This was a full day road trip with a pick-up and drop-off at my apartment in Lisbon. I visited the majestic Pena Palace and Cabo da Roca, as well as the downtown areas of Sintra and Cascais, and I tried some amazing food at Casa Piriquita, Toca Do Julio, and Santini. My local tour guide, Miguel, was very hospitable and patient. He provided VIP service and was able to tailor the itinerary to meet my interests. We also had some great conversations in the car along the way. Obrigado, Miguel!

Perfect day outside of Lisbon
Miguel provided a relaxing way for us to tour Sintra & Cascais. Picked us up at our HolidayLettings rental on time. Also took us to western-most point of continental Europe, amazing waves off the Atlantic. Perfect lunch stop next to Farmer's Market in Cascais, where we enjoyed lobster & rice (huge pot for 2, in broth.) Great driver, very friendly & knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him. Very reasonable prices.
The highlight of our trip to Lisbon
If you are heading to Lisbon, do not miss Sintra. with a private tour with Miguel! He picked us up at our hotel promptly, drove us to Sintra. On Sintra, he took us to all the best spots. It was great to have the knowledge of a local person who speaks English as well as any American. We haven't stopped talking about our wonderful day!
