Mysterious Sintra - Boost Urban Thrills

The Best Walking Tour in Sintra From Lisbon

MYSTERY AND LUSH

About the Half-Day Tour

Sintra was a hotspot for the summer of the Portuguese Family and as a consequence a getting point for nobles and aristocrats from Lisbon. As a result Sintra got a lot of summer houses, chalets, villas, palaces and castles that shaped up the cozy and fancy look of Sintra nowadays.
One of those summer dream houses is Quinta da Regaleira, a botanic park with vegetation from all over the world combined with unique architecture influences and the most noble materials. It looks like an outdoor opera scenery with a very popular and famous highlight, the Iniciatic Well.
Right next door, there is another incredible summerhouse called Biester Palace. This is another excellent example of the variety of diversity of vegetation from all over the world and a mix of architecture styles that can be seen at the palace. The belvederes and consequent views are also stunning. This Palace is famous for the movie “The Ninth Gate” with Johnny Depp.

We had an incredible experience doing the 3 hour E-bike tour along the Belem with Yanick. He explained history around the city so well and the ride itself was beautiful and easy. We will definitely book with Boost when we come back!

The GoCar is a must! Amazing experience to visit Lisbon! We took the car for a full day which allowed us to park it and go see the monuments! João was so friendly and he helped us a lot!

We had an amazing ebike experience. Took the private tour with my partner. I hadn't gotten on a bike in years, let alone one on the streets in Lisbon. The tour guide, Andreas, was patient while I stumbled and navigated terrain. The spots we visited were beautiful. The city is full of history, and I definitely learned about it. Highly recommend the ebike tours.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour of Lisbon Hills on electric bikes with Bia, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences I've had tour wise! Bia was an amazing tour guide, and her knowledge of the area was truly impressive. She was kind, attentive, and upbeat throughout the entire tour, making sure that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves.Bia's passion for the history and culture of Lisbon was evident in the way she shared information about the different sites we visited, and her enthusiasm was infectious. I felt like I was able to see and learn so much more about the city than I ever could have on my own.Overall, I would highly recommend choosing Bia as your tour guide for a truly unforgettable experience. Her professionalism, expertise, and wonderful personality made the tour an absolute joy. Thank you, Bia, for an amazing tour!

We had an awesome time biking around Lisbon with the electric bikes. Lisbon seems like a tough city to bike in, but everyone on the streets are respectful and it turns out to be a ton of fun. David, an employee, was awesome and helped us switch our rental to the right day after we scheduled the wrong day. He was awesome to talk to and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Thanks David and Boost!

Peter was the best!!! We had such a great tour of the city, he gave us such rich and amazing information not only on Lisbon itself but it’s vast and important history, down to why certain places were called what they are called and how the streets are built and mapped out. I called my parents right after this trip to share many of these details ♥️ Peter thank you!!! Already recommended you to all my friends coming soon 🙏 the bikes were also super easy and great to use. Lovely experience
