Sintra is without a doubt one of the most extraordinary places in Portugal. Its microclimate transforms this small town situated on the slopes of the mountain range “Serra de Sintra” and next to the Atlantic into a major attraction for visitors who go there to admire its famous castles and palaces or simply taste the traditional food, pastries and sweets. And let’s not forget the souvenir shops selling typical local items. We will stop in the historic center where you will have time to try the famous “travesseiros” and “queijadas” in the Piriquita Pastry Shop and explore the narrow streets of the most romantic town in Portugal. Visit to one of these palaces: National Palace of Sintra, Pena Palace, “Quinta da Regaleira”, Palace of Monserrate. (optional visit)

This old Roman town of fishermen became a well-known beach resort in the 20th century.

The trip was very good and fun, especially by our guide Rodrigo, friendly and helpful, even when it was almost impossible to park due to traffic or the high influx of other tourists, I recommend.
Muito obrigado pelo comentário, Isabel.
Sandra our tour guide was extremely helpful showing us all around. Premier tours is an excellent choice and Jorge is there to help you make the right choice.Highly recommend this company.
Thank you so much Roberto. We're looking forward to seeing you back, to discover more of our spectacular Portugal with Premiere Tours.
Rod was wonderful! Friendly, charismatic and he gave some great suggestions. We had a great day. He knew a lot about the history of the places we visited, and he personalized the trip to meet our needs.
Thank you Laura for your review.
This was a truly memorable tours by Premiere Tours. Booking was easy, email questions were answered within hours. The tour guide was professional, knowledgeable and considerate of our needs. Amazing itinerary, views and architecture. Finally, the value cannoy be beat!
Thank you so much for the feedback.
We went with another couple and had a fabulous time. Jorge was very knowledgeable and was very friendly and accommodating. He is one of 200 master tour guides in Portugal. His English was excellent and he was well travelled around the world. It helps to have WhatsApp so you can contact him when you are ready to leave since parking is ridiculously hard. One of the best tour guides we’d ever had. We really enjoyed Sintra and the views were fantastic. He got us back to the ship exactly on time.
Thank you so much for your review. It was a pleasure guiding you.
This was a highly enjoyable trip and one I recommend. It ended up just my wife and I with Vasco our driver who took us around and helped us explore the country! We enjoyed the free time in Cascais but my favorite was the time at the coast near the Westernmost point exploring some of the trails there as we were able to adjust our time as long as we reached Sintra in time! The castle was fascinating given the length of history and the mix of styles incorporated. Not a boring castle/cathedral which we saw many times on our tour across Spain. Overall, I highly recommend- the flexibility and the chance to get out along the coast were my highlights! Vasco was amazing and we enjoyed spending the day with him.
Tim, Thank you so much for electing Premiere Tours Portugal as your guiding company. I am very proud of Vasco's work as well as all the other driver-guides in our team that made Premiere Tours the number one private tour company in Portugal.
Wonderful day tour with Premiere Tours. Sintra is amazing and so is the coastal area of Cascais and Estoril. Our guide Rui was friendly and professional. Highly recommend this company.
Thank you so much for your review Cooper.
Our family booked a day trip to Sintra and Cascais with Jorge in June, 2023. He was an outstanding guide — highly knowledgeable, witty, and very focused on meeting the needs of our group. One reason we selected this group was their ability to accompany us inside monuments/castles, etc. to tell us the history of the places — many tour guides offered by the hotel were available, but were really more drivers and could not come inside the historic sites which was something that we wanted. Overall, this was a 5/5 tour and guide. Private car and guide experience were among the best we’ve had.
Thank you so much Nicole. It was a pleasure meeting you and your group. I wish you all the best.
We had an excellent, customized, private tour today with Pedro from Premiere Tours. He picked us up from our Lisbon hotel in a very comfortable Mercedes sedan for a full day trip to Sintra and the coast. Pedro is a great driver, informative, and engaging with a fun sense of humor. During the day, he shared a lot of Portugal and Lisbon’s history with us. We also had interesting conversations about family and daily life. That personal touch made is what made the tour special. Despite the rain, we were able to visit the Peña Palace and the National Palace. We also visited the beach towns of Estoril and Cascais. We especially liked going out to lunch with Pedro at Estrella da Serra and stopping at Boca Inferno for a great photo op. We highly recommend Premiere Tours and Pedro for your customized day trips.
Thank you Gay. We hope to see you back soon to discover with Premiere Tours other wonders of Portugal 🇵🇹 Jorge Bras
