VIP Sintra Tour from Lisbon with Private Access to Pena Palace

This trip was amazing our tour guide Jamie was outstanding. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all the places we visited. Our driver Carmelo was also friendly and a great driver. All the places were awesome and the Palace was the stuff fairy tales are made of

This private tour was the highlight of our trip! Getting early access to Pena Palace was magical — no crowds, just stunning views and peaceful moments. Our guide Cecila was absolutely wonderful: kind, knowledgeable, and great with our whole family. Our driver Joseph was also terrific. They made the day fun, relaxed, and full of fascinating stories. Sintra was beautiful, and everything was perfectly planned. Highly recommended for families looking for a special, stress-free experience!

The exclusive visit before the castle's opening hours was one of the best of my life. The chance to visit without other people in the castle is really special and unique because it makes you feel like a princess. Our guide Anastasia was really good at telling us the historical details but also funny and curious news. I recommend the visit to everyone, if possible with Anastasia who also gave us advice on what to eat and other places to see. Thank you very much Anastasia!

I recently splurged on the Sintra day trip with exclusive access to Pena Palace. Paying extra for early access to the Palace was worth it! Arriving before the general crowds was quite magical - having those first peaceful moments to explore the stunning architecture and take photos without dodging other tourists was priceless. The private transportation, by our driver Antonio, between sites was comfortable and efficient, maximizing our time at each location rather than struggling with public transit or parking. Our guide, Jaime, was the highlight of the experience. His passion for Portuguese history and architecture was immediately evident, but what truly elevated the tour was his ability to weave philosophy into the historical narrative. Jaime didn't just recite dates and facts; he connected the castle's story to broader human themes and cultural movements in a way that brought everything to life. The way he explained the symbolism in the architecture and gardens revealed layers of meaning I would have completely missed on my own. His deep love and connection to both history and philosophy made the experience intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. For anyone who values an immersive cultural experience without the hassle of crowds, this package is worth the price. It transformed what could have been a rushed, crowded sightseeing day into one of the highlights of my trip to Portugal.
