Early access Peña Palace with Jaime - Jaime was the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge was exceptional. The timing of the visits was perfect. Recommend the early access as we had the palace to ourselves.

A magical experience!! - I had the best time on this tour. Alicia was our guide and she was so knowledgeable and entertaining. She knows a lot about the history of the area and places we visited and even had little funny anecdotes. To experience the Palácio da Pena before opening hours, in the early morning light and foggy mist was truly magical and unique. I have been to Sintra before but never like this. I learned so much. Big thank you to Walks, Alicia and our driver Nuno!

Totally worth the EARLY ENTRY - Best money spent. The early entry was TOTALLY WORTH IT. We got to tour the palace with nobody else there. By the time we were leaving, people were lining up to start their visit.
Borja our guide was amazing. Super knowledgeable, and very kind with my mom helping her walk down the hill while it was raining.
We toured Cascais and stopped at Cabo de Roca.
Highly recommend this particular tour.

An unforgettable, magical experience at Pena Palace! - This was an incredible experience, far beyond what I expected. The private access to the famous Pena Palace was amazing, we had plenty of time to explore every detail. Being inside the Palace alone...I felt so privileged. We fully appreciate the mystical atmosphere of Sintra without feeling rushed. And the views! They were absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable.
Our guide, Jaime, was fantastic, an expert in storytelling and a great leader who managed the group beautifully. The drive to Sintra was smooth and comfortable, and I'm so glad we chose this option. It would have been tiring to do this on our own.
I highly recommend this experience and would definitely do it again!
