“This is honestly one of the best Sintra Tours from Lisbon I’ve ever taken! I live in Portugal and love travelling with my daughter, and I make it a point to visit Sintra at least once a year. There’s so much more to see and EAT, beyond Pena Palace and Travesseiros. This was by far our most favourite day ever!” Emily Silva - Nazare, Portugal.
Home to the Sintra Castle (Palacio National de Sintra), the Morrish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) and Quinta Regaleira (no translation, but trust me when I say it’s magical) - a visit to SIntra is truly a once in a lifetime experience for many first time visitor’s to Portugal. That is, when you go with the right tour guide, of course 😉
