Enjoy a half-day private hiking experience in the stunning Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, exploring two unique landscapes. The adventure begins with a 5 km hike around the Peninha Sanctuary area, offering breathtaking views, rich history, and a chance to learn about local traditions. A small snack break in the Peninha area provides the perfect moment to recharge. The second part of the hike covers 1.5 km through the scenic Cresmina Dunes, where the shifting sands and coastal scenery create a peaceful and unique atmosphere. A relaxing coffee break in the dunes completes the journey. Both hikes combine nature, culture, and stunning landscapes, making this a memorable outdoor experience in one of Portugal’s most beautiful protected areas.
Beautiful scenery in a picturesque area. Animals in their natural habitat and places to take really great photos. Tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area and of plant and wildlife. He made it fun and a great workout!
Great explanation of the places we were visiting and the history around it. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Was able to answer any question we had and give great recommendations.
A fantastic hike with a great guide! Saw lots of scenic areas and sites we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise!
Great hiking experience with a local guide. He was really knowledgeable having lived here almost all his life, and was able to take us to see various sights, explain the history, as well as go on less known trails we wouldn't have gone without a guide.
Such a great hike. Pedro is so knowledgeable about the area, I learned so much I wasn’t expecting. Had a great experience and would definitely book again. Thank you.
Beautiful day to hike in the Sintra Natural Park. Our guide Pedro was so informative not only about the forest and nature of the area but a lot of Portugal history overall. We learned so much about the importance of cork which we had been seeing everywhere. The views over Cascais and the ocean are breathtaking. Highly recommend!
Daniel showed us great spots and had loads of good information regarding the sites in Sintra. Really recomme d his tours.
Pedro pick us up at the Hotel in Cascais. Driving in the national Park and hike around 5 km. Then we got a small lunch. After that we watch the dune. Pedro was a really good guide.
Stefania is a nice and educated young lady. She will be of great advantage for everyone who wants to have a unforgettable experience there! She saves us a lot of time from wandering around. We recommend her strongly.
My wife and I vacationed in Cascais earlier this month. It was our first trip to Portugal, and we wanted to see more than the immediate area around our hotel. So we tried this tour of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, even though we are not regular hikers. We had the most wonderful time. Our guide, Pedro, could not have been more kind, informative or helpful. The area we visited was as beautiful as it was peaceful and interesting. We took a TON of pictures. We also peppered Pedro with questions on a myriad of topics and he was very gracious in responding to them all. On many tours, there is little flexibility. On this tour, it was all about what would be of most interest to us. Pedro also recognized our limits as hikers, and adjusted the tour to make sure we were comfortable at all times. We also enjoyed a nice snack overlooking some beautiful views of the coastline. And on the way back to our hotel, a side trip was provided to see some spots in Cascais that we would never have stumbled upon by ourselves. What a wonderful and light-hearted experience. I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough. We were so impressed with our experience, that the following day we took another Pipefly tour to Sintra. Ana Lucia is a terrific guide, who ensured that we had a most memorable day touring a castle of the Moors, the amazing Monserrate Palace, and the surrounding environs of Sintra. A full day tour that went by in a beautiful flash. Thank you so much, Ana Lucia!!
We can only recommend to sign up for this! It's a great way to see the somewhat hidden beauty of the area away from the obvious tourist attractions. Pedro is a very enthusiastic and knowledgable guide with lots of interesting stories and the natural park is just stunning. If you are into NATURE, you won't be disappointed! Pickup and drop off, logistics, all according to plan, nothing to complain about.
We met up with Ana Lucia by accident when we got off the train in Sintra. We did not have any plans when we arrived. Ana Lucia made us feel so comfortable that we decided to take her up on her offer to drive us around. She was very helpful and customized our day for what we were most interested in. Very flexible and accommodating to us. Went above and beyond for us. She was informative and educated us on what we were seeing and admitted when she didn’t know things and offered to look up the answers. The only suggestion I would give is to speak louder as the guest in the back of the van could not hear as well.
If you are Italian and want to discover the wonderful Sintra you can only rely on Stefania to do a tour! Sintra is very dislocated and has points of interest at great distances from each other. We only realized after we agreed to do it that actually the guided tour was the best choice. The value for money compared to other options, such as tourist buses and buses, is definitely affordable. A fantastic experience absolutely recommended!
Great day, fabulous driving beautiful good and competent... Comprehensive in all our questions....
Great tour in the Natural Park of Sintra - Cascais . Conducted by Stefania Italian girl , very nice and able to handle all phases of the day , a real pleasure to have spent a day with her. We advise everyone to ask about Stefania.
