Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: National Palace of Queluz, Largo do Palacio, Queluz 2745-191 Portugal
The Royal Palace of Queluz, also known as National Palace of Queluz, dates to the 18th century. The palace was built as a summer retreat for Don Pedro de Bragança, future King Pedro III, and was one of the last large Rococo style buildings erected in Europe.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Sintra National Palace, Largo Rainha Dona Amelia, Sintra 2710-616 Portugal
The Sintra National Palace, also known as the Town Palace, was among the palaces used by the Portuguese Royal Family almost up to the end of the Monarchy, in 1910.
Its construction began in the 15th century and features characteristics of Medieval, Gothic, Manueline, Renaissance and Romantic architecture
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Park and National Palace of Pena, Estrada da Pena, Sintra 2710-609 Portugal
The fantastic Palácio da Pena is one of the best examples of 19th-century Romantic revivalism in Portugal.
Situated at the top of Monte da Pena, the palace was built on the site of an old monastery belonging to the Order of St. Jerome. It was the fruit of the imagination of Dom Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, who married the queen Dona Maria II in 1836. After falling in love with Sintra, he decided to buy the convent and the surrounding land to build a summer palace for the royal family.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Estrada Cabo da Roca, Colares 2705-001 Portugal
the westernmost point of mainland Europe, Cabo da Roca.
Around 490 FT above the sea, here you can have a panoramic view over the Mountain of Sintra and the coast line of the entire area
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Guincho Beach, Parque Natural Sintra-Cascais, Cascais Portugal
A favored spot for Lisbon surfers when the swell doesn't wrap into the city breaks, Guincho is a long, open beach that is rarely flat, but it's also exposed to wind - hence its popularity as a summertime windsurfing haunt. It does produce quality waves though, working best on lower tides when long, reeling lefts and rights can form around shifting banks. Gets big and is famous for its brutal rip currents.
Amazing seafood and fresh fish restaurants on the coast line
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Cascais, Cascais, Lisbon District, Central Portugal
Cascais it´s year round resort just 40 minutes from Lisbon. Kings and aristocrats have holidayed here and it's easy to see why.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Estoril, Estoril, Cascais, Lisbon District, Central Portugal
Long as established the cosmopolitan holiday destination of the rich and famous on the Portuguese Riviera, Estoril has an elegance more commonly attributed to resorts on the Côte d’Azur. Exiled royalty and deposed despots made this their haven during World War II

Pedro planned a terrific day with a trip to Sintra to see magnificent historical sites, a delicious meal by a beach in Estoril, and a walk on a nearby beach to Cascais. He advised us on how to maximize our time at each stop and did what he could to make each stop enjoyable and as easily accessible as possible. He shared a wealth of knowledge about sites we passed on our drive. He was a professional in every way. We will be sure to have Pedo take us the next time we are ready for a tour in Portugal.RaniaC735

Pedro does a stellar job of making sure his guests are well cared for while also ensuring that they make the absolute most of their trip in Portugal. Though our vacation only lasted three days, Pedro took my family to see a wide variety of locations and eat at some of the best food Portugal has to offer. He is incredibly approachable and his knowledge of the country is unparalleled. Portugal is a gorgeous country to visit and Pedro’s guidance helped make the experience unforgettable.662vics

Joao Pedro was our Tour Guide. He did a GREAT job. It started out as a rainy, overcast day, so Joao Pedro asked for some flexibility in arranging our trip with the weather and things couldn’t have worked out much better. While it rained we enjoyed The National Palace at Queluz. This wasn’t even on our plan or schedule, but we ended up spending hours there. We went up to Sintra and it was crowded and still a little rainy. Joao Pedro pointed out a couple of places on which we should focus our time. They worked out great. We got some shopping done (again unexpectedly). From there we went to Colares/Cabo da Roca and got not only great views (and pictures), but found a locals restaurant with magnificent fresh seafood. Then, down to Cascais where Joao Pedro gave us a little cultural tour of the seaport. Joao Pedro was knowledgable, honest, friendly, funny and very helpful. We ended up with a slightly different tour than we had planned, but we believe it was a much better tour than we could have expected. Highly recommended.
