Excursão turística privada para Sintra e Cascais
Descrição
Embarque em um passeio turístico privado pela histórica Sintra e seus arredores deslumbrantes. Pare para ver lugares importantes ao longo do caminho e desfrute de explorar lugares não incluídos em rotas turísticas típicas. Você terá bastante tempo nesta excursão de dia inteiro para tomar em todos os pontos de importância histórica e admirar vistas do esplendor natural da área. Você visitará dois monumentos menos conhecidos de Sintra: O Palácio Nacional de Queluz, ou o Palácio Natural de Monserrate. Dois dos palácios menos conhecidos e "esquecidos" de Sintra, longe do sobrecarregado Palácio Pena. Depois de ver os destaques de Sintra vamos dirigir através do Parque Nacional de Sintra para a costa. Lá visitaremos o ponto mais ocidental da Europa continental, Cabo da Roca, e antes de voltar para Lisboa, passaremos pela aldeia costeira de Cascais.

Itinerário
Você encontrará seu Guia em seu hotel ou Airbnb na área da cidade velha/centro-cidade de Lisboa e começará seu passeio.
Descubra o fascinante palácio de Queluz, um edifício magnífico que mudou ao longo de sua existência desde o século XVII, e é muitas vezes “esquecido”. O palácio combina projetos arquitetônicos barrocos, rococó e neoclássicos, enquanto os jardins foram inspirados nos estilos franceses. Uma das primeiras salas visitadas é a impressionante Sala do Trono. A realeza costumava receber aqui seus convidados, decorados com esculturas de ouro e espelhos, não é difícil ser transportado de volta a um tempo em que as senhoras e senhores dançavam em torno de bolas valentes.
Dirigindo para Sintra, você descobrirá a história e, o mais importante, o parque natural, que foi plantado à mão séculos atrás.
Monserrate atraiu numerosos visitantes internacionais, especialmente entre os britânicos, que elogiaram sua beleza em suas contas de viagens e gravuras. Quando Francis Cook, visitou aqui, ele ficou fascinado. Desta paixão surgiu uma obra-prima do romantismo: o Parque e o Palácio de Monserrate. Francis Cook colocou seu sonho em prática transformando Monserrate no que conhecemos hoje, com seus exuberantes jardins, com as espécies exóticas provenientes de todos os cantos do mundo. Este palácio representa uma verdadeira odia à arquitetura romântica, o sabor refinado de Francis Cook e o gênio de seu arquiteto James Knowles Jr., que combinou várias influências diferentes aqui. No entanto, a história deste lugar encantador é marcada por muitas vicissitudes diferentes. Venha descobrir isso conosco.
Como você está em Sintra, não pode perder a oportunidade de visitar o ponto mais ocidental da Europa continental, o Cabo da Roca. Fica a cerca de 140 metros acima do mar, sendo um local muito agradável para uma vista panorâmica sobre a serra e o litoral de Sintra, valendo a pena a visita.
Depois de passar a praia do Guincho e dirigir ao longo da costa, chegamos a Cascais. Situado perto do mar e tradicionalmente uma vila de pescadores, Cascais desfrutou de um importante período de desenvolvimento no século XIV, quando era um importante ponto de parada para barcos a caminho de Lisboa, transformando-o em um porto muito movimentado na época. A partir daí, houve um período ainda mais importante na história, durante a 2ª Guerra Mundial, uma inspiração para o espião tão conhecido "Bond. James Bond" 007. Descubra os detalhes com o seu guia.

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
