Itinerary
You won't soon forget discovering the wonder that is the Romantic palace from the 19th century. It's among the greatest spots for photos, it is located on top of mountain with a great view.
Queluz's National Palace Originally a hunting lodge in the 17th century, this palace has been converted into a rococo-style summer residence. The magnificent palace gardens are adorned with fountains and statues. A real refinement that transports us to opulent, courtly times centuries ago.
TThe Quinta da Regaleira is an enchanting estate near Lisbon. Built by an eccentric Free Mason, it houses the mysterious Initiation Well and is filled with Pagan and occult symbols.This yet another UNESCO-listed site has anciently carved buildings, incredible gardens and a gothic breeze that will enchant anyone who dares to enter.
the Moorish Castle is a fortification founded in the 10th century during the period the Moors occupied the Iberian Peninsula.. Its famous walls snake across the hills with their granite blocks interlinking boulders and cliffs. Its parapet walk provides stunningly unique views out over the town, the Palace of Pena and, further in the distance, the greens of these hills contrast with the blues of the Atlantic Ocean
This 19th-century villa is a whimsical fusion of Arabic styles, surrounded by classical English gardens and set in the lush, forested hills of Serra de Sintra. This magnificent property is a jungle of exotic trees and flowering shrubs
Sintra Old Town has been a popular destination for centuries, being the former summer residence of the royal family of Portugal. You can have 1 hour free time to have lunch in beautiful old town
Located in the village of Sintra and with over 1000 years of history, the National Palace of Sintra is one of the oldest in Portugal, defining its landscape with the unmistakeable silhouette formed by its two conical chimneys crowning the royal kitchen, there stands the only palace that spans the entire history of Portugal.
We'll finish off with Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Continental Europe, is yet another great spot to take some pictures and feel the ocean breeze.
Cascais has been a popular vacation destination for almost a century, giving it a reputation that more modern resorts don't have. The villas along the shoreline bear witness to its past. There was a prehistoric fishing port in the secluded sandy bay.

A very long day filled with a lot of information. Our guide was really interesting and attentive. Thank you! You need to be in shape to climb up to the castles. The only small downside was that we traveled in a private car not suitable for 4 adults. The 3 adults in the back were very cramped.

We had an absolutely amazing private day in Sintra with Miguel, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, Miguel went above and beyond to make the day special, comfortable, and memorable for our family. Our day included the magical Park and National Palace of Pena, the incredible Quinta da Regaleira, the breathtaking cliffs of Cabo da Roca, and beautiful Cascais. Miguel made every stop feel meaningful and perfectly paced. He shared wonderful stories, local insight, and helpful historical context, while also giving us time to enjoy each place without ever feeling rushed. What made the day especially memorable was Miguel’s kindness, flexibility, and attention to detail. Traveling as a family, it meant so much to have someone who was thoughtful, patient, and genuinely cared about making the experience special for everyone. Sintra is already a magical destination, but Miguel made it unforgettable. From Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira to Cabo da Roca and Cascais, every part of the day was beautifully planned and full of wonderful memories. We are so grateful for the care he put into the experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly personal, memorable, and exceptional private tour.

Our private tour experience was above and beyond our expectations. Miguel was an incredible tour guide – thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. He tailored the day to our interests, and put in extra effort to ensure we had time to see everything we hoped to see during our time in Sintra. The day was seamless and so very memorable, and Miguel's passion for the area and Portuguese history really stood out to us. We got to see so much more than we would have been able to on our own, and learned so much along the way. By the end of the day, we felt like Miguel had become a new friend. We highly recommend this experience, especially with Miguel as your guide. It was easily one of the best days of our trip!

Your kind words mean a lot, and I’m grateful you chose to spend part of your trip with us. Wishing you many more amazing travels ahead, and we hope to welcome you back to Portugal someday!
Perfect way to explore Sintra with kids at a leisurely pace. Our tour guide Miguel is the best, do not hesitate to ask for him if you have kids. Even my 3 yr old had a great time and was entertained despite all the walking through the palaces. Everything was planned seamlessly, from the pickup with the requested carseat to navigating through the hectic lines at the sites (no wait is a plus and a must if you have little ones!). Stoping in Caiscais briefly for the beach and gelato at Santini was also a plus. We truly felt VIP with this experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re delighted that the day was enjoyable for both you and your little one. Making Sintra fun and stress free for families is always a priority, and we’re glad the smooth planning, skip-the-line access, and family friendly pace helped create a memorable experience. It’s wonderful to hear that the stop in Cascais and the gelato added an extra special touch to the day. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome your family back for another adventure in Portugal!
