Full description
A day amongst palaces, gardens and the Atlantic — with a car just for your group and a driver-guide who brings the stories of each place to life. Discover Sintra and Cascais with Lisbon Gems Tours on a private tour that combines heritage, scenery and an up-close experience of Portuguese culture. We’ll start by picking you up from your accommodation in Lisbon, Cascais or Sintra, so you can enjoy the day without worrying about driving or organising transport. In the Sintra mountains, explore the Pena Palace, with its vibrant colours and romantic architecture. Continue on to Quinta da Regaleira, where gardens, grottoes and paths steeped in symbolism invite you to explore. Throughout the visits, learn about the people and ideas that have made these places so unique. In Sintra’s historic centre, wander through the town’s streets and take the opportunity to explore the local shops or sample a ‘travesseiro’ or a ‘queijada’. The lunch break offers a chance to sample the region’s flavours, with suggestions tailored to your preferences. In the afternoon, the mountains give way to the ocean. At Cabo da Roca, take in the cliffs at the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Continue along the Guincho coast to Cascais, where the bay and the streets of the historic centre round off the itinerary before heading back. As this is a private tour, you’ll enjoy personalised attention, plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and time to enjoy the trip with those you’ve chosen to share it with. Within the tour’s timetable, we’ll do our best to tailor the pace to your group’s interests. Take home your photographs, stories and the feeling of having got to know a little more of Portugal.
