Sintra og Cascais Private Sightseeing Tour
Beskrivelse
Tag på en privat sightseeingtur i det historiske Sintra og dets fantastiske omgivelser. Stop for at se vigtige steder undervejs og nyd at udforske steder, der ikke er inkluderet på typiske turistruter. Du vil have masser af tid på denne dagstur til at tage i alle steder af historisk betydning og beundre udsigten over områdets naturlige pragt. Du vil besøge to mindre kendte monumenter i Sintra: National Queluz Palace, eller det naturlige Monserrate Palace. To af de mindre kendte og "glemte" paladser i Sintra, væk fra det overfyldte Pena Palace. Efter at have set højdepunkterne i Sintra kører vi gennem nationalparken Sintra til kysten. Der vil vi besøge den vestligste punkt i det kontinentale Europa, Cabo da Roca, og før vi vender tilbage til Lissabon, vil vi passere ved kystlandsbyen Cascais.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Du vil møde din guide på dit hotel eller airbnb i Lissabons gamle bydel / downtown område, og starte din tur.
Oplev det fascinerende palads i Queluz, en storslået bygning, der har ændret sig gennem hele sin eksistens siden det 17. århundrede, og ofte "overvejes". Paladset kombinerer barok, rokoko og neoklassisk arkitektoniske designs, mens haven blev inspireret af de franske stilarter. Et af de første værelser, der blev besøgt, var det imponerende Throne Room. Kongelige brugte til at modtage her deres gæster, dekoreret med guldskæringer og spejle, er det ikke svært at blive transporteret tilbage til en tid, hvor damer og herrer ville danse rundt i modige bolde.
Kørsel til Sintra vil du opdage dets historie og vigtigst af alt, den naturlige park, der alt sammen blev plantet for hånd århundreder siden.
Monserrate tiltrukket talrige internationale besøgende, især blandt briterne, der roste sin skønhed i deres rejseoplysninger og graveringer. Da Francis Cook besøgte os, var han fascineret. Fra denne passion opstod et mesterværk af romantikken: Parken og paladset i Monserrate. Francis Cook satte sin drøm i praksis ved at forvandle Monserrate til det, vi kender i dag, med dens frodige haver, med de eksotiske arter, der kommer fra alle hjørner af verden. Dette palads repræsenterer en sand ode til romantisk arkitektur, den raffinerede smag af Francis Cook og geniet af dets arkitekt James Knowles Jr., der kombinerede forskellige forskellige indflydelser her. Men historien om dette charmerende sted er markeret af mange forskellige vicissitudes. Kom og find ud af det med os.
Mens du er i Sintra, kan du ikke gå glip af chancen for at besøge det vestligste punkt i det europæiske fastland, Cabo da Roca. Det er omkring 140 meter over havet, hvilket gør det til en meget flot beliggenhed for en panoramaudsigt over Sintras bjergkæde og kyst, hvilket gør det besøg værd.
Efter at have passeret Guincho-stranden og kørt langs kysten, når vi Cascais. Beliggende nær havet og traditionelt en fiskerlandsby, nød Cascais en vigtig periode med udvikling i det 14. århundrede, da det var et vigtigt stoppested for både på vej til Lissabon, hvilket gjorde det til en meget travl havn på det tidspunkt. Derfra havde det en endnu vigtigere periode i historien, under 2. verdenskrig, har været en inspiration for den så kendte spion, "Bond. James Bond" 007. Opdag detaljerne med din guide.

Jaoa provides not only a safe ride, but a first class and once in a lifetime experience. A subject matter expert who pays close attention to every detail and the history associated with each respective site. If this is your first trip to Portugal, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you did not book with TakingUThere.
John was an excellent tour guide for our day trip to Sintra and Belem. He was knowledgeable, personable and flexible. He had a deep knowledge of Portugal history and was able to give us a great understanding of the history of the area. Our walking tour to the Pena Palace was fun and John stopped to show us different spots where the royal family built special spots. Our whole family enjoyed the day.
Great day …. Our tour guide Vasco was professional, patient and kind. We saw SO much in a single day and Vasco made it easy for us. This is how you should visit these areas … highly recommended
Our group of four people spent two days with Paulo visiting Sintra and Setubal. Paulo’s love for Portugal was evident and we enjoyed his enthusiasm. He shared a lot of information about the different areas and sites we visited. He was fast-paced and got us where we needed to go efficiently. We enjoyed the lunches in restaurants the locals visit. When he learned we hadn’t yet purchased authentic Portuguese tiles (but wanted to!) he took us to a family run business to learn how tiles are made and painted. We learned so much and miss Portugal already.
