Cascais is a Portuguese village in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area subregion, belonging to the region with the same name and the district of Lisbon, with 64,310 inhabitants. Its origins as an independent entity date from the Carta da Vila, of June 7, 1364, in which King D. Pedro I of Portugal separated it from the term of Sintra, due to its economic development. Administratively, it only became independent in 1514. Occupied since the Paleolithic period, and with an important archaeological heritage, the municipality was focused on agricultural production, fishing and resource extraction from an early age. Its strategic position in Barra do Tejo also contributed to its importance, today boasting a vast military architectural heritage. Due to its natural and scenic values, both the town and the municipality experienced a surge in popularity that saw it become the preferred destination for Portuguese and foreign elites from the 19th century onwards.

Johnny met us at the designated meeting point on time. We just loved the small group setting. Our group was driven around in a spiffed up Mercedes mini van equipped with bottled water, wifi and great temp controls to heat and cool down the van as you desired. We started at the Pena Palace first and it did not disappoint. Just stunning views all over the place. i took my friend's advice and opted out of seeing the inside of the tower. The great views are all outside of the palace and there really is no need to go inside. Johnny then took us to Sintra downtown. Such a cute shopping district with that old European charm. He gave us great freedom on how long we wanted to stay at each site. It was our van and he let us know we could change the times at each sight if we wanted--great flexibility. Right before lunch, he took us to Cabo de Roca, the most westernmost point in Europe. We had a super seafood lunch (all fresh catches). Then capped off the day in Cascais. Recommend this tour highly. Pena itself is worth the trip.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! John (Joao) was not only a pleasure to have as a driver but very knowledgeable! He talked to us about the history of Lisbon, the history of Cascais and Sintra! The trip was a small group that ended up being just us, and we LOVED IT! I was traveling with my mom and my 16 year old son, and he was super interested in everything John had to say. We absolutely recommend this tour. Both Cascais and Sintra are must see towns!

Our family recently took a private small group tour of Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais. Our tour guide Miguel was simply wonderful. He was on time, courteous, extremely friendly, and accommodating. I can't think of any other way to visit the three destinations for a small group than this. You get to visit all the places without having to worry about parking or driving. Miguel is also very knowledgeable to inform us of the history and stories behind things. He has great recommendations for snacks/lunch/food in Sintra and Cascais. Our family of four with two kids had a splendid time on the tour. Would definitely recommend this to friends or anyone who is visiting Lisbon.
Hi, It was a perfect day, in great company.. Thank you for the words!!! Best Regards Miguel
Miguel was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly, have a fantastic private experience. Very clean and safe vehicle, he was attentive to our needs and gave excellent recommendations to dine and places to see. Don't pass this up. He meets you earlier than other tours for a very good reason. You get to Pena Palace before all the crowds.
it was a wonderful day in excellent company. thanks for your words it was a pleasure. best regards Miguel Morais
Miguel our guide was knowledgeable & humerus. The sights were amazing without worrying about parking. Would certainly use this company again.
Excellent choice to know more about Portugal and Miguel was an excellent host who made the walk very enjoyable.
