Private Custom Sintra Tour with Local Guide

About this experience

This tour its provided by a true local and pretends to create a diversity of experiences just in one day. History engagement with delightful moments in contact with nature and the ocean. Everything in the right dose to respect the personal pace and style of the group.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is impossible to visit all the monuments that Sintra has in just one day. We are more than happy to tailor the itinerary to match your preferences within the 8hours duration of the tour. The typical day is visiting 1 or 2 palaces & gardens inside and engage with the rest from the outside. With the driving and lunch break, that will be a long, fulfilling (and awesome) day.

Also, comfortable shoes and a spare jacket are recommended in Sintra.
