The zoo was amazing. Lisbon and Portugal in general was such a tranquil and lovely experience. I was impressed that you take schools to have an overnight stay and learn about all the amazing work you do. That is really sweet and something that the whole world should be doing. Aquarium has a good layout. Was just sad not to see the otters but believe they are being bred atm so makes sense this is how we conserve our animals. Highly recommend.
The whole experience was very peaceful and interactive. I left having a new commitment to ocean conservation and doing everything I can to limit use of materials that ultimately endanger our oceans across the globe
It is not only about the experience of seeing animals in different environments of origin. It is about raising awareness among the attendees regarding the care of a planet already almost exhausted. Here the theme is to understand that we have a role to play and that we are behind in it.

Didn't have any issues with the tickets. The oceanarium is sooo beautiful, we absolutely loved it. The telecabine is a very nice ride, there's lot's to do in the area.
Bella la visita allo stadio ed al museo; ma mi sarei aspettato un tour guidato e la possibilità di vedere anche la sala stampa e la sala interviste. Gentilissime le ragazze del museo e coinvolgente l'esperienza multimediale. Per l'oceanario, un po' dispersivo ma ricco di specie e di colori. Forse il prezzo è un po alto per ciò che viene offerto. Nel complesso, due esperienze da fare
Everything beautiful, nothing wrong with it, maybe the neighborhood is a little too industrial and perhaps deserves maintenance because the sidewalks are completely deformed by tree roots.

Really impressive and educational aquarium, however we did buy a timed ticket and it was almost too crowded to be enjoyable. I wish they let less people in at time.
We had an amazing day. I would highly recommend a visit to Lisbon Oceanarium. My nephew took a liking to the sea otters. We had to backtrack 3 times to see them. It is a fabulous, interactive experience.

Fantastic central Aquarium. REALLY REALLY liked the themed aquariums, with detailed work and wonderful composition, and super lighting. Really liked the penguins, otters, the shark collection - brilliant!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lisbon Cable car and aquarium are a fantastic experience. The aquarium itself is awesome with so much to see and take in and learn. Only downside with the dual ticket is whilst the aquarium opens at 10, the cable car (although running) isn't actually open until 11 so our planned take the cable car to the aquarium and back ended up being uber to cable car, then uber to aquarium and then just there and back on the cable car.
Both activities were great. We visit a stadium every time we are on holiday and I have to say the experience at Benfica was up there as one of the best. We had a great day.
A warm welcome Very nice aquarium Too bad no octopus and other species of octopus The gondolas are great and very comfortable And the green spaces all around allow you to relax peacefully afterwards.

Super interesting Oceanorium with 2-hour tours. A must-see permanent exhibition on the Japanese-designed Black Forest.
View original review in French
all went well with tickets and the tour was good, with lots of details, the only problem was that the fields was in construction - they had to change the grass.
Varied species. The main pool is very beautiful You're drawn into the somewhat dark, soothing atmosphere The wall decorations in the smaller rooms are a little disappointing, breaking with the beauty of the pools... A good experience in the right atmosphere, a must!

We really enjoyed the oceanarium in Lisbon. At the heart of the exhibition, you keep coming back to the huge aquarium and always discover something new. I love the rays, the sharks and especially the moonfish. 🥰 Booking via headout was quick and uncomplicated and saved us long waiting times at the entrance. 👍

We enjoyed our visit. Friendly, kind and helpful staff members. I would have liked to have heard that visitors should keep it down and not put their hands in the aquariums. Sadly, I saw some animals or amphibians in aquariums that were too small. In the didactic area for children, I noticed the 3 food offerings: fish🙄. I wonder where the commitment to not eat fish is to really give the oceans a break. Humanity is the most complicated, selfish and cruel species in 🌍. Promote the meat-fish ban.

Napoleon!!!! We had seen Napoleon more than ten years ago and now we saw him again! The One film was wonderful too! The food, the staff! And all the sea creatures!!!
I brought my daughter with me and she was amazed with everything, espcially, all waters of the world and the species in them.
I liked the telecabine ride from the South to the North Station. I wished I had been told to remain on the telecabine back to the South Station because it was closest to the Oceanarium. My husband and I unknowingly got off and had to walk all the way back up to the Oceanarium asking for directions on the way and getting lost. Finally arriving at Oceanarium half hour later sweating, tired and needing to rest. The Combo Oceanarium Tour would have been great otherwise. Please communicate this information in your materials so that participants will know to remain on the telecabine if entering from the South Station for a roundtrip where they are closest to the Oceanarium.
We didn't have to queue because we bought our tickets online. The aquariums are beautifully presented and we really enjoyed seeing so many different fish. The store and the very good bistro round off the visit well.

