Visit one monument of your choice: - Pena Palace - Sintra National Palace - Monserrate’s Park and Palace - Capuchos Convent| Moors Castle - The Regaleira Magic Garden
You will then have the opportunity to visit the mysterious and romantic town of Sintra, classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. There, you can choose to visit one of the following monuments: - the Pena Palace, the best example of the Romanticism style in Portugal; - the Sintra National Palace, a medieval royal residence; - the Monserrate's Park and Palace, an eclectic place where you can explore romantic gardens with exotic species; - the Capuchos Convent, known for its extreme bareness of the architectural and decorative elements; - the Moors Castle, a fortress located on the top of a hill; - the Regaleira Estate, one of the most magical sceneries one can find in Sintra. In either case, you will be accompanied by the guide, who will give explanations about the sites. You will then have time to explore the centre of the town and have lunch. You can ask the guide for recommendations of restaurants. Take some time to stroll around the narrow streets of Sintra and taste its delicious sweets such as "queijadas" or "travesseiros".
Lunch is in an unforgettable place for its uniqueness and price-quality ratio.
After lunch, it is time to go to the Roca Cape, the westernmost point of Continental Europe.
Then, head to Cascais, the lovely town by the sea with an old fishing tradition. Here there will be time to see the town center and all the bay area.
Before returning to Lisbon, take the chance to drive by Estoril, that used to be a place of refuge during the II World War.

We have been in Portugal for 2 weeks and Andre was by far the most knowledgeable and professional tour guide during our time in Portugal. He was patient with our questions and was succinct with his answers. He gave us time to explore Cascais and Sintra with recommendations for places to explore and restaurants to have lunch I highly recommend this tour and ask for Andre. You won’t be disappointed!
Amazing day. Pedro is a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. Our private full day tour was incredible. Thx
The tour was well organized, but the guide was more of a driver and less as a guide. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the tour very much. Cabo da Roca and Pena Palace were just amazing.
We booked a day tour with Tripadvisor for the first time. Harald, our guide, was at the hotel on time and looked after us really well throughout the day. He also asked about our individual wishes and made great suggestions for the day tour. Many thanks to Harald for his efforts and the wealth of information about the country and its people.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The experience was a unique educational experience that was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Pedro was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and his passion and enthusiasm made the day so much fun.
Sintra is a nice little town. It hosts several castles in the heights that allow a beautiful view of Lisbon. Be careful, to access these different castles, you can do it by car, tourist bus or on foot (in this case, plan good shoes and allow more than an hour to access). To get back down there, also count more than an hour since the village at the bottom of the castles is 3/4km away. If you are going in February, plan on getting warm enough jackets.
Today we went to Sintra and Cascais with Paulo and Tereza and we could not be more comfortable. Great people. Personalized treatment, they took the tour forward although we were only 2 people and always watching our tastes. Very punctual and professional. I recommend it 100%.
Gracias. Habéis sido una pareja de lo más aventurero. Un placer comer y compartir ideas con vosotros.
We have toured Sintra and Cascais. We have loved having an amazing day with our guide Gonzalo. He explained everything to us super well, we laughed and enjoyed it so much!!! We will repeat if we come back here!! Thank you Gonzalo on behalf of the 4 !!!😊
Buenos dias muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos aseguraremos de transmitirle sus palabras a Gonçalo. Esperamos darle la bienvenida de nuevo a Lisboa pronto. ¡Hasta pronto!
It was a great experience! Gonzalo accompanied my parents, my brother and me for almost all day on our visit to Sintra, Castle De la Pena and Cascais (among many more stops not least). He's been great, he's a great guide! Thanks to your company we have learned a lot and did not miss any details during the whole trip. Also, he is very attentive; my father had a little sore leg and was watching his well-being throughout the day. My family and I recommend the experience without hesitation!
Hola, Gracias por sus amables palabras. Nos hace muy felices que toda su familia a disfrutado de su día en Sintra. Informaremos a Gonçalo de sus comentarios y esperamos darle la bienvenida de nuevo a Lisboa pronto. ¡Nos vemos pronto!
We spent a day with Gonçalo as a guide. Everything was super organized, Gonçalo has a lot of detailed knowledge, is humorous and polite. Can only recommend the tour with him 👍🏼
