Tour privato di Sintra e Cascais
Descrizione
Imbarcati in un tour turistico privato della storica Sintra e dei suoi splendidi dintorni. Fermati a vedere siti importanti lungo il percorso e divertiti a esplorare luoghi non inclusi nei tipici percorsi turistici. Avrai tutto il tempo di questa gita di un'intera giornata per ammirare tutti i luoghi di importanza storica e ammirare i panorami dello splendore naturale della zona. Visiterete due monumenti meno noti di Sintra: Il Palazzo Nazionale di Queluz, o Palazzo Naturale di Monserrate. Due dei palazzi meno conosciuti e "dimenticati" di Sintra, lontano dal sovraffollato Palazzo Pena. Dopo aver visto i punti salienti di Sintra guideremo attraverso il Parco Nazionale di Sintra fino alla costa. Lì visiteremo il punto più occidentale dell'Europa continentale, Cabo da Roca, e prima di tornare a Lisbona, passeremo dal villaggio costiero di Cascais.

Itinerario
Incontrerai la tua Guida al tuo Hotel o Airbnb nella zona del centro storico / centro di Lisbona e inizierai il tour.
Scopri l’affascinante palazzo di Queluz, un magnifico edificio che è cambiato nel corso della sua esistenza dal XVII secolo, e che spesso viene “trascurato”. Il palazzo combina disegni architettonici barocchi, rococò e neoclassici, mentre i giardini sono stati ispirati dagli stili francesi. Una delle prime sale visitate è l’imponente Sala del Trono. I reali erano soliti ricevere qui i loro ospiti, decorati con intagli d'oro e specchi, non è difficile essere trasportati indietro nel tempo in cui le signore e i signori danzavano in giro in balli galanti.
Guidando verso Sintra scoprirai la sua storia e, soprattutto, il parco naturale, che è stato tutto piantato a mano secoli fa.
Monserrate ha attirato numerosi visitatori internazionali, soprattutto tra gli inglesi, che ne hanno elogiato la bellezza nei resoconti di viaggio e nelle incisioni. Quando Francis Cook,visitato qui, ne rimase affascinato. Da questa passione nacque un capolavoro del Romanticismo: il Parco e il Palazzo di Monserrate. Francis Cook ha messo in pratica il suo sogno trasformando Monserrate in quello che conosciamo oggi, con i suoi giardini esuberanti, con le specie esotiche provenienti da ogni angolo del mondo. Questo palazzo rappresenta una vera e propria ode all'architettura romantica, al gusto raffinato di Francis Cook e al genio del suo architetto James Knowles Jr., che qui ha combinato varie influenze diverse. Tuttavia, la storia di questo affascinante sito è segnata da molte vicissitudini diverse. Vieni a scoprirlo con noi.
Dato che sei a Sintra, non puoi perdere l'occasione di visitare il punto più occidentale dell'Europa continentale, Cabo da Roca. Si trova a circa 140 metri sopra il mare, rendendolo una posizione molto bella per una vista panoramica sulla catena montuosa di Sintra e sulla costa, vale la pena visitare.
Dopo aver superato la spiaggia di Guincho e guidato lungo la costa, raggiungiamo Cascais. Situato vicino al mare e tradizionalmente un villaggio di pescatori, Cascais conobbe un importante periodo di sviluppo nel 14 ° secolo, quando fu un importante punto di sosta per le barche che si dirigevano verso Lisbona, trasformandolo in un porto molto frequentato in quel momento. Da lì ha avuto un periodo ancora più importante della storia, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, non è stata l'ispirazione per la spia così ben nota, "Bond. James Bond" 007. Scopri i dettagli con la tua guida.

Jaoa provides not only a safe ride, but a first class and once in a lifetime experience. A subject matter expert who pays close attention to every detail and the history associated with each respective site. If this is your first trip to Portugal, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you did not book with TakingUThere.
John was an excellent tour guide for our day trip to Sintra and Belem. He was knowledgeable, personable and flexible. He had a deep knowledge of Portugal history and was able to give us a great understanding of the history of the area. Our walking tour to the Pena Palace was fun and John stopped to show us different spots where the royal family built special spots. Our whole family enjoyed the day.
Great day …. Our tour guide Vasco was professional, patient and kind. We saw SO much in a single day and Vasco made it easy for us. This is how you should visit these areas … highly recommended
Our group of four people spent two days with Paulo visiting Sintra and Setubal. Paulo’s love for Portugal was evident and we enjoyed his enthusiasm. He shared a lot of information about the different areas and sites we visited. He was fast-paced and got us where we needed to go efficiently. We enjoyed the lunches in restaurants the locals visit. When he learned we hadn’t yet purchased authentic Portuguese tiles (but wanted to!) he took us to a family run business to learn how tiles are made and painted. We learned so much and miss Portugal already.