People spent a lot of time blocking the view of the aquarium. Perhaps there should have been more staff directing the rooms so that everyone could see the animals. I had to send my 7-year-old daughter to squeeze between people so she could see the animals.

Whole place and most of the palaces specially Péna was magnificent, but the only thing (not a complain) was : bus ticketing and I paid HONESTLY 3x for ticket: 1 to go to Péna, 1 to go up in front of Péna, same day again 1 to get back to Train station. The most annoying were those food&beverage automaat: water automat didn't work, sandwich machine took my money BUT GAVE NO SANDWICH😳

I wish it was explained before that we would need to pickup our card at a certain location, they made it seem like we would just have them on the app. Also I would have liked a map that showed where the museums and sites were located and what buses were available to get to them. Navigating became difficult and we were not able to get the most out of the card. Almost doesn't seem worth it, especially since as a family we could have gotten discounts at most sites without the Lisboa card
The advantages of the Lisboa Card: free access to public transport. Free or reduced-price entry to many monuments, saving time in queues.
View original review in French
Not only the public transportation was great! You get on and off wherever you want. Admission to the museums and sights listed is also great. What we didn't find was free access to the Elevador de Santa Justa. But maybe on our next visit - with the Lisboa Gard, of course!

Impossible to buy day tickets. We should have our tickets online and accessible on our cell phone without having to walk miles to go to a metro station to buy them.

We got our cards in a matter of minutes from the tourist office, they were easy to use and the brochure we downloaded from the website gave exhaustive information about the attractions we could use them for.

I loved the card, was just a bit worried about the time wtitten on the electronic WhatsApp message which statec that I purchased the card much earlier than I actually did. Once I got the physical card and asked around how it works all was perfect.
Beautiful city, great restaurants, impeccable public service. A city definitely worth visiting even more than once

THe castle was awesome. The instructions on use of the tickets were problematic. They state to locate the kiosk. We never found that. We eventually found a ticket taker at the castle who let us in based on the pass we had. But this circling around the castle was stressful and likely took a full hour of our day.
A magnificent place, nothing to complain about. However, there should be timetable slots so that we don't have to queue with no estimated waiting time. And the visit to the church is free.

Certainly of interest to those who are willing to stand in endless queues to visit monuments such as the belém... The monastery... The lisboa card was only useful for taking public transport, so I paid a lot, plus I had booked it for 72 hours...
View original review in French
The Lisboa card was great value, we visited 3 places that were free with it and the Aquarium where we got a discount. It worked perfectly for the metro and trams that we used multiple times a day. It was great to be able to not queue or access the sorted lines due to having the card. I would definitely recommend it!
The card is very useful when visiting several museums and using public transport. It offers significant savings, especially for the 72-hour pass. It's very easy to use.
View original review in French
Easy to pick up and easy to use. Regarding São Jorge castle, we couldn't use the card directly as access, like others at attractions, but had to pick up free tickets at the ticket office, i.e. we had to queue there instead of being able to use our own card and skip the queue.

Nice experience. We loved the Pena Palace and surroundings. I recommend the carriage museum. On the downside, we were not able to visit the Belem Tower. We arrived at the site and the officials did not give us access. They use tourists to get job perks and that is unfair. It is a bad image for Portugal and tour operators like Headout should take part in it, because they sell a promise that is not being fulfilled and it also damages their image. For me, the fair thing would be to be compensated for those tickets included in the Lisbon Card.
View original review in Spanish
Headout worked well for booking. With our tickets, we waited in a relatively long line to get in (within an hour) but once inside, found the experience well worth the visit and a must see.
The monastery is stunning... cool, beautiful and serene . Worth queueing to visit, although after buying a ticket online we got to the front of the queue and then had to go across the road to pick up the Lisboa card. The office was closed for lunch, so by the time we got into the monastery several hours had gone by.
Everything beautiful, nothing wrong with it, maybe the neighborhood is a little too industrial and perhaps deserves maintenance because the sidewalks are completely deformed by tree roots.

