An Amazing Day Personalized Just For You!

This tour is for those who wish to experience Sintra to the fullest. Would you like to tour inside some monuments with an experienced guide? You got it! Do you want to explore unique places that tourists don't travel to because they are outside the mainstream guidebooks? You got it! Do you enjoy eating at non-touristy restaurants run by Portuguese families where you eat local food? You got it! This tour is meant to be totally customized for what you want to experience in Sintra. We can do a tour totally focused on the monuments of Sintra. Half focused on the monuments and half focused on the coastline of Sintra and Cascais. Or being more focused on the natural views and just seeing the monuments from outside. With this tour, you can end in Cascais so I can show you my hometown, and you can come back to Lisbon by train that runs along the coast. If this is something that you wish to experience on one of your days in Portugal, then just book the tour below. I will reach out to you to plan the tour with you.

Photos Included

Daniel worked for many years as a professional photographer. He knows how to take the most beautiful pictures of you and your group in the most picturesque places of the mountain with the palaces behind you. You're going to have stunning photos of the tour.

This is going to be one of the best moments of your life!

At least that’s what hundreds of people already said 😄

The electric tuk tuk will always be our vehicle.

We are going inside of some monuments of Sintra in a way that we skip lines and most of the crowds.

After that have an amazing ride by the coast with many wonderful views along the way.

Did I told about the amazing lunch in a family local restaurant with great local wine? 😉

Most of the times we end in Cascais so you can enjoy the rest of the day there.

Whenever you’re done with Cascais you can take a train that runs the coast to Lisbon or take an uber, your choice 😉 

 

  • Private transportation
  • WiFi if you’d like
  • Professional photography

What’s not included

  • Entry/admission to the Palaces
  • Lunch
  • Winetasting

There are enough things in Sintra and Cascais to do in 3 days. These are some of the places that we can visit on this tour:

  • All the 7 monuments of Sintra (Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, Seteais Palace, Chalet Biester, Monserrate Palace)
  • Azenhas do mar
  • Cabo da Roca
  • Colares Winery (Wine tasting)
  • Santuary of Peninha
  • Cascais
  • Boca do Inferno
  • Guincho Beach
  • Adraga Beach
  • Apple Beach
  • Eufemia Viewpoint

Sintra is always the starting point for our tours. Train or Uber/taxi are the most efficient ways to get to Sintra.

The train can be picked up at Rossio station, which is located in the center of Lisbon. Last stop is Sintra. I will be at the gates of Sintra station waiting for you. It takes 40 minutes and costs around 2.30€ per person.

If you are coming with an Uber, I will send you a destination so we can meet there. It takes 30 minutes and costs around 20-30€.

Oh yes! :) It’s going to be one of the high moments of the tour. The restaurant that I will take you will be always local and non-touristic so you can try a typical original delicious portuguese food.

The restaurant is owned by a family where the owner is the son, the mother is inside the kitchen cooking and the father is serving the tables. 

Expect food full of love ;)

Choosing to visit during the low season has its perks. We can bypass the majority of the crowds, giving us the freedom to select which monument we’d like to explore from the inside.

During high season, Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira (The well) are the most crowded monuments.

It’s possible to skip the lines to get into the terraces of Pena Palace. However, inside the palace, the story is different. It gets packed, and we need to follow the crowds from the beginning to the end, sometimes getting us stuck inside the Palace for 1 hour. In my opinion, it’s not worth it.

At Quinta da Regaleira, I have a special trick up my sleeve. I can show you how to bypass the lines and descend into the well, giving you a unique experience.

If you’re coming during the high season, don’t worry. There are other beautiful monuments that we can visit inside without the crowds.

Book the tour with me, and as an offer, you’ll have a planning call with me, during which we will define which monument we’ll visit inside.

Reviews

If you are looking for a fun way to tour Sintra or the surrounding areas - do not hesitate to book with Daniel Ponce! Our family of six adults spent 2.5 hours with him last week, touring Sintra - and it was one of the the highlights of our trip! Daniel is so friendly, and FUN and was so knowledgeable! We learned so much about the area during the tour, and he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, even bringing us treats from the area because the store that we would have stopped at was closed! My (adult) kids are still talking about it! Plus, Daniel went above and beyond helping me with train information, weather information and so much more. You won't be disappointed, Daniel is the real deal!

Brilliant tour with a brilliant guide. I highly recommend Daniel as your tour guide, he's as knowledgeable as he is passionate about this area. Friendly chap who made our visit to this special place even more special. During the tour several former guests he'd had earlier made a point of shouting hello and thanking him again for their tour, so I'm not alone in my view.
