Spend eight hours with an English-speaking guide such as Kazi or Hossain, traveling by comfortable BMW or VW from Lisbon to Sintra. Visit Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, and Quinta da Regaleira, with time for pastries, lunch, and optional coastal stops at Cabo da Roca and Cascais.
“tour was very nice and well organised. it truly was a wonderful experience with them. good day!”
You’ll visit the Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira with two entry tickets and three self-guided audio tours in English, French, German, or Spanish. Use your phone to explore castle walls, grottoes, wells, palaces, and Sintra’s old center at your own pace.
“Easy to navigate and listen to audio as your walk thru the park. Giving suggestions as to where to walk to.”
Explore Sintra’s Moorish Castle at your own pace with an adult entry ticket and English audio guide on your phone. Walk the ancient walls, Royal Tower, gates, and forest paths, but expect steep steps, uneven stones, wind, and no refreshments inside.
“It was hard to follow the audio guide as the numbers were not displayed throughout the walk. The walk along the castle walls was a great experience though.”
Visit Sintra’s Moorish Castle independently with an adult e-ticket and downloadable audio guide in English, German, Spanish, or French. Your phone provides narration, maps, and offline text as you explore the Castle Keep, Royal Tower, walls, tomb, and medieval Christian necropolis at your own pace.
“Poor! Your website is confusing and not user-friendly. We booked what was advertised as a “tour”, expecting a live person to meet us at the given “meeting location” and “specified time”. Nobody arrived! After calling and messaging on WhatsApp, we were told it was actually a self-guided audio tour. The audio did not even start at the meeting point, and it was extremely unclear which recordings matched which sites and where to start. We ended up wandering around aimlessly trying to guess where each track applied. In frustration, I turned it off and explored on my own. The biggest waste of money ever!”
Spend eight hours with an English-speaking guide such as Neel, Nayem, Saif, or Hossein, traveling by air-conditioned vehicle from Lisbon, Cascais, or Costa da Caparica. Visit Sintra’s palaces, castle ruins, Atlantic viewpoints, and nearby coastal towns, with time to shape the day around your interests.
“Nayem gave us a great tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely book him again next time we are in Lisbon.”
Pick a hill, a palace, a deck or a table.
