Itinerario
Pena Palace non è solo colorato, è anche espressivo. Ci avviciniamo a Pena come un punto di vista, una visione e un momento, concentrandoci su: - L'ambientazione drammatica - Il significato dietro il suo design - Le viste panoramiche che fanno tacere i visitatori Avrai tempo per esplorare e ammirare il paesaggio senza avere fretta. (Visita interna facoltativa a seconda della scelta del biglietto e delle condizioni.)
Il castello moresco di Sintra è una fortezza medievale costruita nel IX-X secolo durante l'occupazione musulmana della penisola iberica. Arroccato sulle colline di Sintra, offre viste panoramiche mozzafiato sulla città, sulla costa atlantica e sulle lussureggianti foreste della Serra DE Sintra. Le sue antiche mura di pietra, le torri e i sentieri tortuosi raccontano la storia di secoli di conquiste e influenze culturali, rendendola uno dei punti di riferimento più atmosferici di Sintra.
Nel cuore di Sintra, potrete esplorare l'affascinante villaggio, ammirare il Palazzo Nazionale o fare una passeggiata panoramica fino all'incantevole Quinta da Regaleira. In alternativa, immergiti nella magia di questa città medievale: passeggia per le sue stradine, immergiti nell'atmosfera locale e assapora un caffè abbinato al famoso "Travesseiro" o "Queijada" due dolci tradizionali da provare assolutamente.
Il vino Colares è uno dei vini più unici e rari del Portogallo, prodotto in terreni sabbiosi vicino a Sintra. L'uva Ramisco, coltivata su viti non innestate, conferisce al vino un carattere distinto: elegante, tannico e costruito per l'invecchiamento. Come una delle più antiche regioni vinicole delimitate del Portogallo. È un vero gioiello nascosto per gli amanti del vino.
Santuário DA Peninha è un piccolo santuario del XVII secolo situato su un picco di granito drammatico all'interno del Parco Naturale Sintra-Cascais. Dal suo punto di vista, si ottengono ampie vedute sulla costa atlantica, sulla foresta e persino su Lisbona nelle giornate limpide. È un luogo tranquillo e meno conosciuto che cattura l’atmosfera mistica di Sintra lontano dalla folla.
Concludiamo la giornata a Cascais, elegante cittadina costiera dove il ritmo rallenta naturalmente. Godetevi il tempo libero per: - Passeggiata al porto turistico - Sedersi in riva all'oceano - Condividere un pranzo o un dessert tradizionale È un atterraggio dolce dopo una giornata piena e significativa.

