Full description

Benefit from a guided tour inside the Quinta Regaleira and Pena Palace. Fall in love with Sintra, a village full of magic and mystery, the lasting symbol of Portugal's Romantic period and also classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Opt to treat yourself and your loved ones to a private experience with your own guide and pickup from your own hotel. Alternatively, you can get picked up from a convenient location in the center of Lisbon. Accompanied by a tour guide, visit Quinta da Regaleira and enjoy its lush gardens, lakes, grottoes, and enigmatic constructions, including the world-famous Initiation Well. Uncover the mysteries of each place and learn about the orders of the Freemasons and the Knights Templar. During the lunch break in Sintra's old town, you will have free time to explore the historical and charming streets. You will also have time to taste the traditional pastry, travesseiro.

After buying your entry ticket with your guide, step into a fairy tale when you enter the romantic Pena Palace and Park. Understand its unique architectural expression of Romanticism. Spot how it blends many styles, including Gothic, neo-Manueline, neo-Islamic, and neo-Renaissance. Stroll around the park with its astonishing variety of plants and trees. Marvel at the palace's amazing views of the castle and the Atlantic Ocean, a perfect way to end the day before returning to Lisbon.

Well organized trip that left on time. Guide / driver (Miguel) was experienced, friendly and knowledgeable and allowed us to migrate between the two sites quickly and avoid the lines and crowds. Were previously thinking about taking our own train ride and touring on our own, but learned much more with Miguel that we would have missed on our own. The price was fair and reasonable.

We had the most amazing time on this trip (despite the rain)! Our tour guides, Hugo & Joao were so knowledgable and passionate about Sintra and this ensured we all had a fantastic experience. What was most impressive was it was Hugo’s first time leading a tour and yet thanks to his passion and attentiveness he ensured it was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! They also recommended a great lunch spot in Sintra town called Tasca Saloia which was lovely. Pena Palace & Regaleira we’re incredible sites as well with beautiful scenery but complimented with the history behind the two sites enhanced the experience to the next level. Overall I’d fully recommend this trip to anyone and if you’re lucky enough to get Joao and Hugo as tour guides then I guarantee you’ll have a fantastic time!

Went with my dad, nephew, wife and 6 month old. I We brought our stroller and our guide was amazing and took it to the exit of places so that we could go in. The sidewalks were cobblestone so the stroller was hard to use sometimes and in some places there was no sidewalk so we held her for most of it. There is a lot of walking (a lot uphill) so if you bring a baby or kid be prepared and wear good shoes. There is also a grotto and the steps in the well are wet so bring ones with good grips. It was amazing overall and totally recommend.
