Sintra and Cascais Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon

2.Sintra and Cascais Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,018 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $60Top rated

Travel from Lisbon in an air-conditioned minivan with an English-speaking guide to Sintra, Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca, Guincho Beach, and Cascais. Choose whether palace tickets are included. Guides such as Joao, Orlando, Fabio, and Ana add local history and practical tips.

“The guide, Orlando, was excellent. But I was pretty disappointed to learn that the 21 euros or so I paid extra for the Park palace tickets was a total ripoff. The guide knew nothing about this and I was the only one who brought it up. Otherwise a good day for the money but those tickets were outright fraud. Until I get refunded for those I’m gonna have to recommend staying away from this one.”

We loved each of the areas. We really wanted to see Nazare for the surfing and we could not see anything due to fog. Óbidos was a huge surprise and so interesting!! Highly recommend this trip and hope you receive Maria as your guide.”