My mom and I last minute booked this trip with Rodrigo and it was one of the best excursions we’ve ever done! Rodrigo was fabulous, we learned so much about the history of Portugal and all the sites we stopped at. The day just flew by. We didn’t know much about the palace or castle and walked away with a plethora of knowlege and amazing photos! My mom just turned 80 and he was so attentive to making sure she didn’t trip on all the cobblestones and such. He was just the best guide ever! I highly recommend this tour!!
Hello Joanna! It was great meeting you and Judie! I'm really glad you decided to join the tour, and I hope the 80th birthday trip is one you'll both remember for a long time. Wishing you both safe travels back to Seatle, and hopefully we'll meet again one day. Rodrigo :)
Rodrigo is knowledgeable, compassionate, clever, informative… you know, the kind of guide you would entrust your special guided tour to. He tailored a full day to my family’s needs and desires and delivered more than required or expected.
Hello Michael! Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. It was great spending the day with you and Kathy, and I'm happy everything came together in a way that suited you. Hope you made some great memories during your time here. Safe travels bacK to Virginia! Rodrigo :)
Rodrigo, our guide, was a fountain of knowledge about the present day and history of places we visited. His story telling method made what could have been dry facts into an entertaining narrative. The stops on this tour were so interesting and impressive. The Sintra area, near Lisbon, is a beautifully forested area that was a favorite of earlier Portuguese nobility. Our tour was done in excellent English, but he is also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. All entrance tickets were included, which saved us so much time waiting in lines. Prompt pick up at our hotel was appreciated; and his insider tips on things to see, and places to eat were valuable too. This was one of the very best guided tours we’ve ever been on; and we’ve had lots of tours all around the globe.
Hello Silvia and Charles! Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure meeting you and spending the day together. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and that the day left such a positive impression. Comments like yours make all the hard work worthwhile. Enjoy the rest of your travels, and hopefully our paths cross again someday! Rodrigo :)
Rodrigo provided an absolutely wonderful tour of Pena Palace, the Moorish castle, and insightful commentary about both, together with generous stopovers in Sintra and Cascais. The stopovers were essentially guided as well through his advice and tips. We also made a stop at the most breathtaking viewpoint imaginable. We cannot recommend Rodrigo highly enough! A truly fabulous day!
Hello Mark, Jodie and Lauren! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and sharing some of my favourite places along the route. I'm glad you got to experience a little bit of everything and make the most of the time together. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip, and wishing you safe and happy travels wherever you're off to next. Rodrigo :)
Great tour with Rodrigo in Sintra!
Hello Michael, Emma and Jackie! Thank you so much for your 5-star review. I'm glad you enjoyed the day! Rodrigo :)
Our tour guide Rodrigo went at our pace and took great care of us. He also let me know about last minute entry tickets to the palace which was amazing! If you’re into lots of walking and outdoors I recommend this tour. Just make sure to layer up as it can get very foggy and cold with the wind chill.
Hello Rosanna! Thanks so much for joining the tour and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you! Wishing you an amazing rest of your trip! Rodrigo :)
I had booked other tours on this app, what i did not realize are all the tours are independently run. And we lucked out with selecting Rodrigo , his tour group was 5 ppl and we loved the small tour as it felt like a private tour. Our original tour cancelled and we found Rodriguez a week before we were heading to Lisbon , and it turned out to be a blessing. We also appreciated that he was very responsive on the app when we had questions. Highlights Pena Pslace was the first tour and we did not have to wait, the next tour was the moor castle with amazing views. He had great knowledge of history of portugal. We loved he gave us time to explore Sintra , and gave us recommendations for the pastry shops. Next was viewpoint of view of the portugal coastline, and lunch at Cascais. Overall highly recommend this tour, as you will find lots of very similar tours. And if you have choice between this tour and another tour i recommend this tour.

You were a wonderful group, and I’m glad you enjoyed the experience from start to finish. Your recommendation means a lot to me. I hope you have many great memories from your time in Portugal and that our paths cross again in the future. Rodrigo :)
From the moment Roderigo picked us we knew we booked the best tour! He was truly amazing, so knowledgeable has the sweet smile and truly enjoys what he does and gets excited for you! The tour itself 5/5 stars, worth the amount for family of four! We learned so much and we had perfect amount of time in each area! Roderigo gave us some great recommendations as well to have a pastry, eat some local food or grab a drink! We highly recommend booking with him! If we come back we will definitely do another tour with him, our kids loved him as well and he was patient.

Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope to see you all again on a future visit. Rodrigo :)
Rodrigo was excellent. We were engaged & entertained by his insight, humour and depth of knowledge. Learning more of Portugal's history has sparked our interest to continue learning about this lovely country. The Sintra castles, their expansive vistas and lush forested grounds, were amazing. Our stop with free time for lunch in Cascais was lovely and relaxing. Rodrigo is kind and attentive to all from start to finish. A fun and informative day!
Hello Patricia and Katherine! Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. Had a great time with you during the day and it was a pleasure showing you around. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip, and safe travels back to Canada. Rodrigo :)
The tour was a full day of fun with exploring Pena and Moors castles along with exploring Sintra and Caisas. Stops are made for snacks and lunch. There is alot of walking involved, proper walking shoes needed. It is a great tour for history lovers and families with kids.
