Highlights
- Park and National Palace of Pena - The Palacio Nacional da Pena stands as one of Portugal’s premier tourist destinations, showcasing the 19th-century Romanticism architectural style. The palace features a hedonistic blend of brightly colored terraces, ornate battlements, and mythological statues, all contrasting sharply with the lush green forests surrounding Pena.
- Cabo da Roca - Cabo da Roca is a cape marking the westernmost point of mainland Portugal, continental Europe, and the Eurasian landmass. Situated about 150 meters above sea level, it offers panoramic views of the Serra de Sintra and the coastline, making it a worthwhile visit.
Historical records show that a fort existed on Cabo da Roca in the 17th century, playing a crucial role in defending the entrance to Lisbon’s harbor and forming a coastal defense line, especially during the Peninsular Wars. Today, only remnants remain, along with a lighthouse that continues to serve as a vital navigation point.
Located within the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais, Cabo da Roca is a highlight on the coastal walking trails available here.
- Boca do Inferno - Boca do Inferno is a fascinating cliff formation near Cascais, dramatically named Hell’s Mouth. The relentless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean against the cliffs carved out a small cave, which eventually collapsed, forming a small bay and natural arch.
- Cascais - Cascais is a charming Portuguese fishing town and the most popular holiday destination along Lisbon’s coastline. Nestled on a stunning coastline, the town transforms into a bustling resort with a vibrant holiday atmosphere during the summer.

Perfect Day at Sintra & Cascais - Sintra and
We were a large family group ranging from ages 8 to 88. Our guides Andre and Ruben were PERFECT. They tailored their guiding to keep everyone entertained and laughing. On the road they played a mix of Portuguese music o of different eras. At the seaside town of Cascais we had free time to stroll the quaint streets, with some exploring the fort while others sat at a cafe to take in the view. Our lunch stop at a traditional village restaurant was a true gem, the best meal we had in Portugal!!
At the castle is where our guides truly shined. They pointed out small details we would never have noticed on our own, and gave us the perfect balance of historical information and time to explore on our own. We even overheard a couple saying they wish they had booked guides like ours!! Thank you Andre and Ruben for a perfect outing. 😍

Highly Recommend. Excellent value and beautiful memories made! - I booked this tour for my last day in Portugal and wow- what a beautiful way to spend my final hours!
Shortly after I booked a full day tour of Sintra, Cascais etc, I emailed the company with questions about where would be the closest pick up location. Giuliana responded quickly and was very helpful with confirming the closest pickup location as well as the easiest to get there by train ( she even including a pic of the metra lines with the relevant stops highlighted!).
I arrived at the location a little early and my guide (Ruben) arrived with a warm, friendly smile to pick me up. It appealed to me that the tour was a small group. We rode in a comfortable mini van and Ruben navigated those winding roads with ease and precision. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Pina Palace and the other places we stopped at . The views were breathtaking throughout the entire day.
We were fortunate in that we had a really great group of people. Everyone was happy and excited to experience the tour.
I loved everything about this tour from beginning to end. We got to spend time on our own walking through the downtown of sintra as well as the beach side town of Cascais where we stopped and had lunch. The entire day was about 8 hours and was excellent value.

Great Sintra trip with Gus - Gus really made this tour special. His English is perfect, and he really knows his stuff. We are a bunch of nerds and had many questions and he answered them all.

This is a great tour and worth every penny! - First, our tour guide Igor was AMAZING! He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and an asset to your company. SIntra was great to visit, and the Pena Palace was so beautiful to see. Ending in Cascais was a perfect way to end the day with a great lunch by the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great place to see with the right tour guide - I highly recommend seeing these beautiful places with an incredible experience. Make sure to find a company that chooses excellent safe drivers for small groups, people who can speak English well and and are good history teller. Our program was for 8 hours for the day, and our tour guide finished it within 7 hours. He explained the places to us may be 20 minutes of the total 7 hours. I had to find most of my information about the places on internet.
I highly recommend to use Viator.com for your trip. I got to see so much because of this company with so many great options plus 24 hours costumer service.
