Highlights
  • Castelo dos Mouros - Moorish Castle
    Monuments
    Skirting two Sintra mountain ranges, the Moorish Castle dates back to the early days of the Moorish occupation of the Peninsula - the eighth century.
    After many attempts, was finally taken by Dom Afonso Henriques first king of Portugal in 1147, and was built the first Christian Chapel of the city, dedicated to St. Peter of Penaferrim.
    In the romantic period, in 1860, the walls were restored under the supervision of Dom Fernando II, husband of Dona Maria II, who wooded the surrounding areas, and gave a new dignity to the ancient medieval ruins. Noteworthy is the Moorish Cistern inside and the so-called Royal Tower.
    Located about 3.5 km from the historic center of Sintra.

Best of the Best - Sintra was awesome, and our guide was the absolute best. He was personable, knowledgeable and he was an excellent, safe driver. A perfect, memorable day.

Memorable Tour with Felipe - If you want 0 anxiety, comfortable, informative and pleasurable tour, then look no further. Fantastic Tour is an excellent choice. We were lucky to have Felipe (Gerald Butler look-alike) as our guide. He was attentive to our needs and made the tour hassle-free. Further, he was an amusing raconteur. Felipe, thanks from the 5 tourists from Winnipeg and Toronto, Canada.

Highly recommend - Felipe was our guide and we had a wonderful day with him. He was full of knowledge about all the sites and everything we saw during our drive as well. He is a very affable guy and it felt like we had a friend taking us around to all the sites. I very much recommend Felipe and this tour!

Best day with best guide! - My family and I had the best tour with Felipe! He picked us up on time and was incredibly warm, welcoming, and flexible throughout the whole day. He was very knowledgeable about the history and background of each place and able to answer any questions we had. A beautiful day with a great guide! We would recommend Felipe and Fantastic Tours to all our friends and family, and we would 100% return to them for our next Portugal trips.

Sintra and Portugal Coastal Highlights - This was an amazing day tour. George was an excellent driver and guide. His suggestions were great and he never made us feel rushed. We would never have thought to go to Cabo Da Roca (the western most point of Europe) had he not suggested it!

Private tour with Philip - This was an amazing tour of Pena Castle and Quinta da Regaleira. Philip was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of history which made the tour even more interesting. We only had 1 day to see the sights, so this was a great tour to see the highlights. This was the second time my boyfriend requested Philip to be our guide... that says something!

Wonderful tour - Filipe was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and told me all sorts of interesting things about the spots we visited. As a woman traveling alone I felt very safe and that I was in good hands. Felt more like I was hanging out with a friend! We even stopped to have the best pastry in the world while in Sintra ;) I definitely recommend!

Sintra, Capo Da Roca and... - Sintra, Capo Da Roca and Cascais are very beautiful and deserve a visit. The driver/ guide Philip was very overwhelmed with the program. He did his best to show us everything but we felt being rushed. He kept complaining about Traffic and parking etc. The van was very old and not well maintained. Overall, we enjoyed the trip but we could have enjoyed it more without hearing Philip complaining all the time.
