Arriving in the town, we drive to the top of the Serra de Sintra and the Palácio da Pena, built on a rock 500m above sea level, dominating the entire coast as far as Lisbon. It represents one of the best expressions of 19th century architectural Romanticism in the world, and is, in fact, the Europe's first romantic palace, built around 30 years before the charismatic Schloss Neuschwanstein, in Bavaria, Germany

Today, Quinta da Regaleira is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Sintra, offering visitors a journey full of mystery through secret tunnels, exotic gardens, lakes, caves and buildings, such as the famous Initiatory Well.

From this passion was born a masterpiece of Romanticism: the Park and Palace of Monserrate.

Sintra National Palace
The current Palace of Sintra is made up of many royal palaces. It is a group of buildings that were built, added to and adapted over centuries, with the date of the foundation of the oldest palace being an enigma that remains unsolved today. Most likely, the first building was built around the 10th or 11th century, when Sintra was Islamic territory. At the end of the Middle Ages, the Palace of Sintra was the center of a territory managed by the Queens of Portugal, but it was also one of the favorite spaces of the Portuguese monarchs. The abundance of game in the region, the coolness of the climate during the summer months or the need for refuge during periods of plague in the capital made Paço de Sintra a frequent destination. Keeper of memories and witness to exciting events in the history of Portugal, the Paço de Sintra offers those who visit it the opportunity to travel through time and encounter other lives so different from ours.

Centro Historico de Cascais
Located next to the sea and traditionally a fishing village, Cascais experienced important development in the 19th century. XIV, when it was a busy port of call for ships heading to Lisbon.
However, it was from the 2nd half of the century onwards. In the 19th century, when sea bathing began to be popular, Cascais saw a boost that transformed it into a very fashionable summer resort. The main driver of the transformation was the King of Portugal D. Luís I, who in 1870 converted the citadel fortress into the summer residence of the Portuguese monarchy. This example was followed by the nobility who built mansions and beautiful villas here where they spent the hottest time of the year, completely transforming the old fishing village.
It is recommended to take a stroll through the streets, which have excellent quality shops, or take a moment to rest on one of the many terraces that exist here.

An amazing day!
Published on Nov, 2024
We had an absolutely wonderful day with Joao! He communicated with us right after booking regarding the tickets we needed to purchase and was so much fun to be with seeing the Regaleria and the Pena Palace. We enjoyed having lunch with him and then he took us to Cabo da Roca, the western most part of Europe to walk around and gave us plenty of time to wander around Cascais at the end of the day. We highly recommend booking this tour and you can feel confident that you will have an amazing experience!
Private Tour - Lisbon to Sintra snd Cascais
Published on Sep, 2024
Joao was a wonderful tour guide and driver. He was super knowledgeable of every place visited yet had a wonderful sense of humor. He was very receptive and flexible to meet our scheduling needs.
He also took us to a great Portuguese restaurant outside of Sintra where we were able to relax and meet some locals. We highly recommend this tour!
Amazing visit to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Caicais!
Published on Sep, 2024
My wife and I had an amazing experience with Joao (John), owner and operator of Kitzel tours. This was actually the second tour we had with Joao during our time in Lisbon. This particular tour allowed us to select two palaces from the Sintra area - we chose Quinta da Regaleira and Monserrat Palace. It was tough not to go to Pena Palace, but we knew it was going to be very busy there and didn't want to take time away from other sites planned on the tour. Regaleira features the famous Initiation Well as well as beautiful landscaped gardens. Regaleira now operates with slot times. We chose one of the first slots available and the crowds were not that bad. Monserrat Palace was just a short drive from Regaleira and included incredible gardens and the stunning interior of the palace. We thoroughly enjoyed both properties.
After touring the two properties, we had a delicious lunch with Joao on our way to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Cabo da Roca features incredible views of the coastland of Portugal and was worth the stop. Our tour ended with a visit to Caiscais, a beach town not to far from downtown Lisbon bustling with shops and restaurants.
Joao is a fantastic tour guide who was incredibly knowledgeable on all of the sites we visited. He has an incredible focus on making customers feel valued and appreciated, never rushing us to the next destination. His communication before and during the tour were excellent. We highly recommend Kitzel tours.
Great tour of Sintra and Cascais
Published on Jul, 2024
Joao was an amazing tour guide, whose deep knowledge of Portugal and Sintra was only exceeded by his energy and enthusiasm for sharing his love of the area. Highly recommend.
Great time in Sitra
Published on Mar, 2024
We had a great time with Joao in Sintra! It is a more active tour so wear comfy shoes but having the private guide is worth every penny and makes for a much more comfortable experience. Joao effortlessly guides you through this very busy site. We were on our "babymoon" and so wanted a more relaxed experience and this was exactly what we wanted - an expert to do the thinking and planning for us!
