Private Tour to the Estoril Coast and Sintra - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Start your private tour from Lisbon in Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed town with fantastic architecture. This historically rich town is beautifully nestled between hills and is known for its 19th-century Romantic architecture. Once the place where Portugal’s kings spent their summers, Sintra maintains an Eden-like quality.
The town center is filled with old villas and small shops that evoke the days when carriages rattled up and down the cobbled streets. After a stroll in the old city, you’ll make your way to Pena Palace, which stands tall at the top of a hill overlooking Sintra. Its whimsical exterior boasts a profusion of styles from the 19th-century Romanticism era.
Leaving Pena Palace behind, you’ll drive to the charming town of Cascais. Go for a walk or have a cup of coffee in one of the small cafés before enjoying a beautiful drive along the Estoril Coast. As you make your way back to Lisbon along the Atlantic, you’ll pass pretty beaches and the Casino Estoril with its beautiful gardens.

We highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Joanna, was the greatest!! She had a wealth of knowledge regarding these sites as well as the history of Portugal in general -- not just Lisbon. We now have a great deal of appreciation for Lisbon and Portugal bc of all that we learned from her. From the history of the exploration to the architecture and even the best foods of Lison, we gave us so much more than just a tour!! We do believe that we much enjoyed this tour and the information alone paid more than for the cost of this tour. We urge you take this tour. And if possible, see if you can ask for Joanna. She is the BEST!!

A nice leisurely private tour of the area while we waited for our cruise ship to board. The guide was fantastic and they even dropped us off at the cruise terminal at the end of the tour.
