and information about the architecture and thoughts behind the design. A lovely afternoon. Highly recommend Victoria. Thank you 🙏🏻

Nice tour and trip - Guide was very nice and took care of the group regarding queues and distances. Gave us insight about Sintra and the gardens. We did not expect having to pay the entrance fee as we thought it was included, but overall worth it and interesting!

Be prepared to walk, greta views though. - It is a lot of walking that is worth the views and sites. A short 35-minute drive from Lisbon. The meeting point was a bit disorganized, my instructions said clearly "look for the red flag", there was never a red flag in place, and checking was confusing as other tours were in the same place also checking in. The guide was ok, instructions and leading weak, good information. Fare for what is the price. If you have any issues walking take a private tour, and also you will save a lot of time just waiting in long lines.

Not good - Dear tugatrips tour, Hope this email finds you well. I have never had this before and I have never done this but the tour was not what was expected. There where no explanations on the background about Sintra or it's buildings and the tour around the Regaleira palace was fast (30min less than what was booked) and just mentioning small points or details. We where really looking forward to do this activity and booked a guide and not an audio tour to get more background and information of the amazing palace and this was not the case. 24 EUR per person for a walk, pastry and tips is overpriced with the guidance received. Hope this is read and useful for you as this is not usual. Kind regards,

Terrible experience in beautiful Sintra - We had a very bad experince in this trip. Very unprofessional guide, not passionate, talks softly and didn;t care for us all to hear the little information she gave us, Little information if at all at every point. Like walking with audio guide alone but much less information. Regaleria however was beautiful. Terrible experience.
