A great place for a long walk. Mysterious and non-obvious in places. The trails are very well prepared, and in some places there are beautiful views.

The place is spectacular. And we ate very well in an Italian restaurant nearby: falto da claudio coelho, everything was very good and reasonably priced.

We came to visit in December. The weather was very nice and it was not crowded at all . It is absolutely beautiful and I'm so glade we came. Some of the hills you have to climb can be rough for someone with mobility issues so please keep that in mind. An absolute,ustmsee while in Portugal.

Our guide Carlos was great. He managed to deal with a few major issues really well. The first of which the tour bus was more than 90 minutes late stuck in rush our traffic. 10 people left but 18 of us stayed. The late departure disrupted the entire day's schedule for entering the two palaces but Carlos worked with company staff to maintain our preferred entry. He even treated us to free pastry. Most importantly his knowledge of the sites and local history was really thorough and his English is very good and easy to understand.

Sintra was definitely the highlight and I would have liked to spend more time there. The tour says 8 hours, but plan for 9-10. If you buy yours complete with entry tickets, note that the ticket goes to your guide and not to you, limiting free time for exploration. Was happy to see so much of Portugal!
