Itinerary
Free time in the historic center of Sintra. Sintra is a testament to almost every era in Portugal's history. And it goes far beyond that, Sintra is a find of vestiges of the history of Humanity itself. From the Paleolithic and Neolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages, passing through the Roman Period, then the Muslim domain, from the foundation of Portugal (on January 9, 1154, D. Afonso Henriques grants a charter to the town of Sintra) to the Discoveries, Sintra, which survived the 1755 earthquake, has its golden period between the end of the 20th century and the end of the 20th century. XVIII and the whole century. XIX.
Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point of mainland Europe, a place not to be missed on this tour. "Where the sea begins and the land ends" and where there is the lighthouse considered the most beautiful in the world
wonderful avenue that goes from Cascais to Lisbon, always next to the sea, a breathtaking view

Our cruise finished in Lisbon early on a Sunday morning in May, and we were not flying home until 6 pm. The cruise line didn't offer anything, so we went looking on Viator for something to fill the time. About a month before the cruise, we found this tour. We had questions, and emailed the tour operator, who responded as soon as they opened the next day. They confirmed that we could get picked up at the cruise port, with our luggage, and at the end of the tour we would be dropped off at the airport. On the day of the tour Davide was there a few minutes early, and gave me a call to say where to meet. We found him easily and he packed our luggage in his car, and headed off to Cabo da Roca. On the drive to Cabo da Roca, he gave us info on the city and some of the things we were seeing, and what to expect when we got there. We got there early, before it was too busy and crowded, and had about 20 minutes to take in the views, take pictures, and go to the gift shop which was the perfect amount of time for us, and we left as the crowd started getting bigger. We then drove to Pena Palace in Sintra. It was close, but there was traffic (which Davide told us was not nearly a bad as it gets in the summer) so it took about 20 minutes to get there. We got a parking spot in the lot and Davide took us up to the Palace. On the way up he pointed out the gardens and explained the trees we were seeing and what part of the world they came from. He already had our tickets, and got us through the entrance gate, skipping the line that was already forming. We all walked up the hill to the Palace, and once it was in view Davide told us the history, explained why it was built, and why it was different styles and colors. We had a specific time to get in the Palace so he took us to the line and brought us up to the door. Guided tours are not allowed in the building, so we went through alone and he met us at the exit. He then took us to a few other places around the Palace we would have missed if we were on our own. When it was time to go, he drove us to the airport. We look forward to our next trip to Portugal, and will be sure to look for LRS for any tours we want to take.

Absolutely amazing experience. 10 out of 10. I have taken tours all over the world and Pedro was the best guide I've ever had. So easy going, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the experience one we will all remember! I will be recommending Pedro to anyone I know that is traveling to Portugal.

The private 4 hour tour was from Lisbon to Sintra then Cascais, back to Lisbon. It was enough time to see the castles, town and beach. A good tour guide is hard to find and I would recommend Pedro in the Lisbon area! Pedro Correa was a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide! He also took wonderful pictures along the way so we could focus on the sites and scenery! His communication was also fantastic and he offered many suggestions for other areas of Portugal!

Anna was an amazing tour guide. She spend the exact right amount of time at our stops and let us wander the right amount of time. She gave 110% and we really appreciated all the information. Love, Doug and Brenda from NC, USA

Totally misleading tour by LRS don't waste your time and money! We paid circa £200 and ended up in a car that was so far from luxurious it caused us all to feel extremely travel sick!! There was no time in Cascais just a drive through and we were returned to the hotel within 2.5 hours so not a half day tour for sure! After complaining the tour operator denied the above and was quite rude/aggressive (the company is LRS not Viator as Viator are the middleman) . DO NOT BOOK WITH LRS TRY A DIFFERENT COMPANY!!
We decide to do this tour and it was unforgettable, we had a lovely guide ( Andre ) and he was awesome, he showed us a lot of great thing and we loved it . We definitely recommend Andre

Diogo was excellent, high energy, strong problem solver and attentive. We visited Sintra village and surroundings had some pastries there then went to Quinta de regaleira, we could have done more but we had a 6 year old with us. Highly recommend!

We had a amazing time , since we were on à tight schedule the half day tour was perfect for us . We had time to do the park and the palace of Peña , the moorish castle and Cabo da Roca . It was private and flexible.
