Overview

Sintra and Cabo da Roca or Cascais, why renting a car to go around lost, when you have a local guide driving you on the coast line to the best gems, meeting the real portuguese people!

(The half-day day tour, you take 1 hour to go and 1 to comeback to Lisbon, you have 2/3 hours to manage and spend where you want, Cascais or Sintra) - you can also add time later !

This tour is 100% PRIVATE & customizable at your taste, so you are the boss. Take a rest and see the best ! We know the ways to skip the lines for you to enjoy the best out of your time! We have modern vans reserved just for you, your friends and family. 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)

A lot of the places 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, of course you go in a tourist, and leave 100% local.
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!
