  • All requests for modifications/amendments must be directed to the Sintra Tours Customer Care Team who will process the request.
    • Sintra Tours does not charge a fee to amend or change the dates of an existing booking, as long as the request is received by our Customer Care team more than three (3) days ahead of your confirmed travel date.
    • It is not possible to change or modify a special event, theatre or show ticket. Sales of these tickets are final and cannot be amended once your original purchase is confirmed.

For multi-day and overnight tours, date changes made within seven (7) days of your confirmed travel date may also attract additional fees from our suppliers and/or service providers.
    • If you make a purchase using a Sintra Tours promotion code, or if you accept a discount or special-offer price during the Sintra Tours checkout process, you may invalidate your discount or special-offer price by making any changes or amendments to your itinerary once your purchase is complete. Sintra Tours may decide, at its sole discretion, to honour your discount or special-offer pricing if you make a post-purchase change or amendment to your itinerary.

    • In such cases, if you are dissatisfied with the alternatives offered, you are entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price.
    • Notwithstanding the above, when we are informed in advance by our agents, service providers and/or suppliers of a significant change to a booking and/or to a tour, product or event, we make every reasonable effort to notify the consumer, travel agent and/or distributor as appropriate, in order to amend or re-issue the booking where feasible.
  • For products noted as a “Worry-free Shore Excursion”, if you are not returned to the ship in time to board, we will arrange the necessary transport to the next port-of-call. This policy applies only to our contracted local suppliers and only when, through no fault or action of your own, you are not returned to the ship in time to board. The policy is void in instances where delay is caused by your own actions and/or you have deviated from the Sintra Tours activity or tour. You must supply Sintra Tours with correct arrival and departure ship information and ensure there is enough time (min. 2 hours) between the tour end time and the ship departure time. You must contact Sintra Tours directly to request next port-of-call transportation arrangements as customers cannot book their own travel. Sintra Tours will select and book travel to the next port of call (not to exceed US$1000 per person). In addition, if your ship misses a port of call or is delayed beyond the commencement time of your Worry-free Shore Excursion, simply contact Sintra Tours within 14 days. Pending verification of the ships actual itinerary, we will issue you a refund.

    • For security purposes, when redeeming your Sintra Tours Voucher you must present a valid Photo ID and sign the Sintra Tours Voucher. This is for identification purposes and helps us to prevent fraud.
    • In some cases Sintra Tours also requires that you present the credit or debit card used to purchase your tour or ticket at the time of redemption. This generally applies only to attraction and show tickets. This helps us to prevent credit-card misuse. You will be advised at checkout whether or not you must present the credit or debit card used for booking. In some cases Sintra Tours will waive this requirement, generally to facilitate gift purchases. However this requirement can only be waived by contacting Sintra Tours’s Customer Care team once your booking has been confirmed, and any changes or amendments will be made at Sintra Tours’s sole discretion.
    • If you make a purchase using a Sintra Tours Gift Certificate, Sintra Tours requires that you present the Gift Certificate used to purchase your tour, ticket or package at the time of redemption.
    • Please note that your Sintra Tours Voucher(s) can be confiscated – and immediately canceled without refund – if your signature and/or name do not match those shown on either your credit or debit card or Gift Certificate.

Passports, Visas & Insurance

  • It is the responsibility of all passengers, regardless of nationality and destination, to check with the consulate of the country they are visiting for current entry requirements.
  • As visa and health requirements are subject to change without notice, we recommend that you verify health and visa requirements with the appropriate consulate prior to departure.
  • We strongly recommend that you purchase a comprehensive Travel Insurance Policy prior to departure. If you cancel your trip or significantly alter travel dates, many policies will reimburse the cost of cancellation fees and related expenses.
