Itinerary
Pena Palace An astonishing fairytale palace located on one of the highest peaks of the Sintra Mountains. Pena Palace was built in the 19th Century by King consort Ferdinand II of Portugal. He turned a 16th Century monastery ruins into one of the most eclectic palaces in Europe by blending different types of Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance elements to it. Around the palace he created a park where he planted different exotic species of trees from all over the world.
Pass the stunning beaches of Cascais, including the scenic Praia do Guincho.
At the end of the tour your guide will drive through the Natural Park of Sintra to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost site of Continental Europe.
The Boca do Inferno is an interesting cliff formation close to Cascais, which has been given an overly dramatic name of Hell’s Mouth. The ceaseless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean on the cliffs chiselled out a small cave, which subsequently collapsed forming a small bay and natural arch.
Cascais is a delightful Portuguese fishing town, and is the Lisbon’s coastline most popular holiday destination. The town is situated on a beautiful coastline, and during the summer it is a bustling resort, with a buzzing holiday atmosphere.

Both the agency when hiring the tour and the guide were highly efficient!!! Bruno our guide not only told us the things about the tour but also extended to details that were frankly anecdotal!!! A pleasure and recommendation of 10!!!
José our driver is very experienced and friendly and gives very good explanations we recommend.
The guide (Ricardo) was excellent, he arrived on time to pick us up and was very organised and punctual throughout the day. Bothe locations visited were very interesting.
Beautiful place, worth visiting, is a must. The tour was very good because our guide Bruno was also nice, very friendly and explained everything very well besides taking very good photos. Took us somewhere to eat delicious. !! 10 out of 10 everything
We had a fun-filled trip with our guide Bruno, whose sense of humor made the experience even more enjoyable. The facilities and timing were perfectly organized. I would highly recommend this trip—my favorite highlight was the stunning Pena Palace.
The castle is very nice, we also saw Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascéis, but the driver drove fatally and we felt afraid on several occasions. Dire driving!

Magnificent excursion. We hired a private tour for 7 people and Paolo took us everywhere very gracefully and effectively. He explained many things to us in the Palace of Pena q made us enjoy it more if possible. Then at the end of Rock and in Cascais we advised very well to eat. Unforgettable day, thank you Paolo
Gracias.
We joined this day trip in Cascais. Wonderful nature on the way to Sintra. So green and hilly. Thanks to the perfect organization and timing of our guide Paulo, from Tugatrips, we were able to enter anywhere with our small group without having to join the long lines everywhere. Our guide also took into account the condition of his guests and several times an alternative was offered to the participants. For example, there could be chosen for a walk uphill or rather a shuttle bus. Still some stairs to do here.
Thank you .
Wonderful excursion with João, best tour guide!!! Highly recommend Sintra and Cascais. We really enjoyed the whole day tour :)

The castle was so beautiful and the view was stunning. Could have been more structured at the beginning of the tour.