There are no airco inside the busses. Also it would be better if the folder said described in a few sentences what was to be seen at each big stop, and the prices. For example: free park where you can get drinks and there's a toilet. Free church. Big synificant monestry entrance price is €...,
Genial, nos ha encantado el Oceanario. Respecto al autobús, todo bien, sólo una observación ' estaría bien que en el audio indicaran qué parada se va a realizar, para no despistarse.
The 2-day ticket is good value. Lots of options to choose the sightseeing points. The Belem tour is highly recommended, the Modern Lisbon tour includes entry to the aquarium as a big plus (without having to queue), but it takes a very long time through corners of Lisbon that are not very special. Stops are not announced, you have to pay attention yourself and activate the stop in good time. The funicular and streetcar can only be used if you have a very tight daily schedule. In short: the offer is very large and good. The announcements over the headphones are difficult to understand.

The Old Lisbon bus tour was incredible, great for seeing the city and saving your legs as their are heaps of steep inclines. The Modern Lisbon bus tour, was also interesting. At the beginning you start by working your way around the rights streets, very exciting. Then you make stops at the Tile Musuem, which was a highlight, and the Oceanarium, a great place to visit in the heat of the day. The rest of the tour was interesting for modern architecture. Overall an amazing experience! Note that on Mondays that most if not all, Museum's and historic sights are closed. So if you are staying for more than a couple of days, time your booking.

I booked the entrance tickets to Sao Jorge Castle as soon as we arrived in front. There would have been an endless queue at the ticket counters to go through, which would surely have taken up a lot of time that we were able to devote to the visit instead. It was all very quick and the visit was worthwhile

The views from the castle were amazing. Would absolutely love to go again on a day with better weather to see the sunset.
The attraction was lovely, well worth the visit. Suggest people take transport to there as the steps through the City were arduous!! Unfortunately the ticket office staff were on strike so the only option was online booking, however, this was quite easy to do. Definitely recommend the venue.
Fine to book me ticket here There was a long line and so we could quickly pass it and did not have to wait 😄😎

Hundreds of people queue outside of the castle to get tickets inside. We downloaded our tickets and got straight in. No idea why everyone queues
Stunning setting and really interesting site. The views from the castle are spectacular. A must to visit when in Lisbon.

São Jorge Castle was absolutely magnificent! Visiting Lisbon for the first time, I was happy to get into this wonderful castle, too, and enjoy breathtaking views of the city as well as its ancient serenity. Headout helped me book tickets online very quickly, right at the entrance to the attraction, so I have saved tons of time by skipping the queue for spending it on further exploration of Lisbon later on. I totally loved the experience!
The places are impressive. But I do not recommend buying for the tower of Belen. After an hour of queuing in the sun and it hardly moved, we left. We lost money but gained in health. In the Monastery and in the Castle there were no problems. Bad organization in the Tower, they should improve a lot the access or limit it and not allow to buy so many tickets or do it with a schedule.

Super nice view ! Maybe little expensive compared to the other attractions in Lisbon but as listed as the 'must have seen' - ok Also nice region around the castle
Walking on the top of the castle walls and the patio with the trees and the view. I am glad I bought my tickets ahead and did not need to stand in the long line
It's such a quick process to get your tickets online. We got them right after coming in and avoided the line =) The visit was great too, very nice views.
Couldn't download the tickets. It would be quicker if arriving early to get the tickets at the site. The castle / fort and grounds are superb.
The purchase of the ticket was very easy and, in addition, they give you a small percentage discount for having bought another ticket before. And the castle is wonderful, all very nice, beautiful views. And the free audio guide they offer in the castle is very good.

The palace is beautiful! We felt like we were in a fairy tale. We will definitely come back to this place someday! The amazing architecture combined with the interiors enchanted us.
Really beautiful. The language to "redeem" was a little misleading as I thought we would need to swap for physical tickets at the gate but it was really easy and they scanned us in. Would appreciate a senior option but definitely easy and recommend. Went on a Monday at 10:30 on a cloudy day and there was no line to get inside the palace.
The palace was great and the grounds lovely. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I bought the ticket for the palace and transportation and learned that it was for transportation within the park, not to the park. I did not see one bus to help get us to the palace and was told it would be a half hour walk - it was more like 10 minutes. Would have loved to have seen more of the park but just couldn't find that bus anywhere.
I recommend booking with Headout, it makes the process as easy as possible. The experience was absolutely incredible. From the Palace of Pena to the Chalet of the Countess, including the incredible trails in the middle of the park. Here we found nature at its best. It definitely deserves a long visit as there is so much to see inside the park.

