We booked this private small group tour that gets you into Pena park. We saw Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira had lunch in Sintra which we got to choose based on recommendations from our super amazing guide Filipa! Wonderful itinerary for must see spots when visiting main land Portugal.
Highly recommend this one. Will be back again with our kids – we loved it that much.

Overview of your tour
Just a 30-minute drive from Lisbon, Sintra is a fairytale town on many travelers’ list of must-see destinations. We’ll begin our private Sintra exploration with bright and early hotel pick-up in Lisbon to beat the crowds. From there, we’ll spend the entire morning exploring the extensive grounds of Pena Park and take in the extravagant architecture of the palace.
We’ll then venture into the town center to enjoy lunch in a typical Portuguese restaurant (at your own cost) before traveling to Azenhas do Mar — a picturesque clifftop village well worth a visit! Whitewashed houses perch on the cliff’s edge, and from here, we can appreciate 360-degree views out over the ocean.
Continuing along the coast, we’ll make our way to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, to soak up views over the Atlantic Ocean. Finish your day at the beach town of Cascais, located on the Portuguese Riviera, just in time for a gelato! We’ll take the scenic route back to Lisbon, passing sandy beaches, quaint fishing towns, and monuments to Portuguese discoveries.

Private Sintra Tour
Joao, the guide, was great. Very informative and friendly. The early pickup (8am) meant we got to Pena before the crowds arrived. This made a big difference to seeing an amazing building. I would definitely recommend and would consider their other tours.
