Excursion privée d'une journée à Obidos et Sintra au départ de Lisbonne
Description
Au cours de cette visite, vous découvrirez la magie des châteaux portugais de la période médiévale au romantisme. Sintra est le point de départ de cette visite. Site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, capitale du romantisme, à seulement 26 km de Lisbonne, Sintra abrite les palais d'été de la famille royale depuis le XIVe siècle. Vous aurez l'occasion de visiter l'un de ces palais royaux de Sintra. Si vous avez la dent sucrée, vous devez goûter les pâtisseries traditionnelles. À cent kilomètres au nord de Sintra, notre circuit atteindra Obidos, un charmant village médiéval dans les murs de la défense. Ici, vous pourrez déguster la liqueur typique de la région, la «Ginja», servie dans une tasse de chocolat. Obidos est le meilleur exemple des villes médiévales du Portugal. En entrant dans ses murs, nous remontons le temps, en parcourant les anciennes ruelles de pierre, face à des maisons aux façades séculaires peintes en blanc, au commerce toujours actif et aux innombrables églises construites au cours des siècles.

Itinéraire
Sintra est sans aucun doute l'un des endroits les plus extraordinaires du Portugal. Son microclimat transforme cette petite ville située sur les pentes de la chaîne de montagnes «Serra de Sintra» et à côté de l'Atlantique en une attraction majeure pour les visiteurs qui s'y rendent pour admirer ses célèbres châteaux et palais ou simplement déguster la cuisine traditionnelle, les pâtisseries et les bonbons . Et n’oublions pas les boutiques de souvenirs vendant des produits locaux typiques. Nous nous arrêterons dans le centre historique où vous aurez le temps d'essayer les célèbres «travesseiros» et «queijadas» dans la pâtisserie Piriquita et explorer les rues étroites de la ville la plus romantique du Portugal. Visitez l'un de ces palais: le palais national de Sintra, le palais national de Pena, la Quinta da Regaleira, le palais de Monserrate (en option - des frais d'entrée s'appliquent)
La ville d'Obidos est une ancienne ville romaine qui a continué à prospérer même après la chute de l'empire en raison de l'énorme activité commerciale à travers le port maritime. Au Moyen Âge, un mur a été construit autour de lui après avoir été conquis par le premier roi du Portugal, Afonso I. Obidos est le meilleur exemple d'un village médiéval au Portugal. Nous remontons le temps en nous promenant dans cette ville fortifiée, avec ses ruelles pavées étroites, ses maisons aux façades séculaires peintes en blanc, un quartier commerçant animé et un certain nombre d'églises construites au fil des siècles. Nous avons la sensation des batailles menées ici pour chaque pied carré de terre. Nous ne repartirons pas sans avoir goûté au fameux «Ginga de Obidos», une liqueur sucrée locale servie sur une petite tasse en chocolat.

Vasco our guide was very flexible with time at each stop. He gave us suggestions about what to see. He also gave us a very good history of Portugal.
Thank you , Michael, for your input.
We had a wonderful tour with Rodrigo as our guide. Six friends on vacation for our 40th birthdays. It was a rainy day but he designed the tour so that we got the best weather and he was flexible with where we wanted to go. We didn’t feel rushed and still got to see so much. Lots of laughs and the perfect balance of giving us facts and history but still letting us do our own thing. A memorable trip, would recommend!
Dear Emily, Thank you so much for your review.
Sandra is an excellent tour guide and driver. She is very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and friendly. Highly recommended.
Thank you, Kate, for your review. We're very proud to have Sandra as part of our team. She is one of the best driver-guides in the country.
We had a great day trip to Obidos and then Sintra. Vasco from Premiere Tours was our guide and driver. He picked us up at our hotel and we set out for Obidos. Along the way, he did a great job of sharing information about life in Portugal, the history of the area and where we were going.We arrived in Obidos before it got crowded and could really enjoy the village while it was still quiet. Vasco showed us the castle and how to walk to the ledge at the top of the castle wall. He then showed us around town and then took us to a shop where authentic, ginja is made. That was a highlight, and we bought some ginja to take home. After Obidos, we drove on to Sintra. We walked around the town and then took a tour of the Pena Palace. The palace was very interesting. There’s a lot to see in Sintra, but we only had time for a couple of places. We returned to Lisbon later that day. The day was very nice.
Thank you so much for your review
We had a lovely day with Vasco with our driver. He accommodated every aspect of our day. Just wish we had more time. Sintra was very rushed to no fault of Vasco the day just ran away on us. Over all great day.
Laura, Thank you so much for your review. Good things go by so fast, but the memories stay for a long time.
Ricardo was full of historical facts about the area we visited. Pace of schedule was great. Got us back to our hotel on time.
Thank you so much for your preference with Premiere Tours Portugal.
We are very seasoned travelers visiting over 70 countries. We travel frequently with another couple and are extremely discrete and particular about our guides and our drivers. After a great deal of research we chose Premiere Tours due to their outstanding recognition as best tour company in Portugal as well as a phone call I made to the owner to insure we were getting not only a qualified driver but an outstanding English speaking driver. We had very specific things we wanted to see and hired Premier Tours for a customized 9 hour tour. Our driver was a certified Official Portuguese certified guide and he was an amazing driver. We hired a Mercedes Van and the car was clean and comfortable. Our guide spent the entire day informing us of so many amazing fact and showed us many “unknown” secrets of Portugal. We had an amazing day. I would highly recommend Premier Tours without any reservations. You will be thrilled if you are lucky enough to have the experience we had during our amazing day together.
Such kind words, John. We cannot thank you enough...
Renato was our private tour guide to Sintra and Obidus. He was wonderful, very personable,. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history of the places we visited and answered all of our questions. We had heard that the Pena Palace is usually very crowded. When we were there it was very foggy. We didn't have any view from the Palace, but we also were able to get in without having to stand in line forever. This tour does not give much time to explore the town of Sintra, but with the bad weather it didn't matter to us. Renato was very accommodating, a very good driver. The van was very comfortable for the five of us,
Thank you so much Sidney for your review.
Had a wonderful time! Óbidos was charming and Pena Palace in Sentra was beautiful. Really enjoyed our driver , Anthony, who provided great cultural and historical insights as well as tips for the rest of our travels in Portugal.
Thank you so much for your review. We hope to see you back soon.
Our guide, Vasco was a knowledgeable and personable young man. The scenery and sites are magnificent. Looking at the history around this beautiful part of the world was a day to remember. We would passionately recommend this tour to anyone whom may consider it. Having a personal guide made the experience so much more enjoyable.
Dear Cheryl, Thank you so much for your kind words and for electing Premiere Tours as your private tour company in Portugal Kind regards, Jorge Bras
