Guided tour of the Pena Palace. Walk through the Palace's lush gardens. Enjoy the landscape from the highest point of Serra de Sinta and take photos.
Free time to discover Sintra, walk through the small streets of Sintra and discover the architecture and romantic corners that the village has to offer. Or simply sit on one of the terraces and enjoy lunch and taste one of the Portuguese wines. Don't forget to sweeten the experience with the typical "travesseiro de Sintra" pastry
Enjoy the magnificent view and take the best photos at the westernmost point of Continental Europe, Cabo da Roca. Located at latitude 38º 47´ North and longitude 9º 30´ West, Cabo da Roca is an important coordinate for those who sail along the coast, being the westernmost point of the continental European continent, a fact proven by the certificate that visitors take as remembrance. About 150 meters from the sea, here you can have a comprehensive view over the Serra de Sintra and the coast, which makes the visit worth it. Historical records point to the existence of a fort in Cabo da Roca in the 17th century. XVII which played an important role in guarding the entrance to Lisbon, forming a defensive line along the coast, especially during the Peninsular Wars. Currently there are only traces, apart from the lighthouse which continues to be an important point for navigation.
Stop to discover Cascais, a town located next to the sea and traditionally a fishing village, which underwent important development in the 19th century. XIV. But it was in the century. XIX, when sea bathing began to be popular, Cascais underwent a boost that transformed it into a summer resort for the aristocracy and the Portuguese royal family. Take the opportunity to take a stroll through the streets that have excellent quality shops or a few moments of rest on one of the many terraces that exist here. The beaches continue to be one of the biggest attractions, so if the weather permits, don't forget your bathing suit and go for a swim on one of Cascais' many beaches.
Not the weather that I expected. Missed the view of such a fabulous castle on the outside. Our guide Emerson was very knowledgeable,communicative and attentive. I will use the same company again Thank you
Our guide Bruno was very knowledgeable, professional and fun. Small group of 6. Comfortable van. Adjusted itinerary to accommodate busy attractions so we could see the palace when lineups were not too bad. Tour covers all the highlights and plenty free time for lunch and shopping. Good level of fitness required for walking hills, stairs and navigating some uneven terrain.
I am disappointed the tour guide didn’t show up and I left and didn’t get my refund for the trip . Unacceptable
We had such a wonderful experience with Sofia on our private tour! From beginning to end, she made the entire day feel easy, comfortable, and completely tailored to us. We started the morning with a guided visit through Pena Palace, where Sofia shared so much of the history and context behind what we were seeing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience much more meaningful than simply walking through the palace on our own. Afterward, she gave us plenty of time to explore the center of Sintra and enjoy lunch without ever making the day feel rushed. From there, she drove us to Cabo da Roca, which had some of the most incredible views of our entire trip, and then along the coast to Cascais. She gave us about an hour there to wander, shop, explore the town, and grab an ice cream before meeting back up with her. Throughout the entire drive, she continued sharing interesting history and information about the different areas we passed, which we really appreciated. Sofia was also incredibly friendly, punctual, and reliable. Her car was spotless and comfortable, she was always exactly where she said she would be for pickups, and anytime we needed her while exploring on our own, she was easily reachable by text. As two women traveling, we also felt completely safe and comfortable with her throughout the entire day, which meant a lot to us. What we loved most was having the flexibility and personal attention of a private tour while still getting the knowledge and insight of a great local guide. Sofia is just beginning her own tour business, but you would never know it from the experience. Everything was organized, professional, and seamless. We would absolutely recommend booking with her if you’re visiting the Lisbon/Sintra area. She gave us one of our favorite days of the trip!
Sofia was an absolutely wonderful driver and guide! She made our trip through Cascais, Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Pena Palace relaxed, fun and unforgettable. A fantastic guide with a great sense of humour. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us around Portugal. Highly recommended!
The owner Ricardo is unprofessional and TripAdvisor/Viator were ridiculous. I got food poisoning the night before the trip and sent a message through the app be to their WhatsApp contact that no one responded to. When I called Viator customer service they said I should have still shown up while I was sick and threw up during the car ride anyway so I could get an exemption.
Ricardo is a great guide with a lot of local knowledge. He reversed our itinerary when he saw how crowded the palace would be that morning and had local recommendations for each stop
We had a great time with Ricardo. He was awesome and knowledgeable. Also a safe driver!
Wonderful tour. We loved each of the stops and the tour guide, Isabelle, was so knowledgeable! We loved this tour!
Isabel, our guide, was exceptional in every aspect of the trip. Her kind, jovial, helpful, knowledgeable demeanor made our trip memorable. Every site we visited was amazing, she maximized every minute of the day. Very well planned and executed.
