Good tour leader, earnest and meticulous.
This tour mainly includes Quinta da Regaleira and Pena Palace, with a final stop at Cabo da Roca. The tour leader will introduce the relevant history. The itinerary for the day is as follows: (You need to eat breakfast on your own before arriving. If you don't have time, you can buy pastries at the pastry shop during the 10 minutes of free time in the town.) Quinta da Regaleira (guided tour) / (approximately 1.5 hours of free time, including time for lunch) - Return to the town on your own and gather after lunch on your own. - Pena Palace (guided tour) / (approximately 15 minutes of free time) to take pictures, then gather. - Cabo da Roca / approximately 30 minutes of free time.
The group tour is relatively fast-paced, but the advantage is like reading the preface of a book, you can understand the whole topic.

Our tour from Lisbon was absolutely fantastic! Sintra, a fairy-tale town full of charm and history. Pena Palace was breathtaking — the colours, views, and romantic architecture made it feel like something out of a dream.
We also visited Quinta da Regaleira, with its mysterious gardens, tunnels, and the famous Initiation Well — definitely a highlight for anyone who loves history or photography.
The drive to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe, offered stunning ocean views and dramatic cliffs. Finally, we ended the day relaxing in Cascais, a beautiful seaside town perfect for a coffee or gelato by the beach.
Emilio our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day easy and enjoyable. We had enough time at each stop.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Lisbon — it’s the perfect mix of history, nature, and coastal beauty!

Amazing experience! Maria, our tour lead, was outstanding. She made sure we got the most out of Sintra—we had coffee and pastries at an amazing café, took a breezy walk up to Palácio da Quinta, and then she dropped us off at Pena Palace, where we enjoyed the surroundings before starting our tour. The pit stop at Guincho Beach was exciting—we experienced strong winds! Next, we went to Cascais, where Maria gave excellent lunch recommendations. We opted for a chicken dish, and omg, it was so, so good! We had plenty of time to explore Cascais and truly had an amazing day guided by Maria Alfama. Could not recommend her enough!
