Discover the best of Sintra on a half-day tour.
This guided tour was designed for those who want to know Sintra in a comfortable, organized way and without crowds.
We start with pick-up directly at your hotel or Airbnb in the centre of Lisbon, then head to the Villa de Sintra, where you can stroll through the historic center and taste the traditional regional sweets.
If you select the respective options, we will visit the Palace of Pena (outside) and the Quinta da Regaleira.
Unlike most tours, the Guide will always be with you. We don't leave it at the door for independent visits. The Guide accompanies you throughout the journey, leading you directly to the main attractions, explaining the history of each place, and helping you capture the best moments in photography.
You won’t have to worry about buying tickets. We take care of everything for you, ensuring a quiet and seamless experience.
