From the first dynasties of the country, Sintra was one of the favorite places of Portuguese kings and queens, although the palace we can see today was an initiative of Dom João I, who rebuilt it, and Dom Manuel I, which enriched the building's decorative character. and added a new wing.
Visit the interior of the palace, where you will surely discover a little more about the history of Portugal. The decoration is quite remarkable, being a combination of various artistic styles that depended on the respective tastes of the kings who lived here, and designed to give the various rooms different names. In particular, it draws visitors' attention to the Swan Room, the Armory Room, the Magpie or the Reading Room and the chapel.

George was excellent and most helpful. Information for meeting was simple and easy to follow. He was able to adjust and be flexible with our family. The information and knowledge he shared about Lisbon and Sintra along the way was very nice. Highly Recommend!

Our driver, Jorge, was great. He told us about the places, knew his way around the roads, and advised us how to get Pena Palace tram tickets without waiting in a line. The restaurant he took us to for lunch was also wonderful. He gave his advice for restaurants and other sights to see while in Lisbon.
However, I do not think the stated itinerary is possible given the lines at the various locations. Our tour started at 9a, I think it needed to start at least by 8a to get us to Sintra when it opened. We had to skip the Moorish Castle to make our 11a time slot (pre-purchased) for Pena Palace. On a rainy day in October it took 40 minutes to get through the line at the gate to the 11a line at the palace, and another hour to get into the palace from there. I would recommend getting Pena Palace tickets in advance for the earliest possible timeslot and going straight there. Leave a couple of hours for Quinta da Regaleira after. Unfortunately, we did not have time to visit the National Palace or the Moorish Castle.
