What you can expect

The romantic charm of Sintra and Cascais is on full display as you get to know these idyllic towns. Your guide shows you the lush forests, gardens, and grand palaces that combine with the coastal beauty of Cabo da Roca to form some of the most beautiful scenery in Portugal.

Once you meet your guide, a drive in a comfortable minivan takes you out from your hotel and into the fairytale landscape of the Sintra hills. Your first stop lets you step into the colourful Romanticist castle of Pena Palace, where you can admire the views over Lisbon from its balconies and explore the elegant halls of a fortress considered one of Europe's most beautiful.

Next, you head downhill to visit the postcard-worthy village of Sintra, known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture and delectable pastries. Browse for some charming souvenirs before you move on to Cabo da Roca, where you can admire the sea from the westernmost point on mainland Europe.

The last leg of your journey takes you along the coastal road to the mouth of the Tagus, with a stop at the village of Cascais along the way. Learn about the history of exiled kings and World War II espionage as you explore the peaceful fishing village, and then follow the magnificent Avenida Marginal for a look at the Estoril coast as you head back to Lisbon.

Our guide, Arianna was superb—passionate, pleasant and very knowledgeable . The company was initially late in confirming my hotel pickup but after several calls they confirmed about 12 hours to the trip. Arianna was prompt, came ready with an umbrella as it was a wet day. Three of us went on the trip— a couple from Canada and me. We rode in a car rather than a van or bus. This was really nice as it gave the feeling of a private tour. Arianna paid attention to details. Kudos!

Die Tour war ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir wurden direkt am Hotel abgeholt und fuhren mit einer kleinen Gruppe nach Sintra. Unser Guide führte uns durch den Garten zum Schloss und gab viele Informationen und Hintergründe. Schloss und Garten sind absolut sehenswert. In Sintra gab es eine Mittagspause mit einigen Tipps für Essen und Shopping. Unser Guide Nuno war super nett, hatte ein großes Wissen und sprach sehr gut verständliches Englisch. Wir hatten einen tollen Tag und waren sehr zufrieden.

Our guide Nuno shared his passion for history, Sintra, and his home Cascais. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful, very engaging, and not banal showing unbeaten paths. This tour allowed us to skip the Pena palace entrance line and Nuno showed us the beauty of the palace gardens. The hike through the gardens was in an incline but worth the effort as the lush garden and water sounds was a beautiful distraction. The van was clean. The drive was scenic. The guide was entertaining!

Our guide was charming and obviously loves Portugal. We felt like she showed us more than we expected of things that interested us. The gardens around Pena Palace are lovely. And the ocean views were dramatic.
