Sintra

Enjoyed the day, Elimio also is amazing! had so much fun and learned things too from him. We added the entrance ticket at the start of the tour to be able to come inside the palace grounds. Overall, so worth the money, thanks so much!

Purchasing Sintra tickets through Klook is convenient; you can directly scan the barcode on your voucher for entry. However, remember the voucher states "There is no delay tolerance," so arrive early to queue for entry. The Google Maps distance from the park entrance to Pena Palace is a 10-minute walk, but it's actually a *steep hill*, so allow extra time to walk there at a leisurely pace. There's also a shuttle bus in the park that runs every 15 minutes (the bus takes 3 minutes to reach Pena Palace). However, the Klook ticket doesn't include the bus, so if you want to ride it, remember to buy a ticket at the park entrance first. Otherwise, even if you've waited in line and are about to board, you'll be turned away (they only accept it if you go back to buy a ticket and rejoin the line; you can't pay on the bus). So, manage your time well, or you might end up sprinting up the steep hill like I did, fearing you'd be late and denied entry. But, I actually bought an 11:00 AM ticket, and after running up, I realized they hadn't even started letting the 11:00 AM group in yet. Everyone with 11:00 AM tickets was still outside waiting to enter. So, if you're feeling bold, you might be able to arrive at the palace gate by 11:30 AM (but this might be because it was a holiday and more crowded...). Anyway, to be safe, allow plenty of extra time!

Absolutely stunning place. Quinta da Regaleira feels like stepping into a fairytale, beautiful gardens, mysterious tunnels, and breathtaking architecture. We loved exploring every corner. Highly recommended!

I went to the fountain meeting point early in the morning with anticipation, but I suggest that the meeting point should be marked more clearly, because there are two fountains, so it is easy to be unclear which one is the meeting point. As the time approached, I contacted the organizer via WhatsApp. Fortunately, it was very convenient to communicate in English. On the itinerary, the tour leader was very lively and interesting! When it's time to rest, he will also say, "Okay, now everyone and I need to rest. In 00 time, we will be where." We spent a relaxing and comfortable car ride. At each attraction, he would explain the history, culture, and significance, as well as some interesting anecdotes! If your TOEIC English score is above 650, you can try to sign up for the English tour 👍. However, there is one complaint: the bus air conditioner broke down and the return trip took nearly 2-2.5 hours. The poor condition of the car plus the stuffiness was really uncomfortable, and I almost vomited! Fortunately, at the last moment, we finally arrived at the place to get off the bus and felt much more comfortable.

lots of places covered was a great trip but very tiring due to heavy traffic. Catarina was an amazing local guide and great story teller that helped us with the importance of each place that we visited including history of Portugal.Good morning tea pastry and lunch recommendations provided n met some lovely people from all around the world in this trip. there is a lot of climbing n walking so prople should wear comfortable sports shoes

Park was pretty good. Iconic colours seen from all the photos. No need for palace entry, this is sufficient to see the courtyard. ticket access smooth

Camilla is a very nice and helpful tour guide. We didn’t buy the entrance ticket for Quinta Regeira and Pena Palace, she is very nice to advice us to purchase the Pena Palace park exterior ticket to visit the Pena Palace. Thanks to her and we were grateful that we bought the park ticket and didn’t miss the wonderful view of Pena Palace. We also didn’t buy the lunch and she is nice to recommend us the restaurants. She takes a good care of us and other guests. Not to forget the driver ( sorry for forgetting his name) also awesome. Both Camilla and the driver did a good job! Definitely worth 5 stars.

Day trip in a minivan with 7 others - comfortable and convenient to visit tourist-packed Sintra! Had time for a quick walk and pastries in Sintra, and lunch in Caiscais. 👍

It is worth going to, but it's a bit confusing once you're inside. There are a bunch of unmarked paths winding through the castle area. It would be nice if there were signs and or maps posted at various points on the Castle grounds. download a map of the area before you go.
