5.00Catarina was a great tour guide! She is very well informed and made the day great! Pena palace was my favorite part of the entire trip to Portugal. Walking the grounds of Pena Palace felt like you were in an enchanted forest. I would suggest getting the fast pass so you can see as much as possible

5.00We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide, Vicente, was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He made every step of the journey comfortable, enjoyable and informative. The day could not have gone smoother, and Vicente let us go at our own pace. We were extremely impressed with how much we learned. It was shocking to us that this private tour was so inexpensive and had so much value. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an enjoyable, full, and educational experience.
Wonderful. 100% worth the effort

5.00Make sure you take a tour . Parking is far from easy. Prepare yourself for walking. Nothing should be missed. The views are fantastic. Take the bus up to the castle, do not underestimate the effort needed to go up the last hill and down again. Elderly (like me) please note.
Great day!

5.00We had an amazing time touring Sintra and Pena Palace with Nuno. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully curated and personalized to our interests and pace. Nuno is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and culture of the region, but he also brings a warm, personable energy that made the day truly special. He kept the kids (10 and 6) engaged and comfortable. We loved the special touches he added throughout the day. We ate famous pastries in Sintra, had perfectly timed coffee breaks, and an unforgettable seaside lunch. We highly recommend Nuno to anyone looking for a guided experience that’s both enriching and enjoyable for the whole family.
