Visit to the beautiful and historic town of Sintra, a UNESCO world heritage site. Discover the picturesque streets, the Sintra National Palace, the fountains, the churches, chapels and shrines.
Climb to the Moorish Castle where the construction of the first sections of its wall dates from the 8th and 9th century. From the castle, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the whole region. It can’t be missed!
The next stop is the Pena Palace where you can admire a mix of architectural styles in the interior as well as in the exterior. The Pena Palace is one of the best examples of Romanticism from the 19th century. Make sure to have your camera ready to capture the fantastic landscape surrounding the Palace.
Next, discover the most westerly point of continental Europe. From the cliff tops, enjoy the fantastic view of the beaches and the sea. From the road near the coast, you can gaze at the beaches and the beautiful towns of Estoril and Cascais.
On the way back, we will have the chance to enjoy this unique beach with its famous dunes. A real sanctuary for surf, windsurf and kitesurf.
And of course we can’t leave without visiting the charming town of Cascais. This former fishing village used to be a royal getaway. Nowadays it still is one of the most attractive destinations for the Portuguese and foreign elite thanks to all that it has to offer: boutiques, restaurants, hotels, beaches and much more.

Jose was a great guide! Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and tailored the day to meet our expectations. Highly recommend!
What an unbelievable experience we had--thanks to Jose Ribero who was more than a guide. Jose is not only full of amazing information, he is so lovely, fun, flexible and overall just a great person! He took us off the beaten path to places we'd never have found on our own. It was a magical day all because of him. Jose was like family by the end of our time together. We still miss him!!!
Wonderful tour. Our guide Jose was fantastic and was happy to accommodate all our requests. Would highly recommend
The day trip from Lisboa to the coast was fantastic. Our guide, Jose Ribeiro, was as entertaining as he was informative. His depth of knowledge was impressive, his English was perfect, and his energy and humor made the several-hour trip move quickly. We were introduced to the Cascais fortress, the impressive Colares lighthouse and a unique vineyard growing their grapes in the sand near the shoreline. For lunch Jose took us off the beaten path to a restaurant perfectly located on the beach that we would've never found on our own. The views were as spectacular as the dishes we devoured. We toured the palace of Sintra and the very colorful palace of Pena. Both were full of interesting history and scenic views. If you're based in Lisboa and looking for a day-trip, this should be at the top of your list. If you can get Jose to guide you, even better.
Jose was amazing, a very friendly and charismatic guide. He took us to more places than Penna. This was one of the best days of our trip to Portugal, unforgettable. Thank you so much Jose
Excellent activity. Our guide Nuno was very competent and very friendly. We visited all the planned monuments and others that were not planned.
Jose was an excellent tour guide! He was so knowledgeable. He picked us up on time at our hotel and by the time we reached Sintra we felt like he was part of our family! We saw all 4 castles and palaces which is exactly what we hoped for. He didn’t rush us but made sure we met our timed entrance requirements on our tickets. Not an easy task for sure! He even showed us a few sights in Lisbon on our return to the hotel. We would highly recommend this tour. It was our favorite part of our entire vacation!
Amazing tour! Loved the palace, and the grounds! If you have the time I would definitely recommend walking the grounds a bit, it’s very beautiful! Our tour guide, Oscar was wonderful, he did a great job and I would definitely recommend him!
<p>We were picked up at our hotel to start this fabulous day. Sampled the local pastries and liquor filled chocolate. Arrived early to the Palace w/fast entrance to see everything before the lines started. Sightseeing of the coast and shoreline and an absolutely fantastic lunch overlooking the ocean!!! Thank You!!!</p>
Manuel picked us up on time - and we were off to Sintra. We were to be in a shared van but it was just my husband and me in a car! Saw beautiful castles, forts, beaches, and the Pena Palace. Breathtaking! I highly recommend this trip and if you get Manuel - you'll be very fortunate.