Ricardo is the man. Knowledgeable, funny, and ensures you make the most out of your day trip. Highly recommend
Excellent tour. Ricardo was a wonderful tour guide. He took great care of us and was very knowledgeable. Our schedule was relaxed enough that we had as much time as we needed at each location. Thanks Ricardo!
This was an amazing experience. Ricardo was our host and guide and he was beyond excellent! Having a small group of five was like having a private tour. Ricardo has a wealth of knowledge about Portugal and its diverse history. The van was very comfortable and a full day of touring seemed so relaxing. If you are coming to Lisbon then I would highly recommend Ricardo and his tour of Sintra.
Had a wonderful half day excursion to Cascais, Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Pena Palace. Can't say enough how knowledgeable and pleasant was Ricardo as a guide. Imersive experience walking around charming towns of Cascais and Sintra. Cabo da Roca, a great place to relax a bit and watch waves hit the stones. Pena Palace above Sintra was also amazing with lush greenery and eclectic architecture. Would recommend this experience to everyone. Also, be prepared for a little bit of walking, wasn't exhausting, we had enough time for our own pace to explore.
Good eay to some of the major highlights of Portugal. This route muvh better handled by a local versus trying to do yourself.Tour guide Issbel was fantastic, she knows the ropes, was very congenial, and a good driver.
It was a great way to see a couple small towns of Lisbon. Comfortable van that held 7 of us and the guide. Isabelle was our guide and she was very informative and pleasant. The first two stops we were on our own to look around with her guidance of what we might be interested in. Our last stop was the Pena Palace and she accompanied us into the palace and around which was very helpful! Make sure you wear comfortable “sneakers” and bring a light jacket (if not Summer). Much cooler at the Palace than we were expecting. I do think more time in Sintra would be a nice addition. However, I would still recommend this day trip to see more diverse side of Lisbon outside of downtown.
We had an amazing day with João. He took us all over and stopped at a wonderful place for an authentic Portuguese lunch! Highly recommend this trip!
Eddy was great in explaining the history and providing information
If I could give this less than one star. Our tour was cancelled the night before the tour. We were not texted or called to be informed. They sent us a cancellation in an email literally hours before the tour was to begin while we were asleep. Almost ruined a day of our vacation. We were able to scramble together another tour not with Viator that morning of the tour. I will never book with Viator again! Save yourself and book with someone else.
We had the best time with Isabelle! She was super knowledgeable and friendly. She made us feel welcome and we were able to completely explore when out of the car on our own so that it wasn't always a group adventure. She was able to take our picture throughout the time with her and she even was able to accommodate us by dropping us off by our hotel after! 10/10 recommend this for anyone wanting to see it all in a day!
Our tour guide, Ricardo was the best. He was so patient with us and really allowed us to explore the places. Unfortunately, the day we went, it was extremely rainy and windy. Make sure you pick a good weather day.
Ricardo was absolutely fantastic as noted in some of the coments already. Being our first trip to Portugal and Lisbon, this was an excellent day tour. He was very caring which made the day out very enjoyable...Sinthra Palace was stunning...and was the highlight of the day....overall great experience and well worth it.....thanks Ricardo....
I probably would not go in December again due to the weather. Overall we enjoyed this day trip with Ricardo to Sintra and Cascáis. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Lisbon and his country in general. He was a great guide to have! I wish we had more time in Sintra though because we only had time for lunch, didn’t get to explore the town. I’m obsessed with Pena Palace and would definitely go back!
Bruno was just awesome and such a joy all day. We learned so much history and more. We had quite the downpour and, we felt very safe with his driving. He was so considerate with us walking and not slipping or getting too wet as we are older. He showed us so much and, it was hard to say goodbye!
It was a great tour with - small group of 5. We had a great time at Cascais, Cape de Roca and Pena palace. Ricardo is a great guy. We really enjoyed the lunch at the restaurant he recommended in Sintra. The only hiccup was the meeting point. It was at the entrance of the Train station but all of us went across the street because there were many groups of tour people. So please text Ricardo before the tour to conform
Very good guide very knowledgeable very courteous. I highly enjoyed it. Also was nice to passengers.
Bruno was great. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Tour was at a good pace, with enough time to see everything.
It was an amazing experience, Beautiful views of the mountains and ocean at the Cabo da Roca. The palace is a spectacular! Our guide , bruno was fun, outgoing and very knowledgeable. He was generous with time in allowing us to explore the sites at our leisure. He was fabulous. A must tour!
Ricardo is a fantastic tour guide. Great personality, knowledgeable, and very helpful. One of the best small group tours I have ever been on. Definitely would recommend if you want to get out of the hustle and bustle of Lisbon and see some different natural and historic beauty.
Henrique was the best tour guys ever! I cannot express how professional, polite, respectful, and knowledgeable he was. Deeply cared about our group and made us feel like family! This is the second time I do this tour and when I do it a third time I want it to be with him. Thank you Henrique!
