Janean Richards2023-03-08Fabulous trip to Sintra this afternoon. Diogo was friendly, punctual and very knowledgeable about Portuguese history. He introduced me to Travesseiro pastry, a Ginja shot and the Boca do Inferno. Highly recommend
Lance Diaresco2023-02-25Several friends from across Europe & America flew to Portugal to celebrate my birthday. Robin proved to be an excellent organiser. His service is top-notch! Since we are a big group, Robin booked a nice bus and arranged a wonderful itinerary for Sintra. He was fun to work with and he also quickly became friends to my guests. Aside from Robin, we also appreciate Diogo who is an engaging storyteller. He is very knowledgeable about the history, and he made the entire tour interesting. I highly recommend doing a full-day tour of Sintra. Aside from the beautiful palaces, we also enjoyed lunch in a local Portuguese restaurant. We ended the tour, appreciating sunset in Cabo da Roca, the most western point of continental Europe. All my guests had a great day. Our reunion in Sintra is a memory of a lifetime.
joe allen2023-02-24Robin and his team at Lisbon Sintra Tours really looked after me through every step of the process, from deciding where to go, timings, and squeezing as much into the time we had available. The tour itself was fantastic! Our guide was super friendly and professional, and couldn't have worked harder to make the day a massive success. I can honestly recommend these guys they went out of their way to look after me and my group.
Benjamin Duvall2023-02-09Diogo and Robin were incredible guides, and not only provided scholarly details on every part of our trip, from history to pop culture, but also hunted our an amazing restaurant just off the beaten path. I’ve been on dozens of tours all over the world and this company is at the top - perfectly balancing professionalism with a relaxed and stress-free vibe, a combination that only comes from experience.

Stephen Adler2022-07-14This review begins with our tremendous thanks and appreciation for what was the most amazing and memorable time in Portugal. Diego was - professional, engaging, kind, generous and a true pleasure to spend time with. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and learning more about Portugal/Lisboa from him. He truly went out of his way and above and beyond to ensure our visit was everything we could have hoped for and more! Please consider us your champions! We look forward to our paths crossing again.

A Typical Day Tour From Lisbon to Sintra
Our full day tours really pack in as much as you possibly can in one day. Typically we start by driving to Sintra. We will pick you up from your accommodation wherever it is in Lisbon. The earlier the better.
The morning in Sintra typically includes a trip to the Pena National Palace and Park, and a choice of one or two other palaces before lunch.
Lunch can be taken in Sintra, which also affords a great opportunity to have a look around the old town. Depending on how the morning went, we tend to visit one or two palaces or gardens after lunch in Sintra.
And then head out of the town to pick up some additional sites on the coast such as Cabo da Roca, the most Westerly point of mainland Europe, Cascais and Estoril, Carcavelos, and even Ericeira if that is a priority for you.

- Nazaré
- Alentejo
Beyond Lisbon, our tours and travel options spread far and wide throughout Portugal. Whether you need transport for business, or holidays, or if you're looking for a guided tour, our team have knowledge and expertise on all regions of Portugal.
Portugal is small enough that you can visit many different regions and return to Lisbon within a day's trip. Such examples include Fatima, Tomar, Nazaré and even Alentejo.
The journey by car to Porto is almost exactly 200 miles. Without making any stops you could expect the journey to take around 3 hours. This can also make for a really nice 1 day tour, including visits to Santarem, Alcobaca, Coimbra and Aveiro. Or even a multi-day tour with stopovers where you would like to explore one of the destinations more fully. Coimbra alone is worth a few days when you have the opportunity.
