Sintra Tour Reviews
“The highlight was Lionel our driver!!”
Lionel was just amazing. He was so professional from start to finish. The people carrier was very clean and very comfortable. His driving was very good and safe. I am a v good driver myself and not always a good passenger. The drive up to Sintra & Pena Palace would certainly test the best of them. I had booked the 14.30 slot at the palace when should have booked the 15.00. Lionel warned us and was very concerned that we would not be allowed in. As luck would have it we got in with 2 seconds to spare!! The palace itself was very interesting and the views were great. We then stopped in Sintra village on the way and did some relaxed shopping. Lionel was again very helpful answering our questions and making recommendations on the way back. It was great fun all round. Our party varied in age from 14 to 69 and everybody enjoyed it thoroughly. Definitely 5 STARS. Anne (Hennessy)

“Crowds in Sintra”
We had the most amazing guide today,unfortunately Sintra was a big disappointment. The crowds were beyond our experience. Something is very wrong with the management of the site. I would never recommend it to anyone. DIEGO was the only thing that made the day good

“Excellent Day with Francisco”
We had a wonderful 8 hour tour of four palaces in Sintra. Firstly, even though we had a rental car, this is not a tour that we could have done on our own. The maze of streets and few hidden parking spots would have likely meant that we would have has to miss sites. Also, gps doesn’t work on the volcanic mountain. Second, he has an excellent knowledge of the sites, and of Portuguese and world history. He also is an excellent story teller, and a great guy. Francisco picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which was helpful. Moreover, he grew up in Sintra, and now lives nearby so he knows a lot of people, and picked an excellent, simple local restaurant for lunch. If we did it again, would spend an extra night in Sintra and do a second day of touring with him. Highly recommend a tour with him.

Private Tours in Sintra
Discover the enchanting sights of Sintra with your own local tour guide. Experience customized travel, easy access, time-saving schedules and more in Portugal’s classical region.
Hiring a private tour guide gives you a more flexible and relaxed itinerary. Unlike traditional group tours with rigid schedules, a private guide can adjust the pace and timing of your tour based on your preferences and energy levels. Whether you want to spend extra time exploring the lush gardens of the National Palace or prefer a leisurely lunch at a local eatery sampling Portuguese delicacies, your guide will accommodate your wishes. This flexibility makes the experience far more enjoyable and less exhausting, especially given Sintra’s hilly terrain and the abundance of attractions to see.
Moreover, private guides often have insider knowledge and local connections that can enhance your visit in unexpected ways. They can recommend the best times to visit certain sites to avoid crowds, suggest the most scenic spots for photography, and share stories and legends that you won’t find in guidebooks. This local expertise not only enriches your understanding of Sintra’s heritage but also immerses you in the local culture, making your visit genuinely unique and memorable.
