The 15 Wine Tours in Sintra That Earn Their Price

1.From Lisbon: Sintra, Pena Palace & Wine Tasting Small-Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 252 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $81Our pick

Review of Lisbon’s 9-hour small-group tour to Pena Palace, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, and a Colares wine tasting.

“Unfortunately, this tour didn’t meet my expectations. Our guide, David, was quite disengaged—there were no introductions or ice breakers, and he didn’t speak to me at all throughout the day. The experience also felt rushed, with only 10 minutes at Cabo da Roca and just 30 minutes in Cascais. For the price, I expected a more interactive and well-paced tour. I’ll now have to book another tour or revisit Cascais on my own to make up for the rushed experience.”

“We booked this day trip expecting a bus group tour, but to our surprise (and luck!) we ended up being the only couple that day. It turned into a private adventure, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Leo. Leo was absolutely amazing-knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the region. What made the day truly special was that he took us to some off-the-beaten path spots we would've never discovered on our own. These hidden gems gave us such a unique perspective beyond the typical tour sites, and we felt like we were experiencing the area more authentically. (The Meme's were…”

“Jose was a terrific guide! Our private tour was on 13 May. He got us to the palace at opening and we had a wonderful, unrushed informative tour...and the weather was perfect! We opted to walk up and down from the palace rather than the bus. Made it very enjoyable for us. Lunch was at an out of the way place on the beach...delicious and beautiful setting. Colares wine tasting and visit to see where the grapes grow was very interesting. We really enjoyed our day with Jose, and would tell you to request him from Lisbon on Wheels through Viator. Thank you Jose!!”

“Ricardo communicated wonderfully with us before the trip to book our lunch reservation and coordinate our time for meeting. He drove us to must see Sintra and booked our tickets to Quinta da Regaleira in advance. He planned an early arrival in Sintra to beat the crowds so we were able to visit the National Palace in addition to shopping in town before our timed tickets. He surprised us with delicious local pastries once we were back in the car. Once we were done in Sintra he drove us around lovely Colores to see amazing Atlantic Ocean views and treated us to a yummy Chorizo roll from a local shop…”
