Peña Palace is something truly special. I found the four ticket checks leading up to the entrance a bit confusing. Once inside the palace, you were completely on your own and had to make sure you saw everything. The audio guide is pretty useless. I don’t need a guide to tell me where the next ticket checkpoint is.

Superb combined tour. We really enjoyed Quinta de Regaleira and spent two wonderful hours there. We would have liked to have had a little more time between the two visits (allow two hours between the two mini-tours) as the distances are long and impossible to cover on foot. The tour of Pena Palace is also very enjoyable but more traditional! It would have been nicer to have brought a picnic.

The Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira are amazing and are absolute must-sees. Everything was perfect—the palaces, the scenery, and the whole experience. The history behind both places is wonderful; these are 100% recommended activities that you simply can’t miss. Thank you very much!

Pena Palace is pure magic—bold colors, fairytale architecture, and breathtaking views over Sintra. Every corner feels alive with history and romance. A must-see that truly inspires awe.

The palace is spectacular. You have to climb a hill before entering but there is a minibus to get to the door. If you are pressed for time don't even think about it. Walk up the hill. From Sintra take a transport because it is an hour walk and very steep slope, down is easier. The audio guide offered here is not worth it.

After searching online I found your offer for Pena Pakace and Castle of the Moors to be the most economical and the buying process was easy to navigate, purchase was seamless. Thank you for mentioning on the ticket that it takes 20-30 minutes to arrive at the enterance to the castle after you enter the park, and the time you book for is your enternece time to the castle - not the park.

The Pena Palace was ok, we spent WAY more time outside the actual palace then we did inside. When we did get inside there was a limited # of rooms to visit with crowds pushing you the entire way!

The grounds of Quinta da Regaleira were quite spectacular, as was the facade of the palace. The interior was quite underwhelming considering the grandiose nature of the features within the grounds. Pena Palace was also quite spectacular, this including the grounds as well as the palace itself. Unfortunately, both destinations were significantly overcrowded, which detracted significantly from the experience. This despite time allocated tickets- there should definitely be a cap on numbers, like some of the other popular tourist hot spots around the world. Also the audio guides did not follow the designated routes through the palace & grounds
