Sintra and Cascais Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon

Our trip was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. We met out 8 person group and despite a taxi strike causing some street closures, we departed on time. We lucked out with our gem of a guide, Nuno from Inside Tours. He was extremely knowlegable and his English was perfect. He kept us informed during the entire trip. The Pena Palace is beautiful, with it's distinctive architechture and views. Our 1 hour stop in Sintra was just long enough to see the sights and have lunch. The drive along the coast to Cabo da Roca was beautiful as were the views from the most westerly point in continental Europe. Next stop Cascais a beautiful little beach town. Again just enough time to stroll along the beach and have some gelato. It was a long day, but there were enough stops to break it up. We would highly recommend this day trip and hope you are lucky enough to have Nuno as your guide.

Joana was a wonderful tour guide. She guided our small group for a full day and did an excellent job. She gave us historical background information and interesting tips. She is knowledgable, friendly, engaging and a great driver!

My husband I signed up for this tour not knowing much about Sintra. The town is cute and the wooded area en route to the palace was quite beautiful. The guide was perfectly fine. What I didn't expect was the number of people who were attempting to visit the Pena Palace. The line to get into the palace was very long and then once you're in, you really can't leave because the line just pushes you along in a very slow manner. If I could have left in the middle of the visit and just sat outside, I would have. The tour of the palace was not even remotely enjoyable. The rest of the tour was fine and I did enjoy Cascais.

Amazing tour, Sintra and Cascais are a must visit when in Lisbon!

This tour was perfect to visit two sites in one day. More importantly it eliminated the logistical nightmare that would have been any attempt to visit Sintra on our own. Plus we got Cascais thrown in for good measure. The tour guide Miguel was knowledgeable, efficient and seemed genuinely concerned that we have a good time. There was a decent amount of time to do your own thing at both places. I would recommend this tour.

Worth twice what they're charging, but don't tell them. Fantastic all around. Great small group, only eight of us, our guide Diogo knew everything about the tour, Portugal, and life in general! The Palace is a fantasy, and the other places we visited were exceptional. If I could give them six stars I would.

I highly recommend this tour

Pedro dos Santos was and excellent guide that was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. The climb to the castle was tough and not for everyone.

Aweseome trip!

Beautiful cities and excellent tour.
Our guide Nuno was excellent, very professional and funny. Besides the cities, Nuno was another highlight of the tour, he was full of information and delivered in such a way that it was entertaining.
Would highly recommend specially if you have Nuno as the guide.