Well organized would highly recommend this to anybody everybody should have this experience and try doing this because the detail and histories unbelievable
This experience was amazing. It was the perfect mix of structured touring and free time to explore. Ricardo was THE BEST, fun, friendly and knowledgeable. His grasp of Portuguese history was impressive and due to this we were mesmerized by the history lesson during the Pena Palace Tour. We had free time in Cascais as well as Sintra and Cabo Da Roca.
Enjoyed this tour very much. The scenery at Cabo da Roca is breathtaking and beautiful. Stops at each location is adequate. I appreciated the walk through Cascais….lovely community. I appreciated the shopping time and good restaurants in Sintra. The walk up to Pena Palace was taxing but was worth it.
A full day of Portuguese history. Daniel who is the owner operator gave us a detailed and thorough explanation of Portugal’s history to include the last monarchy, regional beaches, Lisbon history and much more. We stopped at a family owned restaurant where everything was handmade and the owner was a certified sommelier. There is too much to name, you just have to do it yourself to get the same rich experience that our family had. Highly, highly recommend this tour.
Ricardo was very professional, our trip was very relaxing and safe. We had enough free time to enjoy Sintra and the Peña Palace guided tour was worth the day trip. Highly recommended!
We had a very full day filled with fun, laughter and a little bit of learning. Isabel is a wonderful guide.
Bruno was an informative and very entertaining tour guide. Despite the unfortunate weather, he provided an excellent tour of Peña Palace. He also provided an excellent tour of Sintra, including a fabulous recommendation for a café. He chose a wonderful restaurant for lunch en route to Cabo de Roca & provided great information about the area. We really enjoyed the tour.
We visited in july 2023. The guide was super nice and friendly, it was really comfortable and a memorable trip in general. Worth it totally.
Wonderful tour outside of Lisbon! Ricardo gave us the perfect amount of information without overloading us with details. He also provided door-to-door service which was greatly appreciated!
Amazing, Ricardo was a great tour guide. Very helpful and very, very knowledgeable. Great history lesson and fun
This was a great tour! We considered just taking the train from Lisbon and doing Sintra and the palace on our own - I’m so glad we decided not to take that option. Instead we had a comfortable van take us directly to the palace (otherwise you have to take a separate bus after the train) and our driver walked us through the palace and told us all about it. He also made recommendations on where to eat and shop in town. We also loved Cascais and Cabo de Roca which we would have missed on our own. The driver was very friendly and informative, answering all our questions. We had just the right amount of free time in each place. I highly recommend this tour!
Worthwhile tour. Fascinating history. Lots of climbing; great exercise. Not advisable for those with heart, mobility issues. Ricardo was top notch. Long day but worth it. Nice stop at the coffee shop in the way. . City centre had lots of good places to eat and quaint stores.
Did this tour solo and I’m so happy I did. It was lovely to spend a day out of Lisbon while learning the history. Ricardo is a fantastic guide!
I went on a tour with Ricardo in June 2024. There were three of us on the tour: two other tourists and I. Ricardo organized an amazing tour: we saw and learned a lot. After the tour, I had to go to the hospital due to an unexpected necessity occurred for me. Ricardo drove me there, though he wasn't obliged to do that since the tour was already over. Moreover, Ricardo was ready to come and visit the hospital with me to help me there as I don't speak Portuguese. It's incredible. Ricardo is not only an excellent guide, but also a very kind and helpful person.
Was comfortable, guide was very informative , full of stories, funny, enjoyed thoroughly, some beautiful places we saw..
Great tour. Very organized. Tour guides Ivan and Ruth were excellent. Ivan really knew his history. Had plenty of time to explore. They took care of everything. Highly recommend.
Mark, was excellent, very approachable. Very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The trip was great because of Mark.
Having booked I Tour You day tour to Sintra, Cabo de Roca and Cascais months ago, arrived in Lisbon and advised tour had been cancelled by company with 24 hours before departure.
My husband and I did this tour a few days ago. We both enjoyed it tremendously. Our guide, Ricardo, was fantastic. He was both personable and knowledgable, and we enjoyed spending the day with him. (He also stopped at convenient spots on the steep walk up to the castle, so we could catch our breath, with interesting stories about the history of the castle and surrounding areas, which was appreciated.). The additional stops to other cities were fun, as well. I would highly recommend this tour!!
Our tour to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais was in fact entirely as advertised and expected! Ricardo as our guide did really great, as he was always friendly, well-spirited, and open to questions and conversation. He accompanied our visit to the palace in full, making lots of interesting and remarkable observations, thus rendering it much more fruitful and pleasant than we could ever have done if by ourselves only! At no time there was any rush on us, even with some time allowed for us to explore a little on our own, and also to have lunch. Time and money well spent!
