Additional Information

Your visit may feel incomplete without experiencing Sintra and Cascais, two must-see locations merely thirty minutes away from Lisbon. The coast holds numerous surprises – embark on a journey to unveil them on the scenic coastal route from Estoril bay to Cascais. Your visual senses will delight in the opulence of elegant hotels, the Casino and Renaissance-era fortresses. Explore Cascais, a humble fishing village that transformed into an enclave for the aristocracy and artists. We then set towards the untamed coastlines and precipitous cliffs, reaching the westernmost extremity of Europe, Cabo da Roca. The vista here marvelously mixes the sea with the mountains – through which we traverse to encounter the historically significant centre of Sintra, a part of Unesco’s Cultural Heritage. Its distinctiveness stems from the harmonious interplay of manmade structures with the natural topography. Our stops incorporate Quinta da Regaleira, the unconventional Pena Palace, and the majestic Mozarabic National Palace carrying a history of a millennium. Regional cuisine awaits sampling at “Refúgio da Roca”.

Fantastic day to Cascais/Sintra with Nuno from Mon Ami! - The day started with Nuno from Mon Ami Tours meeting us in our hotel lobby and walking us to his van. He gave us a brief rundown of the day’s planned destinations and activities and away we went! My wife and I immediately could tell he was going to be a pleasant host and guide as he made us feel comfortable during the ride down to Cascais. After driving around Cascais, we stopped in town and were able to walk around. Then on to Cabo Roca, where Nuno gave us plenty of time to take in this scenic site. From there we went on to Sintra for lunch at a locals’ restaurant that was quite impressive for its Portuguese food and reasonable prices. The tour continued at Pena Palace where we took in the site while Nuno showed his knowledge by sharing some great notes. Never did we feel rushed or “herded” by Nuno while we were touring. We finalized our day in the center of SIntra and then back to Lisbon. We have to say that Nuno really catered the tour to the pace and locations we wanted. Our goal was to have a more laid-back, “behind the scenes” tour and he delivered! All I can say is that we have already referred him back to our friends in Miami and are looking to touring with him again. We only have positive things to say about him, his professionalism and the way Mon Ami ran the tour. Kudos to you Nuno, for a job well done! We are truly grateful to have been able to spend time with you today.

Best tour ever! Wanna have something special? Book it - We made our Tour with Nouno(hope I write it correctly) and had a really amazing day. We where really worried if it would work with a 3 year old, but the entire day, from amazing beaches, great explanations to everything in and around Lisbon, the most western point in Europe, Cascais, Sintra and Pena. Pls book this tour, cause you never get that on get your guide. He tells you about really nice restraunts for a break, ways to go down at Pena Palace and is simply the most competent and nicest guide we have ever had.

Great day trip to Sintra with Nuno - We had a day trip today with Nuno to Cascais, Cabo di Roca and Sintra. It was an amazing day!!!! It was well organized, interesting, lovely and fun. Nuno had a vast knowledge about Portugal and he shared with us all stories. We also had a free time to spend the little towns by ourselves. We had a great time and we highly recommend ✨

Great tours with an excellent guide - The four of us enjoyed a full day tour of Lisbon and also a full day tour of Cascais and Sintra in a very comfortable van with our knowledgable and pleasant guide, Nuno. Nuno was a joy to travel with, he seemed to know hundreds of people and shared many of their stories, knew the best places for lunch and was a great story teller. He is also a fan of Portuguese Fado music and with a little prompting sang along in a good voice with some of the top Fado singers he had recorded and also translated the lyrics for us. We all would highly recommend this company and Nuno for an informative and enjoyable tour.

A Superb Tour - Our tour guide Jose Dyson was a gem. Full of life and knowledge he showed us all of the important sights of Sintra and Cascais, and a few key areas of Lisbon. In addition, he found a wonderful and scenic restaurant for lunch situated right on the Atlantic Ocean. Jose also carefully guided us through the famous Pena Palace in Sintra, moving us smoothly through the masses of tourists. We highly recommend Mon Ami for this trip and especially the dynamic tour guide Jose.

Very good experience :) - The trip was amazing! We visited Sintra National Palace, Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Capo da Roca and Cascais Village all in one day! We really enjoyed that our guide Jose Dyson was explaining everything to us with details and we learnt so many historical stuff both for the palaces but also for Portugal in general! :)

Wonderful full day in Sintra and the coast - Our exceptional guide, Jos Dyson, dealt with a very rainy trip to Sintra and Cascais with creativity and good humor. After a prompt pick up at our Lisbon hotel we discussed challenges for viewing the Sintra sites and options to meet our goals within the limitations of wind, fog, and at times a driving rain. While my hope was to tour the Peña Palace, that was simply not possible. Instead Jos provided an informative and well paced tour of the National Palace, which we had all to ourselves. We learned so much about Portuguese history and culture through the examples of architecture, furnishings and art work. Ultimately the yellow weather warning was moving toward red and Jos provided photo stops and lots of information on our drive thru Sintra toward the coast. Stops at Casa do Preto for coffee and sweets and a look at the Colares cellars were unexpected treats. Our lunch at Nortada on the coast was the best meal we had in our two weeks in Spain and Portugal—casually elegant with an extraordinary view, the service and food were simply delightful. Many thanks to Jos for a wonderful day trip. He helped manage our expectations and adjusted the itinerary to work with the weather. His care and assistance in dealing with an unexpected health issue on the drive back was deeply appreciated. Definitely a five star guide even when the weather got only one star.
