2.Lisbon: Sintra Private Day Trip with Pena Palace & Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 226 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $302

Spend about eight hours exploring Sintra in a private air-conditioned van with an English-speaking guide. Visit Pena Palace, taste a Travesseiro pastry, stop for Colares wine, and see Cabo da Roca, Guincho Beach, and Cascais.

“If you can manage it, the long walk up the mountain through the gardens is beautiful. The views once at the top are worth the climb. Sintra is a very pretty town and I would have liked more time there. Our guide Roma was lovely and as a local of Sintra was able to select the perfect restaurant for lunch. The food was authentic Portuguese and pricing was very reasonable. I would have liked a little more history, anecdotes and information about the sites. Roma was helpful and we felt very comfortable and safe.”

Travel from Lisbon to Sintra with a small group of up to 15, explore Pena Palace gardens with a guide such as Flávio, then visit a Mafra winery for six wines, local bites, and an old wine press house.

“My friends and I LOVED this tour!! Our guide, Flávio, was insightful throughout the tour, along with making the day so fun. Also, the wine tour was so amazing. The history behind each of the wines along with the tasting made them all much more interesting and delightful. Each of the wines were very unique, and so great in their own ways. This is a great way to spend a half day during your visit to Lisbon!”
