The marvelous Pena Palace was built on one of the highest points of Sintra Mountain, offering stunning views. It represents the greatest example of 19th-century Romanticism in Portugal, with different influences from the Manueline and Moorish styles. You may wander through its lush gardens, which have more than five hundred tree species from all over the world. The famous composer Richard Strauss named this magnificent palace the "Castle of the Holy Grail."
Wander the cobbled lanes of Sintra's heart, where history is etched into the very stones and local pastries add sweetness to your exploration.
After crossing Sintra Mountain, you will reach the most western point of Continental Europe, the imposing Roca Cape, which is 140m above the ocean level and was immortalized by the illustrious Portuguese poet Luís de Camões: “where the land ends and the ocean begins.”
Guincho Beach is one of the greatest beaches in Cascais and one of the most beautiful. It's well known for its wild dunes and untamed sea. How about a superb lunch with sea flavor and a stunning ocean view?
Cascais was the summer residence of the Portuguese royalty and aristocracy in the 19th century and the place of exile of the European monarchy during the Second World War. This fishing village became a cosmopolitan seaside resort, considered the Portuguese Riviera, with sumptuous mansions.
Estoril has long welcomed international visitors, and during World War II, it acquired a glamorous reputation when Portugal's neutrality and mild weather attracted the rich and famous, German and English spies, and European royals and aristocrats. The town is still a fashionable cosmopolitan destination with Europe's largest casino.

Tiago was a wonderful guide and such a wealth of knowledge. And Blue Diamond itself was great to work with, helping us understand how best to maximize our time to see all the area has to offer. I’ll be booking with them again when I return to Portugal.
We had such an incredible experience with Tiago during our time in Portugal! From the moment he picked us up, he was incredibly kind, professional, punctual, and welcoming. He made getting around so easy and stress-free, which made such a difference during our trip. What really stood out to us was how much Tiago went above and beyond. He gave us amazing recommendations for places to visit, restaurants to try, and things to see, and he was always happy to drive us wherever we wanted to go. Because of his recommendations and his willingness to take us around, we discovered some of our absolute favorite places in Portugal that we may never have found on our own! He was so knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a wonderful experience. He made us feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire trip, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better driver. We would HIGHLY recommend Tiago to anyone visiting Portugal. He was a huge part of what made our trip so memorable, and we would absolutely request him again the next time we’re in Portugal. Thank you, Tiago, for helping make our trip so special! 🤍
We had a fantastic day trip to Sintra. Our driver was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing great historical insights throughout the journey. The car was comfortable, spotless, and always on time. One of the biggest advantages of this service was the convenience. We were able to stop at all the key sights and be picked up exactly where we needed, without having to worry about parking, traffic, or directions. This made the day completely stress-free and allowed us to focus on enjoying Sintra. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable, efficient, and informative way to explore the area.
Wonderful day spent with Reuben! Reuben was great, explaining and giving us a detailed overview and history of the places we visited with him. He is polite, attentif and very gracious! I recommend him to everyone who visits Lisbon!
Amazing company and amazing service, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience even though we booked last minute. Ruben our guide was knowledgeable and courteous and we had an excellent time. Definitely will use this company again
Our guide, Ishmael, was great. Ask for him. This is a great tour. Many people say Pena Castle is “touristy” and crowded - but if you are a tourist and have never been there it is very much going too. The coast and Cascais, are beautiful. We had an awesome time with a professional, friendly, knowledgeable guide. If you are not sure, I highly recommend. Also recommend you confirm your pick- up time if you did not book directly through Blue Diamond.
We had a wonderful day with Ruben who was an excellent guide and driver with a wealth of knowledge about cultural traditions and history. He also gave us many recommendations for other trips and restaurants within Portugal as well as taking us to a great fish place for lunch. We would highly recommend this day tour.
Excellent driver/guide.Ishmael. Very knowledgeable and helpful First class. We saw everything we wanted to and he tailored the trip to our needs Excellent
It was an excellent tour!!! The views were beautiful !!! Our driver Edgar gave us an outstanding service!!!! Very polite and gave always his best !! We were extremely satisfied with his service!!!
