Itinerary
Take a walk through the mysterious Pena Park (ticket and guided visit included), with an astonishing variety of plants and trees. The park was planted with the help of a German Engineer, a specialist in botany. Feel like royalty as you enter the romantic Pena National Palace (ticket included, no guided visit inside the Palace) at the top of the Sintra Mountain with amazing views of the Moorish castle.
In Sintra old town, there is free time for lunch, before meeting the guide again for the second part of the tour.
After lunch, we arrive at Quinta da Regaleira (ticket included), one of the highlights of Sintra. Visiting Regaleira is like travel on an imaginary universe full of symbols and metaphors. There is always a sign of something intense and transcendent. The guide enters in the park with you, gives you informations and directions, and then you have free time to explore this luxurious park, heading to the Initiation Well, discovering hidden secrets and entering mysterious tunnels.
Not actually a well! It was used for rituals inspired by the Knights Templar.
After leaving Sintra, we take the mountain road heading to the Western most point of continental Europe for a picture stop. These 100+ meter high cliffs are amazing
Before returning to Lisbon, we do a small stop in the bay of Cascais, where beach, local food, old town and fisheries combine. Great stop for pictures and maybe time for an icecream.

I found our tour guide to be argumentative and immature. Always looking to argue about something. I enjoyed the tour part but he really put a cloud over the day
Alberto is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable, respectful and kind. I learned so much about Portugal history and culture from him. We visited Regalaria, Pena palace, Cascais and the light house. We saw so many places and 8 hours flew by so fast. I had internet access problems and he was very helpful in making sure he was accessible and even shared his hotspot with me. I encourage everyone to take this tour.
Alberto was a perfect guide and made the whole experience way more enjoyable. He kept perfect timings which makes the most of our time in terms of sightseeing. 10/10 for him.
Great tour All 4 places were interesting and as advertised Be prepared for long uphill walks and steps but worth it
Orlando did a great job telling us the history behind where we went

What a wonderful experience! We took the tour and our guide was Alberto who was amazing. He was kind, thoughtful, personable, knowledgable and fun. From the start of the tour, he took the time to get to know each of us in order to make sure to point out things that may be of personal interest to us! We have some outstandig memorable moments and pictures from this tour. Thank you Alberto for going above and beyond! Gioia and Tony (the Springfield Crew)
