Guidekin's take

A private minivan day in Sintra built around the National Palace, with Quinta da Regaleira, the Moorish Castle and Pena on the route and hotel pickup in Lisbon.

The driver stays outside: there is no guide inside the monuments, lunch is extra, and a booking needs at least four people. 5 from 65 reviews at €250 per person.

In our comparison: #21 of 50 in Sintra, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
