The whole fifth of Regaleira, the palace is sorry and the cape is rocky. - Our guide, Marina, was very professional and friendly. The tour is beautiful. The tour is very well planned and we could tour the palace and the fifth in comfort. I recommend it.

One of a Kind Must See... - This is truly a one of a kind must see if you're in Sintra. Our guide Jorge was extremely knowledgeable about the property and it's history. Strongly encourage travelers to book a tour, if not you'll walk right by cool points of interest and the legends behind them.

Nope - Beautiful place, but tour left a lot to be desired. Tour was short. Not a lot of explanation. Tour guide was nice, but redundant with words and kept excusing why sites were full. Felt ripped off, could’ve done it on my own
