Next we head for Historical Sintra. Here our guests will be given the freedom to stroll through the town and purchase lunch (at their own expense). Once reconvened with our guide we stop at a local gourmet shop to try out the local famous "Queijdas de Sintra". Our next stop is at "Casa Piriquita". A landmark in Sintra, the Piriquita is famous for its travesseiros - a dessert made of puff pastry with a filling of almond cream.
Moving forward we have the stunning Quinta da Regaleira. This yet another UNESCO-listed site has anciently carved buildings, incredible gardens and a gothic breeze that will enchant anyone who dares to enter. We will just be passing by on our wait to Cabo da Roca, Europe's Westernmost Point.
We'll pass by Monserrate Palace as well, on our way to Cabo da Roca.
Heading back we'll stop at Cabo da Roca, Europe's Westernmost Point. Enjoy some free time to stroll around and take wonderful pictures under the sun.
Our trip ends with a brief visit to the Hell's Mouth (Boca do Inferno) and Cascais - a coastal town where many Portuguese Royal Families vacationed in the past. We would not consider this trip a success if you didn’t experience the coastal splendor of Cascais.

Ricardo was a wonderful guide. He shared a lot of local history with us that made the journey memorable. We will return!

We had a great experience touring Lisbon on our private tour with Ricardo. He had such obvious competence and knowledge of the city that we put ourselves in his hands and he did not disappoint. We drove to several locations in the Lisbon area and Ricardo explained their importance, where we could shop and the best places to snack or eat. After a thoroughly enjoyable morning we went to the castle of Sintra. Ricardo accompanied us on the tour and was a wealth of knowledge on the general history of Portugal and the individual aspects of the castle and its inhabitants. Strongly recommend that you ask for Ricardo--you will not be disappointed and you will definitely learn something.

The palace was beautiful and Sintra was a magical town in and of itself. I love the whole experience - from touring Sintra to exploring the coastline.

We spent a full day visiting Cascais and Sintra. Fernando was our guide and he taught us so much of the history of the area. We were impressed with all the knowledge he had of the areas and the absolute beauty of the areas we were touring. We highly recommend this tour and this guide! So professional from start to finish.
