The palace is en eclectic fusion of architectures, incorporating Renaissance, neo-gothic and neo-Moorish styles, on view of “a thousand and one nights”. A beautiful and relaxed experience.

Amazing manueline architecture and symbols of the Portuguese discoveries of the 16th century, and the arrival of Vasco da Gama to India, which we told you about before. After lunch, a quick stop to take pictures and then continue to Lisbon

“Magical 50th Birthday experience! ”
I highly recommend this tour organized by Nuno. Our guide was Rui Filipe and he was extremely knowledgeable, kind, patient and had a great sense of humor. My friends and I had an amazing experience.. we felt that we were in very good hands. We got very lucky with the weather inspite of storm warnings and everything worked out perfectly. Nuno & Filipe were very reassuring and professional right from the booking process until we were dropped back to our door steps ! It was an unforgettable experience!

“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
$350/ per group
