We chose the VIP morning tour of Pena Palace with a visit to Quinta da Regaleira. We had the palace to our group of 3 (with our tour guide - Cecelia) for a little over an hour before the castle opened to the general public. Our driver was able to drop us off right at the castle gate instead of the lower shuttle entrance. Cecelia was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. We were able to stop for pastries and coffee on the charming town of Sintra. And we truly enjoyed our visit to Quinta da Regalaria. We could not help but to contrast the crowds and traffic from our early morning visit to the palace to our post palace experience. Sintra is flooded with visitors after 10a even in mid October. We were spoiled by our experience with Cecelia.

I could not imagine doing a Sintra tour any other way. Just as our tour was concluding, there were what seemed like hundreds of people waiting to enter the palace. Our tour guide Alicia was very informed about the palace.

Sintra is absolutely one of a kind! Entering Pena Palace an hour before the public was an unforgettable experience—our small group of ten had the entire palace to ourselves for a full hour. It felt truly magical, and I can’t imagine visiting any other way. That alone was worth the price of the tour! But there was so much more to enjoy. Our guide, Raquele, was incredible—warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Portugal and Sintra. She brought the history of each place to life in such a fun and engaging way. We also had some free time at the end to explore the town, and Raquele’s food recommendations were spot-on. As a solo traveler, I loved meeting others in the group and sharing the experience together. This isn’t my first tour with Walks of Europe, and once again they exceeded my expectations. Their guides are consistently top-notch, and this tour was no exception.

Magical and incredible excursion: we really loved our day! We chose the Sintra excursion with a visit to Quinta da Regaleira and the Pena Palace with VIP access: we had the palace privatized for us, after closing to the public, it was just incredible and unreal!! We were super excited to see the palace empty with no one inside, since it's usually a crowded place. Our guide Ann-Elisa was super nice and wanted to make us happy by sharing her knowledge. The ride was super comfy and chill in the air-conditioned mini van. I totally recommend this activity It's worth the price