Loved the entire experience at the Pena Palace. Glad we got the tickets with transport included - wouldn't haven't been easy with two kids. The gardens are an absolute beaut! Not only does Pena Palace look like its from a fairytale, the whole place has a rather magical feel to it!
The ticket sales were perfect. We bought the ticket with the bus that takes you to the entrance of the Palace. It's better with the bus, because it's a long way to go, even with the bus. Imagine without this service! I didn't fall in love with the Castle itself.
View original review in Portuguese
The palace was splendid and adorable. Improvements on information provided to the tickets holders are really required. For example, transfer point was not easy to identify. Buses were noticeable but it was unclear whether they were the right ones. No information was provided at the queue at the palace entrance as to what it was for and who were required to line up in the queue.
Despite the lousy weather, visiting the pena palace in Sintra was a wonderful experience. The wonderful interiors and the multitude of exhibits made me remember visiting this palace for a long time. I can in good conscience recommend anyone who wants to learn about the history of Portugal to visit this very interesting place.

I could not make it to The Palace but I did Quinta Regaleira booked with you as well. The guide, Silva, was awesome. I thought it was going to be boring with a guide but it was really really good, not boring at all. It was actually very fun. I am glad I decided to do guided tour because I did not miss the history, which it was crazy interesting. Thank you
Awesome palace, great walk in the park. Just want to share our experience on parking issues. if you travel by car, by all means-do not try to park next to the main entarance-you will just waist you time and will be late for the palaca visit time on your ticket. park at the train station in the city-it is free, call Bolt and for 10-12 Euros per car you will be there. Also, when you go walk in the park, do not use any other then main exit, otherwise you will not be able to go back to the place you park the car in the city-nor Uber or Bolt will notpick you up. if you exit the park from the same point you entere it, you have achanse to catch a taxi or tuk-tuk which brought people to the palace.
Loved the castle itself, all the inside restoration, and furniture. The written history next to artifacts etc. The option of a shuttle bringing us up (which should be FREE) the gardens were kept nice and beautiful! Shops are well organized.
It's really Hard just to pick one thing, this palace is so incredible that anywhere you look is so amazing, the interior, the color, the desing, the sequence, the style, long story short... all .
Everything was as contracted.castle tickets,garden tickets and bus tickets correct as contracted.

The palace and grounds are absolutely spectacular! The palace upkeep and maintenance are great. Guides and other personel were friendly and professional. The food at the cafeteria was pretty good. I feel like there could be more clear signage throughout the grounds. I am pretty good at direction, and was a little challenged at times-I saw others experience this as well. I also feel like the volume of people moving through the interior of the palace was a bit much-somewhat crowded and slow-moving. Overall, one of our favorite days in Portugal!
The Palaces msravillosos, taking into account the context, it would be good to know how the Palacio da Pena was built, how many people did it, how much it cost, point out the cost at current prices, etc.. Impressive.

Magnificent palace 👍...we were unable to visit the park ...as we arrived too late at the site...the municipal police having blocked car access to the road we were supposed to take. The paid shuttle had left, so we had to take and pay for a local bus...

Ticketing on line was easy and the Peña Palace was exceptional. We didn't see much of the park due to an ankle problem as well as taking the bus to and from Ericeira. We should have started earlier and bought tickets for the other sites.

The palace is breathtaking and so are the surrounding grounds. It was quite crowded and we went in September so I don't think July or August would be enjoyable. There was some confusion with lining up to enter. We got there shortly after our time to enter due to the bus up to the entry being full. Then an employee eventually had us all on the same line, which resulted in people with times after ours being ahead. Eventually after a long time on line it got sorted out. You have to stay in line through most of the palace. If you have trouble with crowds or claustrophobic, or standing for long periods, you may want to reconsider. Also, I saw people having difficulty with uneven terrain.
Didn't have any issues with the tickets. The oceanarium is sooo beautiful, we absolutely loved it. The telecabine is a very nice ride, there's lot's to do in the area.
Amazing attraction! Wish we had time to see the whole area it will take days to complete. We will definitely be returning!
There is not enough information about how to access the Palace. You should be advised that even if you book transport, you will have to leave your car in the town of Sintra and that you will have to be very careful to get to the gate of the Garden.
View original review in Spanish
The Palace is beautiful, not sure we really explored the gardens enough and great to have the transfer bus inside the gates. Booking I must admit face value of tickets compared to booking cost was a staggering 7.15€ per person over 30% on booking fees each. I hope this goes to the upkeep of the venue.
