Traveler reviews
Sintra, Pena and Regaleira Tour
Hugo was the most informative guide we have had in the three cities we visited in Portugal. He had a way of explaining history using stories as well as facts. Sintra is a lovely small village worthy of spending at least 2-3 days in. Pena Palace is beautiful with many architectural styles throughout. But our favorite was Regaleira. A mystical, beautiful palace with massive natural gardens and the mystical Initiation Well with the spiral staircase taking you underground into caves for you to explore. I wish we had 3-4 hours to explore it. When you sign up for a tour make sure it includes tickets. They sell out.
Great day trip to see more than just Lisbon City
Decided to take a trip out of Lisbon city. Our original trip was cancelled so we booked the Sintra trip instead. We were so glad we did. Our guide Ana took our small group of 8 people on this 9hr trip to see Pena Palace, then Regaleira palace with its famous well. Finished up with a visit to the beautiful coast at Cascais town. Be warned, there are steep walks up to both castles.
Best tour
Best tour with Benny! Everything was above and beyond. Definitely recommend (and request Benny)
Steep hills but worth it
Exhausting day , those hills nearly did us in ! Need to be able to climb steep hills . Sintra was beautiful the gardens were impressive . Pena Palce very colourful and interesting . We also went to the most western point of Portugal and then to Cascaus to walk along the beach front . What a way to finish the day off . There was also lunch at a winery but due to my husband’s dietary restrictions we didn’t eat the meal . It looked and smelt delicious. A very long day at a fairly fast pace but worthwhile doing
Great tour of southern Portugal
Great day trip that was timed well and let us see lots of sites! We had an 11 year old with us and it was great. Some walking uphill FYI. Ruben was a great guide!
