Top 3 Highlights

Pena Palace

The UNESCO-listed Pena Palace, a 19th-century Romantic palace, is a wonder to discover and one you will not soon forget. Perched atop the mountain, this spot offers stunning panoramic views that stretch all the way to the Ocean, making it one of the best places to capture breathtaking photos.

As you stroll through the beautiful and exotic landscape, your guide will share historical and architectural details on the region, while allowing you the freedom to explore the monuments on your own.

Quinta da Regaleira

The stunning Quinta da Regaleira, another UNESCO-listed site, has anciently carved buildings, incredible gardens and a gothic breeze that will enchant anyone who dares to enter. Rich in history, you will learn all about the caves, secret wells and art that originated from the Masonry, the Templars and the Rose Cross.

We'll take a stroll through the historical center of Sintra. This is a good time to rest, lunch, and try out some traditional regional pastries.

Cabo da Roca

Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Continental Europe, is another beautiful spot to take some pictures and feel the ocean breeze.

We'll also show you the place where many Portuguese Royal Families used to vacation. We would not consider this trip a success if you didn’t experience the coastal splendor of Cascais.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

"Susana was amazing! It was my son (18) and myself and my 79 year old mother. She made sure that my mother was able to do everything. She even had a step stool for her to get in and out of the car. She let us go at our own pace. She exceeded our expectations! It was a 20 out of 10!!! I recommend for anyone!"

"Diogo was our tour guide from Lisbon to Sintra. I went with two other girl friends and we had a private tour. We were able to skip the lines so did not have any long waits. Diogo was the best tour guide I have ever had. He started our day by a quick stop to get some Portuguese pastries which was an unexpected treat. His knowledge of the history and his organization of the tour to make sure we were able to experience and enjoy the gardens and the palaces was incredible. This tour was the highlight of my trip to Portugal and I absolutely loved Portugal. I would definitely recommend Diogo as a tour guide to anyone having the privilege to travel to Portugal."

“We had a fantastic 3-day private tour with Alberto, who took us through Lisbon, to Sintra, Cascais, Evora, Nazare, Obidos, Porto, and a few additional stops. He also included some surprises along the way. He was very knowledgeable and paced the days perfectly. We also had a great experience working with Joana for scheduling our tours. Thank you Alberto and Joana!”

“Ricardo Domingues was a fantastic tour guide. Not only was he very personable and very funny, but he also was super knowledgeable about the castles at Sintra. He was incredible in his ability to link the most minor detail about something on display to how people lived back then and how life could have been. He was spectacular in his "wow" moments, making my family and I's jaws drop almost every five minutes. I could say no bad thing. He was incredible.”
