★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $114

Spend about eight hours exploring Queluz Palace, Sintra, the Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais with a private driver. Jose Ribeiro is a standout guide to request, and the flexible format lets you adjust the day around crowds, opening hours, and your interests.

“What a let down. I booked this experience a few months in advance and was really looking forward to the day spent with my mother. Although our tour guide was nice and accommodating it was a national holiday and the wineries were closed and we didn't get to see several things on this tour. If I would have been informed of this I would have changed my dates or not booked at all. However the tour operator never informed us of this. We were told by our guide. We did not get to see Sintra, a UNESCO world heritage site, Castelo dos Mouros, or Park and National Palace of Pena.…”

Travel from Lisbon in a van for up to eight people with an English- or Spanish-speaking driver. Visit Queluz and Pena Palace, enjoy free time in Sintra and Cascais, and see Cabo da Roca, Guincho Beach, and Boca do Inferno. Palace tickets and lunch cost extra.

“We enjoyed the trip and the sights. We were picked up from our apartment which was great. Ricardo had contacted up the day before the trip to see whether we wanted to visit Pena Palace or Quinta do Regaleira. After back and forth with Ricardo we chose Quinta and were not disappointed it is beautiful. Earlier communications would have been better. We enjoyed the Queluz, CasCais and Cabo de Roca. While the roads are narrow and it takes time to travel relatively short distances the scenery and houses along the way make the trip pass quickly. Our driver was very good and friendly.”
