Everything went well, the guide was at the right place and was easy to find. On the way he was telling us some stories about the palace, he accompanied us to the entrance door, we did not have to wait in line to get in. Negative point was that the guide only spoke English so I did not learn anything of what he explained, only a couple of details as another person who was in the group translated it.

I got the host option because there were no regular tickets available at the time I chose. It was great to have someone help me make a strategy to see all the most important points, especially since I was arriving near the end of the day. Because I had a plan, I wound up with extra time and was able to explore the whole grounds, but otherwise I may have wasted time backtracking or figuring out where I had and had not been. I loved going in the underground caves and passageways. Don't miss the famous Knights Templar well!

We thought that in the Peña Castle we had an audio guide but to our surprise when we went to listen to it we didn't have it. I don't know if it was a mistake but just as we had it in the Regaleira we understood that we also had it in the Peña Castle. Since with the price we paid it should be included.

I tried multiple purveyors to book my ticket (5 times), and HeadOut was the only successful attempt that completed my purchase. I had my heart set on an in-depth tour of Quinta da Regaleira. Thank you for making it work

As we couldn't find the guide in time, we went straight to the Quinta, even at the suggestion of the guide, who wasn't there to welcome us. The guide couldn't explain to us that we had to ask for the audio guide at the ticket office. The meeting point should have been at Quinta da Regaleira and the guide should have had more knowledge of Portuguese to communicate with us.

I had to check "the guide rushed through the tour" because something needed to be checked in order for me to submit this review (please consider adding more options). The tour was nice and the guide was very professional but the idea of organizing bilingual groups is just terrible. It is tiring, time-consuming and inefficient when the guide has to talk for 10 minutes in one language and then 10 minutes in the other language, and each time one part of the group has to wait for the "other language" part to finish.

I really liked this place! Highly recommended! Mystical place, esoteric place. I had a lot of fun and didn't want to leave. I wanted to walk around and explore every corner. Numerous grottos, caves, labyrinths, beautiful gardens, flowers - you can see the care of the staff. The labyrinth was very impressive. It was interesting and scary at the same time to walk with a flashlight through the labyrinth, not knowing what lies ahead. I will definitely come again!

The guard at tge entrance said we had tge wrong ticket time but was kind enough to let us go in as soon as we went up to him. I'm not sure what would have happened if he didn't allow us to go in. Your guide was very informative and did allow us to come earlier than our scheduled time so we appreciated him on that.

I was recommended to buy tickets online. This can only be done on the 11am and 12pm time slots. So I was obliged to adjust my travel schedule to these time slots. But there was no one standing by in the afternoon. Why are there no time slots in the afternoon?

I took the wrong turn in Pena Palace Park (a wonderful and wild maze of twisty roads and paths) and missed my scheduled time slot. I was so late, that I had completely resigned myself that I was going to miss the experience and forfeit my ticket, but then I received a call from a representative of Headout who helped me find my way there. I was so grateful for the assistance and the opportunity to see this gorgeous property. Thank you!

It was a very nice place to visit. Our tour guide showed up well in adavance of the start time and provided us with plenty of information. I would give him 5 stars. However, when it was time to skip the very long line the person at the gate was refusing entry and said there was no such thing as a skip the line ticket. There was a lot of back and forth between the gate attendent and our tour guide. We were also yelled at by severl people in line who had tickets for the same time. It made for a very stressful start to our entry.

I was charged additional total 10 euros for JUMP THE LINE TICKETS which didn't really work at the site for you still need to line up there at the entrance to get in. For a first time visitor, I would expect that this is a express line for the JUMP THE LINE ticket holder just like any other sites in the States or Europen cities, which is not the case and the 2 persons who arrived the same time paid 10Euro less but entered even earlier . So the question is that what's for additional 10Euro for?

Everything went well at Quinta da Regaleira. I received the audio guide via the app and everything went well Regarding the Pena Palace, I bought the most expensive combo, which included the audio guide and transportation. I didn't receive the audio guide via the app or by email. I thought I would receive it on site, but that didn't happen either. In other words, I paid a lot more for a service I didn't receive. I would also suggest changing the description of the combo. The way it was written, I understood that I was buying a ticket that would include transportation from Quinta da Regaleira to Pena Palace, but that's not the case. I went back to the description and it said Park - Palace transportation. I understand that I've misinterpreted it, but I suggest making it clearer. It's difficult for those who don't know to understand exactly what this transportation is (it's from the gate where the Pena Palace is located to the entrance of the Palace). If you don't take the shuttle, you have to climb a steep path that takes half an hour).

We are so happy to have this experience with a knowledgeable guide. And of course be able to skip the line was good, although, we kind of waited until the line cleared, so we didn't exactly "skip" the line. Our guide was very knowledgeable and since we had English speakers and Spanish speakers in the group he spoke in English and Spanish simultaneously! I was very very impressed. The site has so many interesting back stories and details, we are happy that we had that help.

The guide was late and the venue was angry and unhelpful about it saying- we were not even eligible for a refund or to see the venue at all if the guide did not arrive. The group was extremely large- which meant starting late and waiting o. Everyone at each stop- the guide didn't really explain much I hadn't read online already. The guide gave general history rather than explaining what we were actually Seeing and we missed a sizable part of the property- whether on purpose or because limited time due to late start and large group I do not know. The guide was pleasant but didn't actually add much value at all. One of my first guided tours and very disappointed.

I thought the communication on where to meet could have been better. It took me nearly 30 mins to find the correct spot as the address given is useless. I was disappointed it started 15 minutes late, waiting on 3 people that didn't show up. 5 minutes max is a reasonable wait time in my opinion, especially as the place gets very crowded very quickly. Guide was informative but a bit boring in presentation but definitely covered the important info.

Purchasing tickets through Headout was easy and the tour Fred gave us was excellent! He knew a lot about the area and was not just limited to a few facts related to our tour. He did a good job managing the group as well. The only area for improvement, and it may be an issue for the site and not Headout, was the chaotic scene before entering the gardens. There were lots of tourists in queue and crowding the tiny street that passes by the gate. The tour guides should have a more clear gathering space so their group knows where to go and can meet together in an organized way before entry.

Palacio da Pena, very nice but the way to walk to the top is horrible. Better to park the car and take a cab or tuctuc. Quinta da Regaleira is also worth a visit. Very nice all around. For me the worst thing is the private cars that you don't know where to park them.

ticketing was easy. It's a beautiful place to visit inside and out. While the park was beautiful, even in early November, we struggled to get back to the 'exit' or bus stop because the signage and maps weren't really in sync so it took a lot longer than we wanted and we often came to intersections, whether on a trail or on a park 'road' and we couldn't figure out which way to go. And in finding what looked like a landmark...a fountain or pond, we couldn't find it on the map we were were referencing on our phone.

The way to go in. You lose your patience on the traffic to the place. The solution is shuttles from the bottom of the mountain to the palace, and no private vehicle will go up, this will also make it easier for the villagers who live in the area.

This majestic residence seamlessly melds eccentric, Neo-Gothic architecture with whimsically ornate features. However, the focal point of Quinta da Regaleira lies in its gardens. These are not the conventional grounds of a typical estate but rather the creation of an owner captivated by clandestine religious orders and mysticism.
