Come with us and explore Sintra through the eyes of a local, exploring genuine out of the beaten track places, avoiding the crowds of mass tourism, without missing the main attractions. We will start by approaching the cultural part, knowing Sintra’s fascinating history and development while seeing it’s most iconic monuments. You will get lost in QUINTA DA REGALEIRA magic gardens. ( Guided tour insed not included) Then we will STOP FOR A NICE TYPICAL LUNCH on one of my favorite local family’s restaurants. After this I will take you to the place that saw me grow, a ROMANTIC PICTUREQUE VILLAGE (is like turning the clock back a few 100 years), on the top off the mountain with privileged views to the region where we can enjoy some peace and quiet! At last we will do an OFF ROAD SAFARI, discovering the most hidden places in the natural park and coast line, where we can feel the true magic of Sintra, admiring beautiful scenic viewpoints lost in nature to places like CABO DA ROCA, ADRAGA BEACH and MORE ( I don’t tell more because I wanna keep them secret). This experience is a product of my entire life, my passions, my love for nature and culture. Designed for you to understand why Sintra is such a magical place and why the special relationship between men and this place. Will be an unforgettable day:) Other things to note Due to the COVID-19 we reduced the group size to 4 but in case of close groups we can accept group of 6. Lunch and Tickets are not included.

(I have an online experience on Airbnb about Portugal's History, if you are planning on coming to Portugal that may be a fun and engaging starting point! Take a look: https://www.airbnb.pt/experiences/1936561 ) Sintra is an enchanted place. Not even the most romantic poet could fully describe its beauty. A fascinating combination of episodes, some natural and others historical, that produced a remarkable result. From a king who was more interested in gardening than in politics, to an extravagant Brazilian merchant who decided to build in the garden of his palace a spiral that falls into darkness. We will walk through these stories while exploring the viewpoints and hidden places that allow us to see the many faces of Sintra. In the morning I will challenge you to explore the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira, so you can plunge into the darkness. After lunch, we will stop at the colorful and emblematic Pena Palace, which offers incredible views from the top of the mountain. We will also visit the westernmost point of the European continent and cross the magical mountain forest on our way to the Pena Palace. The perfect finale will be the coastal ride that will take us to the beautiful town of Cascais. IMPORTANT NOTES: - For groups of 4 to 8 people, I will offer to pick up and drop off in Lisbon for free - Entrance fees, food and beverages are not included

I invite you to join me on a tour along the Tagus River. Come and visit Lisbon in a different way, be amazed by it’s colours, the way they spread over the hills and touch the river. We will sail from the Doca de Belém Dock to the Praça do Comércio, one of the most beautiful plazas in the word. From there we can see the old neighborhoods of Lisbon: Chiado, Baixa, Castelo and Alfama. Then it’s time to cross to Cacilhas on the other side of the river to get the widest possible view of the city. Sail close to the Cristo Rei on the south bank, cross under the bridge and sail to Belém to see its tower. On the way back you will see how the people of Lisbon love to walk, sit and chat by the side of the river; usually the banks are full of people enjoying the sun, the river and boats passing by. You will have plenty of time to take amazing pictures of the city and of this incredible experience. I will wait for you aboard Other things to note I love to take photos, aboard I will be mainly attending to your safety and navigation. If I get a chance I will take some pictures of your experience and share it with you.
