About
For everyone that wants to break free from overpriced and underwhelming shore excursions, this trip is designed for those coming to Lisbon via cruise ship with limited time and an unlimited imagination. Let our Lisbon locals take you on an adventure that will make your shipmates red with envy. Starting with a daring pick up at the port of Lisbon - you will be whisked away to beautiful Sintra, beach town Cascais, Estoril coast and finish off with an urban adventure traversing the hills of Lisbon. In Sintra we don't just drop you off inside of one palace, we'll make sure you see most of them and have time to do the shopping ( if you want ) in the small shops in the old village. We will give you an overview of the best experiences of this world heritage site so you don't miss anything worth to be seen. Along the way we will keep your blood sugar up with some of the region's best pastries. A combination of our two most popular trips: the "X-Day Trip" and "King of the Hills" this trip will leave your head full of memories and conquest.
The Lisbon shore excursion is completely flexible and can be adapted to the time available. We pick you up in the port of Lisbon and drop you off before your scheduled departure. Please confirm us the arrival hour of your ship.
Important
We'll pick you up at the port. In Lisbon there are 3 different docking sites for cruise ships, so PLEASE write in the booking form your ship's docking times and (if possible) the name of the dock, so that our driver knows where to meet you. Thank you and we'll be there ;-)