I am from Colombia and we spent the best day of our holiday in this experience with Paulo nobody should miss this opportunity picked us up at our hotel took us to Sintra and without it we would not have managed to get in explained us about the history of Portugal and the palace is quite a historian then took us to Cascais stop in all the places that were beautiful to meet with an energy and vitality that made our day perfect in the end led us to have the best local culinary experience in Lisbon we were fascinated Thank you Paulo for making this day the best memory We hope to come back soon and book a new tour with you
We spent the day with Rodrigo touring the Queluz Palace, seeing the packed, crazily busy Sintra and finishing with a stroll through beautiful Cascais. Rodrigo was personable, had a great wealth of knowledge and spoke English almost flawlessly. We started out at the Queluz Palace, which as you arrive, doesn't look like much, but once you get inside and get a look at the gardens, it's quite the place! And, they are doing a great job of slowly, meticulously, restoring it. We next traveled into Sintra, along with about 5,000 other tourists, most of whom seemed to arrive on multiple Cruise ship busses, swarming the small town! But, that wasn't Rodrigo's fault, just the nature of travel in this quasi-post pandemic travel storm! We left there, using a small, twisty, scenic backroad to Cabo da Roca, Europe's most Western point. It was much less crowded, had beautiful views of the ocean and was a nice break from the craziness of Sintra. We then headed along the coast to Cascais. What a beautiful, small beach town! We wish we would have known about this town when arranging our trip so we could have booked a room there. Lots of small shops, a beautiful square overlooking one beach and a smaller beach over by the marina. And, Rodrigo's knowledgeable commentary helped enjoy the visit more. We finally left there and embarked on Portugal's version of California's Pacific Coast Highway as we drove along the Atlantic, heading back to Lisbon, passing through Belem with commentary by Rodrigo. A perfect day, perfect weather and great guide!
Paolo did a wonderful job of providing us with a tour of Sintra and the surrounding area. When a rainstorm called for a change in some of our plans, we did a driving tour of Caxcais and parts of Lisboa. He clearly has a passion for his country, its culture, and food and wine. We learned a lot and invited him to join us for lunch. In return he showed us to a great seafood restaurant, locally owned for years that had the best meal we’ve had in Lisboa. We look forward to seeing Paolo for a return visit to Lisboa or maybe Morocco.
Two day tours of Sintra, Bellum, Obidos, and Batalha far exceeded our expectations. The sites not only included beautiful monuments and magnificent churches and palaces, but also adorable, quaint villages.. Our guides for these days were Paolo and John, respectively. Paolo's forte was a contagious cultural enthusiasm and pride of country, while John's was an extraordinary knowledge base of historical information. Both were extremely considerate of their clients. We highly recommend this company, specifically these two gentlemen.
Thank you so very much for your review! Me and Paulo have our unique ways of showing our country that we do love, But yes, our main goal is to give our travellers an honest and unique view of our culture, history and views. That’s why we only make private tours. It’s the only way to make things adapted to each of our travellers interests. Warmest Regards and hope to have you back soon. There is still a lot to see… ;-) Joao Dickmann
Our private tour with Paulo was outstanding!!! He tailored it to our preferences…mostly away from typical tourist attractions yet beautiful places steeped in history. His knowledge and passion for Portugal, especially with respect to our shared Jewish heritage, was amazing. We had lunch together at O Prado in Belem where he ordered for us so that we could experience a true Portuguese meal. My daughter who doesn’t eat fish ate everything..all fish and absolutely delicious. Thank you Paulo…you gave us a memory to cherish forever!!
Hello again Leslie, Portugal is known to have the best fish in Europe. Simply made with just their natural flavors . And Paulo knows where to find them.. ;-) Glad you had fun and hope to have you back again. Warmest Regards, Joao Dickmann
My wife and I booked a trip with Joao (John) for Sintra and Cascais and although the weather wasn't perfect (Rainy), the tour was outstanding. The attention to details was what made this experience, if we wanted more time here, we took more time here, if we wanted a cool seafood local restaurant, we were at a local place that made us feel like we were experiencing the real Cascals. John was very detailed oriented with things that we were interested in...just amazing!! the tour locations were bucket list items! Looking forward to our next tour when we return. Obrigado (Thank you) I learned that too Ed
Hello dear Ed, I have to say Obrigado !!!! It was a pleasure spending the day with you in Sintra, Cascais and our other locations, although it was poring buckets. But as i told you, we need water, a lot of it, as Portugal is going through a drought. Warmest Regards and again Obrigado my dear friends, Joao Dickmann
