Hi, the tour guide arrived on the spot and was kind and willing to answer our questions throughout the visit. We wish he could give us somewhat more details re. the esoteric practices carried out in the mansion, however we appreciate that each person has different interests so all in all it was a positive experience and we'd recommend it!

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.

Quinta da Regaleira in all its glory

Every area of Quinta Da Regaleira, from the opulent chambers to the eerie caverns, has something to say about Carvalho Monteiro and his quest for the truth, which you will learn on this guided tour.
