Pena Palace, exterior guided tour
Guided visit to the Pena Palace grounds. The Pena Palace is the last royal palace of Portugal, before turning into a republic. It represents the 19th century Romanticism in Europe, being the only romantic palace in Europe with a sea view. You will be amazed with its unique architecture and spectacular views. The palace is en eclectic mix of architectures, incorporating Renaissance, neo-gothic and neo-Moorish influences, that together will give you a view of “a thousand and one nights”. A beautiful and relaxed experience.
Sintra
After Pena Palace, a short drive to go to the center of Sintra. Here will give you family time, and you can either stay in the village and enjoy the wonders of this beautiful medieval little town, view the National Palace or walk to visit Quinta Regaleira (tickets not included).
Cape Roca
After enjoying Sintra, we will meet again, to take you to Cabo Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. A 15 minutes stop to take pictures, enjoy sea breeze, and relax.
Cascais
As we leave Cape Roca, we will head to Cascais, with an amazing view along the coast. Cascais will surprise you, with its sophistication of a place where the royal family spent part of their summer, but still what remains of a little fishing village. Time to have a nice lunch or enjoy the views.
Estoril
A quick view of Estoril, by the coast, as we return to Lisbon. A charming little town, where James Bond got some inspiration - we will tell you all about it, on the way back.

About Tour Guide Nuno C.
I have been living abroad and travelling extensively. When i came back to Portugal, wanted to build a unique experience for visitors looking to learn more about our amazing country. Not only history, but rather learning about life, culture and seeing Portugal through the eyes of a local. We will not talk about monuments only, we will discuss day-to-day life, culture, food, economy, politics, education... You choose, as the interaction will make the difference, and your tour will be unique to you

Hollis H.
“Wonderful trip to Sintra & the nearby coast”
We worked with Nuno to tailor a tour to our liking for a day from Lisboa to Sintra and back along the coast. He speaks fluent English, has a good sense of humor and possesses strong knowledge of the area and the monuments. There was a train strike that day and he expertly maneuvered heavier than average traffic, allowing us to visit the famed Pena Palace (must see, but go early as we did) and the beautiful grounds and palace of Regaleira in Sintra. He also recommended a wonderful seaside restaurant for us to have a leisurely lunch of fresh fish. We passed through Cascais but did not spend time there and had no regrets about our choice to dine elsewhere. Nuno's communication prior to arrival was excellent with prompt responses to every query from our group of 6. We thank him for a fabulous day and highly recommend Nuno for your next visit to Portugal.

Dear Hollis, it was a pleasure to welcome you, your husband and your friends for the day. It was great to walk with you through Pena gardens, to show you the grounds and the history of the amazing place, whilst avoiding the crowds. Then take you to Sintra, to visit Regaleira, and after, giving you time to enjoy lunch by the coast. You made the difference, being active, interested and good fun. Thank you for your trust and a great day