We had a fantastic day with Edgar, our driver, who showed us the sights and sounds of Sintra, the Peña Palace and the beautiful coast of Portugal between Sintra & Lisbon. He is an excellent driver who always showed a high level of care and patience while we were on the tour. His English is excellent, and he had a very good knowledge of the various sights and history of Sintra and Lisbon. His recommendation for lunch was outstanding. He secured us a fantastic table, right by the window, with sweeping views of the coast back towards Cabo da Roca, the most western point of Europe. The food was a treat with my wife enjoying Veal with mushrooms while I tucked into fresh sole, cooked in butter. Delicious. I can highly recommend this tour and Edgar, our driver.
Reuben our driver was fantastic. His English is superb and his love of Portugal makes the day very enjoyable. He knows all the special places to visit and dine. The Pillow cake that he recommended was DELICIOUS. What a great day
Ismael was our driver and we couldn’t have anyone better. He offered us an excellent service and a brilliant guiding. When we come back to Portugal we will definetely work together again!
Edgar was fantastic. Knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent driver and knowledgeable and able discuss history and current culture/events.
What an amazing 2 days we spent with Rubin …so professional but yet fun. He was very knowledgeable of the city and towns. We couldn’t have had a better driver….
Sintra and Cascais were both great. Pedro was a safe driver and very knowledgeable. He communicated well before our departure and was punctual.
This tour had it all! Sintra is magical and our driver made every moment there shine. The visit to the Pena Palace was great. The stop at the Roca Cape was awesome, with stunning views that I will never forget. Cascais’ charm was the cherry on top of a perfect day. The tour was utterly enjoyable. For an amazing discovery of the region, look no further.
Our experience from the very beginning to the end was incredible. Ricardo picked us up at our hotel in Lisbon in a beautiful Mercedes and immediately began to educate us on the day ahead and LisbonPortugal in general. We enjoyed speaking with him the entire day and he had so much information to share about everything we saw. It was one of the best ways to spend a day. We not only learned all about Sintra, and the coastal cities on our tour, but found a new friend and when (not if!) we come back we will definitely be looking for him again to make our next trip wonderful again. Thank you, Ricardo for sharing your knowledge, kindness and friendship with us!
Our full-day tour to Sintra, Roca Cape, Cascais, and Estoril was also amazing. The service was again exceptional, with our driver Carlos providing not just information, but stories that brought the history of each site to life. The greatness of Sintra, the beauty of Cabo Da Roca, the coastal charm of Cascais and Estoril were all the more enjoyable thanks to the seamless and thoughtful service. We had such a wonderful lunch with delicious seafood and stunning views in Guincho. Thank you for another unforgettable day!
Our day trip to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, and Estoril was an absolute dream. The service provided by the tour company Blue Diamond was exceptional from start to finish. Our driver was a treasure trove of information, weaving tales of history that made each destination more enchanting than the last. The Pena Palace is stunning! The Mercedes vehicle in which we traveled was super comfortable and luxurious, ensuring a smooth and stylish journey. Whether we were exploring the mystical palaces of Sintra, standing at the westernmost point of continental Europe at Cabo da Roca, or basking in the glamour of Cascais and Estoril, we were spoiled by our driver. This tour is a must for anyone who values comfort and service as much as they do sightseeing. A truly first-class experience!
A non hassle stress free experience like I’d never had. Brilliant driver who was knowledgeable, professional, attentive and insightful. The all experience was just spot on perfect
It was a day rich in multiple discoveries. A beautiful walk between sea and nature and monuments. We greatly appreciated the professionalism of our guide, Carlos, his knowledge and kindness.
Fantastic Service. Quality and warmth. Hand in hand with the exceptional Juan Carlos we enjoyed a beautiful day discovering the outskirts of Lisbon. Professionalism and human quality 10/10.
Wonderful day ! Our guide Carlos is passionate, he gave us a lot of information while giving us moments alone
We did a 2-day private tour, it was extraordinary! Our guide Mr. Carlos Azevedo had undeniable knowledge, was very courteous, all his instructions were assertive, he made all the difference in our trip, we came back wanting to know more and of course with him as our GUIDE! I thank Blue Diamond for the excellent service
