Itinerary
Our tour departs from Lisbon to one of Portugal’s most romantic destinations: Sintra. Here we stroll through the Historic Center, take pictures and tell the history of this Villa. Here you can visit one of the following palaces: National Palace, Biester Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace, Monserrate Palace or Queluz Palace.
Then, our destination is the beach of Azenhas do Mar, known for its oceanic pool and impressive cliffs.
Now it is time to enter through the beautiful Serra de Sintra, crossing pretty old, bucolic streets, where the royal charrets passed and, a few kilometers later, we reached the westernmost point of Europe – Cabo da Roca – whose mountains, with a height of 140 meters, end by the sea and so ends Europe. On site, there is a lighthouse, a gift shop and a coffee shop.
Descending the Serra de Sintra, our route reaches the wild Praia do Guincho, one of the surfers' favourites. Because it winds too much, the waves are larger and attract athletes. Tourists are attracted by the unique beauty of the place.
Our next destination is the famous rocky formation by the sea, the Mouth of Hell. The name of the locality is due to the impact of the waves hitting the rocks, which often seem to shake the ground. The sun reflecting in the water is very beautiful, as it blends the serenity of the open sea with the strength of the waves that go against the rocks.
Our tour ends in the charming Vila de Cascais, where we will stroll through the Historic Center.

Our tour was perfect. From the beginning super well served. The Caio always very kind, explaining every point, led us to lunch in a place with excellent cost benefit. He also gave us a restaurant tip in Lisbon, not to mention that he made beautiful photos of our tour. Super indicative, thanks and until next time.
Olá Glanuza tudo bem? Obrigado pelas palavras. Foi um prazer partilhar a história dos locais que visitamos em Sintra, Cascais, Azenhas do Mar e outros destinos. Aquele restaurante é mesmo o que se quer quando se está em viagem: comida caseira e bom preço. As fotos são mesmo uma boa lembrança e é o que vocês deixaram para nós: uma ótima lembrança. Até uma próxima, Caio e Pedro
The tour was simply spectacular! We were extremely pleased with all the experience and attention received. Caio had a special care with my 4-year-old daughter and also with my father-in-law, always very attentive and patient. This made all the difference so that everyone could enjoy the walk with peace and comfort. In addition, he demonstrated an impressive knowledge of Portuguese culture, bringing very interesting information and curiosities throughout the journey. Every detail was thought out with great care and professionalism. Punctuality, organization and sympathy were present from beginning to end. It was a light, pleasant and enriching experience for the whole family. Without a doubt, one of the best tours we have ever made. Thank you for making our trip even more special!

I can say it was the best experience I have had on family trips that I make every year. Attention, kindness and very professional, but with that human warmth different from other tours that I already bought. I came to the conclusion that a pleasant tour like this completely changes the place you visit so I highly recommend. Thank you for everything. Cordially Miguel Hernández
