Private Sintra · The complete experience
Your own guide. A day shaped around you. The details taken care of.
The right Sintra tour should feel like a day you can enjoy, from the first pickup to the last view. With Yes, You Deserve, you choose the places and experiences that matter to your group, and we help bring them together in a realistic private itinerary.
Our All-Inclusive experience combines tuk tuk touring in Sintra with private pickup and return from Lisbon or Cascais, your local guide and tickets for the monument visits agreed with you. Choose the eight-hour Full-Day for a traditional Portuguese lunch too. A Colares tasting is included when chosen as an activity.
- Your group only
- Lisbon or Cascais pickup
- 4 or 8 hours
- Agreed monument tickets
In this guide
One private experience, from pickup to return
What makes our approach distinctive is how the day fits together. There is one team to talk to about your guide, your visits, the route and the practical arrangements. The plan starts with what you want to experience.
- A private day, at your party’s paceYou will not join another group. Tell us what you want to see, what you would rather skip and how much walking feels right for your party.
- Pickup and return arranged with youBoth All-Inclusive formats include private pickup and return from Lisbon or Cascais. We confirm the location, timing and transport for your booking.
- Tickets for the visits you chooseThe agreed monument tickets are included. We confirm ticket options and entry times before the day, so everyone knows what is planned.
- Local experiences that belong in your routeA palace, a garden, the coast or a tasting can shape the day. More time inside monuments means fewer outside activities; we help you choose.
The transfer to Sintra and tuk tuk touring in Sintra are parts of the same arranged experience. Pickup in Lisbon does not mean riding all the way to Sintra by tuk tuk.
Inside the places you came to see
Some moments need time on foot. Your guide accompanies you inside Quinta da Regaleira and the Initiation Well when these visits are part of your agreed itinerary. You can plan for the gardens, the spiral staircase and the details that make the estate worth exploring.
If Pena, Monserrate or another monument is your priority, tell us at the planning stage. We agree visits, ticketed areas and guiding arrangements with you. Monument rules, timed entries, queues and walking conditions still apply; tickets do not create privileged access.
Travelling with someone who finds steps difficult? Tell us before booking so we can discuss suitable visits. The Initiation Well involves stairs. Our Sintra walking guide explains the terrain.
The tour continues at the table
A good day has room for conversation as well as sightseeing. On the All-Inclusive Full-Day, a traditional Portuguese lunch at a local family restaurant is included. Your guide shares the meal with you: a chance to pause, talk about the morning and enjoy another part of Portugal.
Food preferences and dietary needs are part of planning the day. Tell us in advance so arrangements can be confirmed. Lunch is not included in the four-hour Half-Day.
Make room for Colares, if wine is part of your day
A Colares wine tasting is included when selected as an activity in your All-Inclusive itinerary. It takes a place in the route, rather than being added on top of every palace visit.
Prefer the Signature Fortified Wine Tasting at Binho? It replaces the included Colares tasting and carries the supplement shown on the All-Inclusive page. Explore our Colares wine tasting guide.

Before you book your private Sintra tour
What makes the Yes, You Deserve private Sintra tour different?
Our signature is the complete private experience: a local guide, tuk tuk touring in Sintra, pickup and return from Lisbon or Cascais, and tickets for the monument visits agreed in your itinerary. Choose the eight-hour All-Inclusive Full-Day for a traditional Portuguese lunch as well. Colares wine tasting is included when chosen as an activity. We agree the route and inclusions with you before the day.
Does our guide go inside Quinta da Regaleira and the Initiation Well?
Yes. Your guide accompanies you inside Quinta da Regaleira and the Initiation Well when these visits are part of your agreed itinerary. Garden visits, including Monserrate when chosen for your route, follow the agreed itinerary and each site’s access rules.
Is pickup from Lisbon or Cascais included?
Yes. Private pickup and return from Lisbon or Cascais are included in both All-Inclusive formats. The four-hour Half-Day includes transfers within its duration. We agree your pickup location, timing and return arrangements beforehand. Your transfer to Sintra and tuk tuk touring in Sintra are parts of the planned experience; pickup does not mean travelling all the way from Lisbon by tuk tuk.
What is the difference between Half-Day and Full-Day?
The All-Inclusive Half-Day is four hours, including transfers, and does not include lunch. Choose one monument inside plus one activity, or three activities without interior visits. The eight-hour Full-Day includes a traditional Portuguese lunch and more time for visits. Its starting formats are one monument inside plus four activities, two interiors plus two activities, or three monument interiors. We agree the final route with you.
Are all monument tickets and wine tastings included?
All-Inclusive covers tickets for the monument visits agreed in your itinerary, not unlimited entry to every site in Sintra. Colares wine tasting is included when selected as an activity. The Signature Fortified Wine Tasting at Binho replaces the included Colares tasting and carries the supplement shown on the All-Inclusive page. Entry times, queues and each site’s access rules still apply.
Is lunch included in every tour?
A traditional Portuguese lunch at a local family restaurant is included in the All-Inclusive Full-Day. It is not included in the All-Inclusive Half-Day. With Personalized tours, meals, monument tickets, wine tastings and transfers are paid separately. Share dietary requirements before booking so arrangements can be confirmed.
Can we bring luggage and finish at a different hotel?
Yes. We can receive any number of your party’s bags and keep them with our team during the tour. With All-Inclusive, we collect you with your luggage and leave you with your bags at your hotel afterwards. Tell us the bag count, bulky items, pickup and final hotel so we can arrange the day.
Will we join another group, and can everyone manage the walking?
Your tour is private to your party. Tell us your group size and any needs around steps, walking or getting into the vehicle before you book, so suitable arrangements can be confirmed. A tuk tuk helps with travel between stops; monument visits can still involve slopes and stairs. The Initiation Well is a choice to discuss if steps are a concern.
