Guidekin's take

A small group Sintra day built around storytelling rather than a checklist, with hotel pickup, photo stops, free time and a tier with the Pena Palace or park ticket.

Lunch is extra, and it may not run in bad weather or below a minimum group size. 4.91 from 137 reviews at €79 per person.

In our comparison: #22 of 38 in Pena Palace, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