I am from Colombia and we spent the best day of our holiday in this experience with Paulo nobody should miss this opportunity picked us up at our hotel took us to Sintra and without it we would not have managed to get in explained us about the history of Portugal and the palace is quite a historian then took us to Cascais stop in all the places that were beautiful to meet with an energy and vitality that made our day perfect in the end led us to have the best local culinary experience in Lisbon we were fascinated Thank you Paulo for making this day the best memory We hope to come back soon and book a new tour with you
We spent the day with Rodrigo touring the Queluz Palace, seeing the packed, crazily busy Sintra and finishing with a stroll through beautiful Cascais. Rodrigo was personable, had a great wealth of knowledge and spoke English almost flawlessly. We started out at the Queluz Palace, which as you arrive, doesn't look like much, but once you get inside and get a look at the gardens, it's quite the place! And, they are doing a great job of slowly, meticulously, restoring it. We next traveled into Sintra, along with about 5,000 other tourists, most of whom seemed to arrive on multiple Cruise ship busses, swarming the small town! But, that wasn't Rodrigo's fault, just the nature of travel in this quasi-post pandemic travel storm! We left there, using a small, twisty, scenic backroad to Cabo da Roca, Europe's most Western point. It was much less crowded, had beautiful views of the ocean and was a nice break from the craziness of Sintra. We then headed along the coast to Cascais. What a beautiful, small beach town! We wish we would have known about this town when arranging our trip so we could have booked a room there. Lots of small shops, a beautiful square overlooking one beach and a smaller beach over by the marina. And, Rodrigo's knowledgeable commentary helped enjoy the visit more. We finally left there and embarked on Portugal's version of California's Pacific Coast Highway as we drove along the Atlantic, heading back to Lisbon, passing through Belem with commentary by Rodrigo. A perfect day, perfect weather and great guide!
Paolo did a wonderful job of providing us with a tour of Sintra and the surrounding area. When a rainstorm called for a change in some of our plans, we did a driving tour of Caxcais and parts of Lisboa. He clearly has a passion for his country, its culture, and food and wine. We learned a lot and invited him to join us for lunch. In return he showed us to a great seafood restaurant, locally owned for years that had the best meal we’ve had in Lisboa. We look forward to seeing Paolo for a return visit to Lisboa or maybe Morocco.
Two day tours of Sintra, Bellum, Obidos, and Batalha far exceeded our expectations. The sites not only included beautiful monuments and magnificent churches and palaces, but also adorable, quaint villages.. Our guides for these days were Paolo and John, respectively. Paolo's forte was a contagious cultural enthusiasm and pride of country, while John's was an extraordinary knowledge base of historical information. Both were extremely considerate of their clients. We highly recommend this company, specifically these two gentlemen.
Thank you so very much for your review! Me and Paulo have our unique ways of showing our country that we do love, But yes, our main goal is to give our travellers an honest and unique view of our culture, history and views. That’s why we only make private tours. It’s the only way to make things adapted to each of our travellers interests. Warmest Regards and hope to have you back soon. There is still a lot to see… ;-) Joao Dickmann
Our private tour with Paulo was outstanding!!! He tailored it to our preferences…mostly away from typical tourist attractions yet beautiful places steeped in history. His knowledge and passion for Portugal, especially with respect to our shared Jewish heritage, was amazing. We had lunch together at O Prado in Belem where he ordered for us so that we could experience a true Portuguese meal. My daughter who doesn’t eat fish ate everything..all fish and absolutely delicious. Thank you Paulo…you gave us a memory to cherish forever!!
Hello again Leslie, Portugal is known to have the best fish in Europe. Simply made with just their natural flavors . And Paulo knows where to find them.. ;-) Glad you had fun and hope to have you back again. Warmest Regards, Joao Dickmann
My wife and I booked a trip with Joao (John) for Sintra and Cascais and although the weather wasn't perfect (Rainy), the tour was outstanding. The attention to details was what made this experience, if we wanted more time here, we took more time here, if we wanted a cool seafood local restaurant, we were at a local place that made us feel like we were experiencing the real Cascals. John was very detailed oriented with things that we were interested in...just amazing!! the tour locations were bucket list items! Looking forward to our next tour when we return. Obrigado (Thank you) I learned that too Ed
Hello dear Ed, I have to say Obrigado !!!! It was a pleasure spending the day with you in Sintra, Cascais and our other locations, although it was poring buckets. But as i told you, we need water, a lot of it, as Portugal is going through a drought. Warmest Regards and again Obrigado my dear friends, Joao Dickmann
