“This is honestly one of the best Sintra Tours from Lisbon I’ve ever taken! I live in Portugal and love travelling with my daughter, and I make it a point to visit Sintra at least once a year. There’s so much more to see and EAT, beyond Pena Palace and Travesseiros. This was by far our most favourite day ever!” Emily Silva - Nazare, Portugal.

Home to the Sintra Castle (Palacio National de Sintra), the Morrish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) and Quinta Regaleira (no translation, but trust me when I say it’s magical) - a visit to SIntra is truly a once in a lifetime experience for many first time visitor’s to Portugal. That is, when you go with the right tour guide, of course 😉

Our tour begins in Lisbon. From here, we literally drive-into the history and allure of the picturesque villages nestled in the Sintra Natural Park. After a captivating excursion through the charming streets, we’ll indulge in authentic Portuguese cuisine at a local restaurant (approx cost €20 p/p) - a true treat for your taste buds.

After lunch, your adventure continues as you explore an off-the-beaten-path beach, offering a serene water-splashing escape. The highlight of the tour is a visit to Cabo da Roca, where you'll witness the stunning beauty of Europe's westernmost point. As we stroll through the ancient Peninha woods, you'll feel a connection to Portugal's rich natural heritage. And our tour wouldn't be complete without treating you to the area's most delightful pastry.
