What To Expect

1. Park and National Palace of Pena I have crafted this tour to ensure you experience the very best that Sintra has to offer within a timeframe of 3 to 5 hours. I've come up with 3 main aspects that capture the essence of Sintra: Monuments, Mountain and Coast. Our tour is a carefully crafted exploration that showcases the rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes of this remarkable place. Throughout our journey, we'll make stops that allow you to appreciate Sintra's treasures fully untill we get to the top where we can see the view of the Pena Palace, one of the most wellknown One of the most well-known attractions in Sintra and perhaps in Portugal. Visiting inside is optional. The visit does not include the guide on the inside of the monument. Tickets are NOT included! There are 2 different tickets available: 1. Ticket for the Park 2. Ticket for the Park + Palace. We usually advise for the ticket of the Park, which avoids queues and also allows to visit the outside area of the Palace. 1 hour 30 minutes

2. Famous for the health giving quality of its waters, the first references to the Fonte da Sabuga date back to medieval times. Here we will stop to have a sip of the "miraculous" water and hear some stories about Portugal.

3. Sintra National Palace Standing in the historical heart of Sintra, this is the best-preserved medieval royal residence in Portugal, with its early construction dating back to the medieval ages. We will stop at a viewpoint where you'll be able to see the Palace.

4. Castelo dos Mouros Built by the Moors in the 8th and 9th centuries, it was an important strategic point during the Reconquista, and was taken by Christian forces after the fall of Lisbon in 1147. Considered to the the "crown" of Sintra. We will stop at certain viewpoints where you'll be able to see the Castle.

5. The Chalet Biester was built in the central and northern European architectural style, which was very much in vogue in late 19th century Portugal, as the anachronic paradigm of a summer residence, in Sintra. It is an eclectic project. Its designers took full advantage not only of its architecture and interior decoration which oscillate between belated romanticism and art-nouveau but also its surrounding landscape, as it is located in a garden and leafy botanical park designed by the famous landscape gardener Nogré. We will stop at a viewpoint where you'll be able to see the Bieter Chalet.

6. Sintra boasts one of its most renowned and iconic attractions, a must-see not only in the town but also in all of Portugal. Perched atop the Sintra Hills, this place holds a special spot in Portugal's royal history, symbolizing the zenith of monarchy in the country. Nestled within an expansive 85-hectare (210-acre) natural park, this magnificent and lush palace has been recognized and celebrated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. We will stop at a viewpoint where you'll be able to see the Pena Palace. Going inside the park or palace is optional. The visit does not include the guide inside the palace. The guide will take you to the entrance and wait for you while you visit the Palace.

7. Sintra Mountains Once we've immersed ourselves in the rich history and awe-inspiring monuments, it's time to venture further into the embrace of the mountain. Prepare to be captivated by its unparalleled beauty as we traverse its entire range, punctuated by a few carefully chosen stops to relish the panoramic vistas. 1 hour 30 minutes

8. While touring the mountain range, we will make a quick stop to marvel at a view over the bay of Cascais and the atlantic ocean with marvelous beaches at a distance.

9. Cabo da Roca Continuing our journey westward across the mountain range, we arrive at Cabo da Roca, that was once called "the end of the world" is the westernmost point of continental Europe. Prepare to be awestruck by the dramatic cliffs that tower over the untamed Atlantic Ocean. This remarkable location will beckon us to pause and take some time to soak in the breathtaking views that stretch as far as the eye can see. 45 minutes

10. Azenhas do Mar After we will visit my favorite local beach in Sintra. Here, you'll be greeted by a pristine stretch of nature and the untamed Atlantic Ocean in all its rugged beauty. But our adventure doesn't end there. We have one final surprise in store—a visit to the picturesque village of Azenhas do Mar. Perched on a cliff, this typical Portuguese village gives us "vibes" of Santorini in Greece. As we make our way back to Sintra, we'll take a different route, granting us a sweeping panorama of the entire Sintra Mountain range that we've just traversed. When it's time to bid farewell, you have the option to be dropped off either in the historic center of Sintra or at the train station. 45 minutes

So good. Diogo was great and showed us spots we would never have found. Had an extensive knowledge of where, when how, etc.

The experience was great. It was interesting to listen and an amazing opportunity to see the prettiest places. A fun way to get to know the city of Sintra. Thank you!

Diogo the best travelling companion one could wish for

Published on Jun, 2024

It was a very positive experience. Diogo turned out to be an excellent travelling companion, very nice and very knowledgeable. He enriched our visit with beauty. His training as an archaeologist certainly contributed positively. We are Italian and with Diogo it was fun to talk in English but also in Portuguese/Italian given the affinity that Latin languages have. Good job Diogo. Have a good summer

Fun, knowledgeable tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Beautiful tour of the Sintra Region. Got picked up from our hotel in Lisbon and then taken to the Classic Car, which yes was a tight squeeze for two over 6ft but the charm of it was well worth it. Manuel was full of knowledge and side talk (banter) he took us to many stop along the way to see breathtaking views and scenery. Would very much recommend anyone wanting to see the area go with these guys!

Meandering the region in the open air with a great guide

Published on Jun, 2024

Manuel was a wonderful guide - knowledgable and friendly. The tour was not to the castles as such but around the area and through the forests. It was really enjoyable and recommended
