Sintra and Cascais Private Sightseeing Tour
Overview
Embark in a private sightseeing tour of historic Sintra and its stunning surroundings. Stop to see important sites along the way and enjoy exploring places not included on typical tourist routes.
You’ll have plenty of time on this full-day trip to take in all the spots of historic importance and admire views of the area’s natural splendour.
You will visit two lesser-known monuments of Sintra:
The National Queluz Palace, or the Natural Monserrate Palace.
Two of the lesser-known and "forgotten" palaces of Sintra, away from the overcrowded Pena Palace.
