Our day trip from Lisbon to Sintra and Pena Palace was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Flavio. From the start, he brought energy and enthusiasm, setting a perfect tone for the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Portuguese history and culture, which made the whole experience feel both educational and enjoyable.
The journey from Lisbon to Sintra was smooth, and Flavio kept us entertained with interesting facts about the area, the history of Sintra, and some local legends. Sintra itself felt like a step back in time—a magical, charming village surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful architecture. Flavio knew all the best spots for photos and took us to some hidden gems off the beaten path, making the experience even more unique.
Our visit to Pena Palace was the highlight of the trip. Flavio’s insights about the palace’s history, architectural styles, and the lives of the royals who once lived there made the visit come alive. He gave us ample time to explore the vibrant terraces and enjoy the breathtaking views over Sintra and beyond. The palace itself is stunning, but having a guide who could share the stories behind every colorful wall and intricate detail elevated the experience tremendously.
If you’re considering a day trip from Lisbon to Sintra, I highly recommend booking this tour. Flavio expertise, warmth, and dedication to his work make the trip truly unforgettable.
