About
Two journalists who became guides! Private tours that combine history, knowledge, and a personalized experience to discover Portugal.
We started in the historic center of Sintra, among old buildings and monuments. In the morning, time is included to visit one of its palaces. After lunch, we went to Azenhas do Mar, with its houses over the sea and natural pool. We stopped at Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe, passed by the famous Guincho Beach and also visited Boca do Inferno. We finished in the picturesque Villa of Cascais, between the beach, the historic center, restaurants, and shops.

What to expect
- 1Centro Historico de SintraOur tour departs from Lisbon to one of Portugal’s most romantic destinations: Sintra. Here we stroll through the Historic Center, take pictures and tell the history of this Villa. Here you can visit one of the following palaces: National Palace, Biester Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Pena Palace, Monserrate Palace or Queluz Palace. 3 hrs Admission not included
- 2Azenhas do MarThen, our destination is the beach of Azenhas do Mar, known for its oceanic pool and impressive cliffs. 30 min
- 3Cabo Da RocaNow it is time to enter through the beautiful Serra de Sintra, crossing pretty old, bucolic streets, where the royal charrets passed and, a few kilometers later, we reached the westernmost point of Europe – Cabo da Roca – whose mountains, with a height of 140 meters, end by the sea and so ends Europe. On site, there is a lighthouse, a gift shop and a coffee shop. 30 min
- 4Guincho BeachDescending the Serra de Sintra, our route reaches the wild Praia do Guincho, one of the surfers' favourites. Because it winds too much, the waves are larger and attract athletes. Tourists are attracted by the unique beauty of the place. 30 min
- 5Boca do InfernoOur next destination is the famous rocky formation by the sea, the Mouth of Hell. The name of the locality is due to the impact of the waves hitting the rocks, which often seem to shake the ground. The sun reflecting in the water is very beautiful, as it blends the serenity of the open sea with the strength of the waves that go against the rocks. 30 min
- 6Centro Historico de CascaisOur tour ends in the charming Vila de Cascais, where we will stroll through the Historic Center. 1 hr
