Reviews
Gustavo is a very professional guide- always taking care of us, looking out for us and full of stories about the area. makes the day trip to Sintra unforgettable!
Excellent tour guide Gustavo, who provided mesmerizing history of each place, and local reccommendations. The 6-seater was comfortable. Right on time arrangements. It was a pleasant tour.
This itinerary is combined with the GetYourGuide group. There are 8 people in the car and the tour guide is very experienced. There are 3 palaces, including a large park next to the palace. If the weather is good and you have time, you can take a forest bath. Most of the monuments have stairs to go up and down, so pushing a stroller can be hard. The roads in the Xintela area are very small, and many places have been planned as single lanes, with no entry or exit. This time we did not go to the small town in the historical center of Sintra. We spent a long time strolling around the Regaleira Palace. There are also many restaurants nearby where you can eat. We returned to the meeting place at 4pm, a very comfortable trip.
We found the itinerary and time were good. I believe it was difficult to travel if we went there on our own. The time management was great and we had a wonderful experience. However, Klook didn’t offer to buy entrance tickets for Quinta da Regaleira, we weren’t able to visit as all tickets were sold out when I checked.
Paulo's tour was very good. He is very knowledgeable and positive! I really enjoyed the day trip to Sintra.
Amazing experience and really nice tour guide! Had a wonderul time exploring Pena palace and Monserrate Palace. What a view!
Sintra and Pena Palace are both beautiful places, but because they are mountain towns, there are many uphills and downhills and stairs. We have elderly people with limited mobility. The tour guide is very considerate and will slow down a little to wait, which is very pleasant. People are moved, and this trip will not be too rushed.
Gustavo was awesome. Truly passionate about history, storytelling, and helping visitors like us feel right at home in the city. The group size of 5 was great too. Would totally recommend. Thank you Gustavo!
Sintra is a beautiful town and Pena Palace is a very unique palace, and it's definitely a must-go if you visit Sintra. The second palace we visited was Monserrate Palace the park and palace (which is small but very beautiful) are well worth a visit and in my opinion more impressive than the Pena Palace. This has a real WOW factor! Our guide was very knowledgable and experienced. We were five participants plus the driver in the bus and it was very comfortable. We had plenty of time to visit the two palaces as well as have a break in Sintra - main square and centre.
Gustavo was great. So knowledgeable and friendly. Smooth ride. Would recommend!
