Taking a walk through Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais is like stepping into a rich historical vault. Here, you’ll come across antiquities from the Bronze Age at various sites, indisputably detached from Portugal’s historical narrative.

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.

An excellent trip An excellent guide tour - I enjoyed a lot the tour. The places that I visited were amazing but I would like to explained about the company that I booked this tour Fantastic Ride . They are a attentive to my requirements from the moment that began to be in touch. I very grateful to them. My tour guide was Phillip who organized the tour in order to be confortable and enjoyed each moment of the day trip. Sintra and Regaleira Garden were overcrowded end he knew how to skip the line in order to enjoy the tour and to visit an amazing places with confort and serenity. He knew very well each place that was very good because he showed me very beautiful scenery and places to love Sintra and Cascais Thank you Philliip.

best part of our trip to Portugal - Our tour guide, Filip, was amazing. I know many reviews gush about tour guides and all, but I really mean this. We had to modify the tour because of wildfires and one place was closed. Filip used his knowledge - and our preferences - to adjust. And I'm glad we did. We had a wonderful experience. This tour was probably the highlight of our trip to Portugal. We were never rushed; in fact, I think the tour went on for longer than scheduled, which was great since we had the time to go at leisure. He had a great deal of information about every place we visited. Really, I can't say enough about the tour and our guide. And to be honest, the value was really high. For 9 hours of personal touring (we were 2 couples traveling together), the value was amazing. It would have been a good deal at 50% higher rate (but don't raise prices just cause I said that!). Excellent day. Excellent guide.

Fantastic Experience - Our tour guide George was fantastic! He shared history, cultural commentary, and local insights along the way plus gave us some great restaurant recommendations for dinner in Lisbon & arranged a table at a lovely local restaurant for lunch in Sintra. We booked last minute and the itinerary was customized to our requests. Van was very comfortable and the WiFi & water were much appreciated. Would highly recommend!
