Private Tour Sintra With Wine Tastings

Great day!

It was a nonstop day of fun enjoying the beauty of Sintra. We enjoyed the long lunch at a local restaurant.

Clarity on the description would’ve helped in setting expectatiion

Phillip was good , he had some great recommendations and was engaging . The description of the tour was deceiving. Based on the description we had a different idea of how the wine tasting will be which was different from how it was described . But sintra was beautiful and Philip was spot on and had done good insights .

Day tour of Sintra

We booked the day trip to Sintra with a stop at a wine vineyard. Our guide, Luis, was very knowledgeable about the area and Portugal as a whole. The tour included a stop at a local cafe where we had the opportunity to try the regional desserts, which are far tastier than the pastel de nata and something we never would have experienced on our own. Luis warned us that Sintra would be very busy and full of tourists, but we did not anticipate the amount of traffic that we would have to sit in to get to Pena Palace. Once you arrive at the park there is then another wait if you want to see the insides of the palace, which we were fine with not seeing. If Pena Palace is the main reason you are doing the tour I would recommend discussing with your guide and starting at Pena Palace first. In addition to Pena Palace, we also made stops in the town, at a local vineyard (Adega Regional de Colares), and Cabo da Roca - the westernmost point of continental Europe. Overall, we enjoyed the day and the places we saw along the way.
