Rui is a fantastic tour guide! Caring, knowledgeable, and well-rounded. I did two tours with him: a one-day surfing trip and Sintra-Cabo da Roca - Cascais. Both left me amazed!

Description
Prepare your intellectual spirit and adventurous soul. On this day trip from Lisbon, you will discover the magical and mystical Sintra. I will guide you through a carefully chosen selection of monuments and sites. The goal is to experience why Sintra has proved to be so captivating for lovers, royals and storytellers on the past centuries.
Upon arrival, we’ll marvel with the mix of architectural styles (Moorish, Manueline and Gothic) of Pena Palace exterior and talk about its references to the most important periods of Portuguese History. We'll also explore the Romantic Park that surrounds the Palace. It offers exotic plant species, and also the best views of Lisbon region. We don't visit the interior of Pena Palace.
After lunch, I'll invite you to taste the famous local pastry (Travesseiro). You can't skip it!
We'll then head into Quinta da Regaleira, a place full of symbols which refers to Hermeticism, Alchemy, Greek Mythology and more. We'll explore fountains, grottos, initiation well and the palace. The "cherry on top" of this day trip, is the visit to the westernmost point of Continental Europe, Cabo da Roca.
Private tours can be 100% customized.
