The guide took us past other visitors and gave a precise explanation of each room of the castle. She was very knowledgeable and spoke in both English and Portuguese. We enjoyed the tour very much.

the tourguide was very clear and shared interesting facts about the Palace. I will say though that the palace environment was very crowded and detracted from the visit - no fault of our guide.

Great to get more insights on the Pena Palace. What we also found was a great advantage is that you can skip all lines and visit areas not open for the other people. Very pleasant guide

We really enjoyed our visit at Pena Palace. We had first morning time slots. They didn't open the gates right at 9am. Then the first shuttle driver was late, so it was almost 10am before we got up to the palace. At first I thought they were going to give us trouble, but then they realized my husband had a cane, they told us to wait right where we were. Our tour guide came to us, then we went with only 8 other people. We got to walk right by everyone and got into all the private rooms. It is so beautiful and interesting. Our tour guide spoke good English and was easy to understand and she was enthusiastic and brought the stories to life.

Bernardo was a very patient and entertaining guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The palace is such an enchanting place. Make sure you leave enough time to take the bus up the hill to the park from town. It makes stops and took us almost an hour from when we got on the 434. From there it can take another 20 minutes or so to get through the lines to enter the park and meet your guide.

Our tour guide was fantastic. Well-informed and comprehensive, she provided us with a thorough understanding of the palace and its former owners. Her insights added a depth to our visit that a guide-free experience would have lacked.

Step inside Pena Palace with a guide who reveals how decorative motifs and eclectic influences turned it into one of Europe’s most Romantic monuments.

Explore the palace’s richly decorated chambers, including the New Palace wing and Private Apartments where Portuguese royalty once lived, worked, and entertained.

After the tour, wander the lush Pena Park and discover the Chalet of the Countess of Edla, a charming alpine-style retreat tucked among forested trails.

Enjoy the experience with an English or Portuguese-speaking guide, plus a shuttle transfer from the park gate to the palace entrance for an easier uphill visit.

Upgrade to a thematic tour led by a cultural expert who focuses on specific stories, artistic elements, and the deeper meaning behind Pena Palace’s design.

We liked the fact that we were able to skip a lot of the queues. However, it was advertised as a one hour thirty minutes tour and in reality it is about 1 hour. You don't enter the grounds near the visitor center until gone 9am. We then waited over 20 minutes for everyone to get in and join the group. We then had to take a minibus up to the palace itself and walk a little way further too. The guide was knowledgeable and fun but there was really only 1 hour of the tour itself.
