Description of the Sintra and Cascais Tour

Looking for a relaxed, authentic way to explore Sintra and the Portuguese coast? This private full-day tour from Lisbon offers a unique blend of culture, nature, and local flavor, perfect for travelers who want more than just the usual sightseeing.

Your day starts with pick-up at your Lisbon hotel or apartment. From there, your local guide takes you straight to the lush, romantic hills of Sintra town. Your first destination: the mystical Quinta da Regaleira. With its underground tunnels, spiral wells, and leafy gardens, this palace is filled with symbolism and secrets your guide will help uncover.

After Regaleira, you’ll head to a traditional Portuguese restaurant tucked away in a quiet village near the town of Sintra. Think freshly grilled fish, tender meats, and plenty of local wine. This isn’t a touristy buffet, it’s the real deal. 

Once refueled, you’ll journey through the forested landscape toward the Peninha Sanctuary, perched 500 meters above sea level. The view here is a true hidden gem. On a clear day, you can see Lisbon, Sintra, and the sparkling Atlantic all at once.

From there, the tour winds down the coastline with a scenic ride through Cascais Portugal, a laid-back seaside town known for its beauty and charm. With great tunes playing and the sea by your side, it’s the perfect way to end the journey.

This private tour is designed for small groups, so it’s just you, your people, and a guide who knows all the local spots. It’s relaxed, intimate, and 100% Portuguese.
