Afonso Henriques grants a charter to the town of Sintra) to the Discoveries, Sintra, which survived the 1755 earthquake, has its golden period between the end of the 20th century and the end of the 20th century. XVIII and the whole century. XIX.

  • Park and National Palace of Pena - The Park and the Pena Palace, located in the Sintra mountains and the result of the creative genius of King Fernando II, are the greatest exponent of 19th-century Romanticism in Portugal, with architectural references of Manueline and Moorish influence. The Palace was built to be observed from any point of the Park, forest and lush gardens with more than five hundred tree species from the four corners of the world.

From Sintra - a special fairytale haven - to the jaw dropping western coastline of Cascais and beyond. - Our tour guide, Diogo, of LRS Private Tours, was enthusiastic and very passionate about his country. After spending a day with him, we understood why. We started the day in Sintra, a very special place in the mountains where the kings and other well to do had summer homes. Set in a lush and tranquil mountainside, we traversed through many centuries. Diogo also took us to a local bakery for a very yummy and warm puff pastry filled with an almond cream. After visiting the castles of Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira, Diogo took us to a local place for lunch and then we were off to the rugged coastline to see jaw dropping cliffs and the beautiful blues and greens of the Atlantic ocean. A full day but worth every minute. Finally, the trip would not have been as interesting or as information without Diogo's great command of his country's rich history which was appreciated by all of us.

A Great Experience - Pena Palance and the.Quinta da Regaleira were amazing - big plus for our tour was that as part of the tour we has timed admission tickets for Pena Palace and our guide got us there right on time so we skipped a pretty good line. Also, the recommendation that we take the bus from the admission gate (3 eur/ person) not only saved time (2-3 min on bus vs. 30 min walk) but also saved our knees and legs for climbing at the Quinta! Guide also took us to a seaside restaurant in Cascais with incredible ocean views. A wonderful day!

Highly recommend a guided tour with Tomas - Tomas was an amazing tour guide. He was punctual and such a delight. We were able to cover off our tour stops of both Quinta da Regaleira and Peña Palace very comfortably. We enjoyed Cabo da Roca in spite of the weather and it was a great way to round off an excellent tour! He made it fun and is very knowledgeable so it was interesting.

Awesome - We had the most wonderful full day private tour of Sintra, and our guide Diogo was so lovely and knowledgeable full of little nuggets of information. Diogo, thank you for being patient with us, especially when we struggled to walk uphill at times. Keep smiling that beautiful smile.

Half day tour, Sintra, Cabo da Roca & Cascais Half Day - Picked up by Antonio in a very nice saloon car at the port in Lisbon at the agreed time. Took us to Sintra centre where we had some free time to wander, but it is very small place and very busy! We went on and took a stop for some great views of the Moorish fort and the Pena Palace on the top of the hill. We then went through the National Pena Park to Cabo da Roca, which again, was very busy, but you get some beautiful views of both coasts. Then off to Guincho beach and along the coast to Cascais, for a short visit there. Then we headed off back to Lisbon. Antonio obviously cares very deeply about the region and the environment and was a great guide for the trip.

Not what I expected for a private tour - The tour more than being private you had an Uber driver. Carolina is a nice person but when it comes to seeing places, she just drops you at the place and you figure it out by your self , she does not come down with you and explained the story behind the places you visit . For a private tour iS not worth it, I had a private tour to another place and the tour guide went down to all the places and explained he did not drop us and pick us up 1hr later
