Itinerary
Welcome to our Home town! Apart from non-touristic viewpoints inside the natural park (and obviously the stunning nature, that will be everywhere you look) , we welcome you to decide which monument you wish to visit in the inside ( more than one will be very exhausting for one day only, believe us!) and give you our best recommendations to help you decide! You will get to see all of them from the outside or viewpoints, don’t worry
This will be one of the possibilities for you to visit in the inside! Yes, it’s exactly the one you’re thinking of, the famous fairy-tail like, colorful Palace on the top of the mountain - Pena Palace!
Another of Sintra's many attractions you can choose to visit - Sits next to Pena Palace, on the top of the mountain showing off its fortress walls and breathtaking views!
Another of the monuments that you can choose to visit The mesmerizing first Palace made in Portugal and its iconic chimneys sits in the middle of Sintra Historical center! You can visit the Palace in the inside or just stool around the center's narrow streets and get a taste of the best local pastries!
This is another of the possibilities that you can choose to visit! A one of a kind property, with tons of mystical references, mystery gardens, enigmatic grottoes and of course the famous Iniciatic Well!
After crossing the mountain, we arrive to where the land ends and the sea begins: the most westerly point of mainland Europe! Please make sure you get your camera ready because this place is a real-life postcard!
Following by the beautiful ocean-front roads & white sandy beaches such as Guincho we reach our last destination, the scenic fishing village and a former vacation destination for the Portuguese Royal family! Here you will have free time to stroll around the village and it's cobbled streets!

I really enjoyed this tour, as we got to see a little bit of everything. Very beautiful sites and views. My favourite part was the Quinta da regaleira so make sure to include that ticket in your package. Alex was our guide it he was really wonderful and made the experience a wonderful one
Raphael was fantastic. His knowledge, love of history and Portugal was beyond impressive. We loved our day and time with Raphael!!!
An incredible experience in Cascais and the Pena Palace! 🌸🏰 We enjoyed the trip a lot, and a large part of the experience was thanks to our guide, Alex. He was very attentive, kind, and professional, he explained everything to us in a very entertaining way and managed to make the tour even more special. Without a doubt, we recommend taking this excursion with Alex. A 10/10 guide and an unforgettable day! 😊👏
A great day trip, visiting beautiful places with an exceptional guide Alex. I wouldn't miss it.
Raphael is hands down the best tour guide i have ever had! He was extremely knowledgable and made sure everyone was safe and had a good time. I’ll be sure to book again when i come back with other family/friends!!
Raphael was awesome!!!! lots of walking but saw a lot of highlights. wish we packed a few snacks for the later half of the day
Raphael was a great tour guide filled with lots of information and humor. The tour was very beautiful and enjoyable
Initially, I was not happy with my vacation in Portugal and I really liked it here, but after this tour, I am starting to like this country more and more with its beautiful beaches and incredible monuments, and it is thanks to this day which was extraordinary thanks to our exceptional guide Rafael, thank you very much, he is very kind, tells the history of the country, takes his time so that everyone understands, and he gives you time to visit, I highly recommend it, Obrigado.
Alex was very punctual, well organized and friendly from the moment we started the tour till we were dropped off at the hotel. He had thorough knowledge of Sintra’s history and answered all our questions. He was patient, flexible and paid attention to our needs. He made us all welcome and included. It was a great tour and we left with great memories. I also need to mention about my multiple emails prior to our trip with Ana who patiently responded to all my questions and sent a detailed reminder the day before our tour.
Loved the experience. Filipe our guide cum driver explained the history of Portugal very well and prepared us all of what to expect. Peña palace was outstanding in terms of the eclectic architecture and the brilliant views. Regaleira was also very interesting and spookily beautiful. Cabo da roca and the drive to get there with all the stories of James Bond and all was very interestingly told by Filipe. Later we visited Cascais had lunch learnt about the spy world of the WW2 … All in all a fantastic experience specially the drive back along the ocean to Lisbon
