Overview

Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais, why renting a car to go around lost, when you have a local guide driving AND guiding you through the beautiful palaces and castles of Sintra, by the coast line to the best gems of Cascais

This tour is 100% PRIVATE & customizable at your taste, so you are the boss. Take a rest and see the best ! We have modern vans reserved just for you and your group!

From the pick-up time to the stop-points, you decide where to go and what to skip, managing the time as you wish (unlike the group tours)

We know the ways to skip some of the lines for you to enjoy the best out of your time!

We will be able to see and touch dinosaur footprints with more than 70 million years.

A lot of the places we are going, are UNESCO protected places, for being patrimonium of the world.

From the monuments, to forest, to beach, to the local restaurants full of the best typical food, of course you go in a tourist, and leave 100% local.
What are you waiting for? Let's go!

Park and National Palace of Pena

If you wish to stop at Pena Palace, you can decide if and how long you want to stay at the stunning gardens of the almost 200 acres of lush exotic gardens and rivers with species from all over the world or also see the palace. If you wish to pass by the fairy-tail palace from the XIX century, designed to be the lush summer home of the portuguese royalty, we facilitate access to the tickets to the inside and outside of the palace! With stunning views over the valley of Sintra-Cascais, you can see all the way until the coast-line (where we'll go next, after the Masonic Well at Regaleira!) At the palace you also have a nice caffe where you can have a bite!

Quinta da Regaleira

Having priority at the ticket office, we skip the line directly to the gardens of Regaleira, exotic like the Pena gardens, but with hand-made caves and tinny castles all over the place. Just near the waterfalls we have the Free-Masonic Initiation Well from the XIX century, open to the public at day time. In here you will go down the 9 levels of Dante's Inferno, to find the Templar Cross with the 4 elements (wind, earth, fire, water) After the first stage, the participants would have to "wonder through the bottom of hell" until they get to "the light at the end of the tunnel" where they will find the exit and reborn again. Outside and inside you can see many symbols of the free-masonry / templar order, among them many pentagrams said to represent the face of Baphomet
