Hi everyone!! I'm António ! The idea of this experience is to provide the best possible full day in our hometown. Knowing Sintra like the back of my hands and all the magic it has to offer we came up with what we believe to be the most amazing and complete way of experiencing its wonders in one full day! - We will start the day at your Hotel/AirBnb and drive for about 30 min until we arrive in Sintra - Our first stop will be at the historic center of Sintra to discover its beautiful labyrinth like streets. We will talk about what makes Sintra so special while discovering its secrets and taste its unique pastry. - We will then discover the Palace of Quinta da Regaleira and get lost in its 4 hectares of mysticism and romantic arquitecture and gardens. - From here we will go through the very picturesque and hidden towns of Colares and Penedo to reach the beautifull views over the coastline and the village of Azenhas do Mar. - On the coastline we will discover the hidden gems of this stretch of coast, far from the crowds, before arriving in Cabo da Roca for a view of the westernmost point of continental Europe. -We will then have the best postcard like views of the Pena Palace and finish the tour with a visit to this unique romantic Palace. :) Other things to note Pick up and drop off at your place in Lisbon or Sintra Meals and Monuments fees are not included.

Want to “squeeze all the juice” out of Sintra? Climb aboard one of our vintage Portuguese 4x4s and in just one day you’ll explore the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira, eat a traditional Portuguese lunch (with wine, of course), cruise off-road through Sintra’s lush forests, and emerge at the seaside cliffs of mainland Europe’s westernmost point, Cabo da Roca. This is our most popular journey for a good reason! Our restored ex-military 4WDs look cool as hell, sure, but they’re also the best way to tackle the terrain west of Lisbon, passing from hilltop castles to the sheer coastline. We take you to secret lookouts and hidden beaches no other tourists can reach, blasting music the whole time. In summer, we bounce along off-road tracks with the roof off. In the cooler months we splash through puddles of mud as we swerve through the forests. We are all about the journey, not just the destinations. This is why we love to go off-road, snap Polaroid pictures at the coast, play epic tunes all day long and give you the chance to taste Sintra’s traditional sweet “travesseiro” pastry and homemade “ginja” liqueur. We want you to finish your day feeling like you really know the place. Join us for an unforgettable day of adventure, laughs and local legends. Other things to note Lunch and palace entry tickets are not included! Expect to pay just €15-20 for lunch, including wine! We can skip the queues though to buy cheap entrance tickets. Your driver generally hosts in English, but we also speak Portuguese, Spanish and French.

(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

In one afternoon you can enjoy the best of Portugal’s stunning coastline, taste local Portuguese food and wine and go off-road in Sintra’s mysterious forests. Join us to watch the sun set into the sea with sand between your toes, salty hair and wine in one hand. We’ll pick you up in one of our legendary convertible jeeps and take a brief look at Sintra’s best sights and palaces before hitting our favourite forest tracks. These off-road, unmarked trails pop out at the westernmost point of Europe, Cabo da Roca. Our secret beach is a short hike away. The dirt trail twists along a steep route but it takes only 30 minutes to get down to the sand. Bring proper shoes for this part! Flip flops/thongs/jandals/foot wedgies won’t make the cut. Once we reach the soft, golden sand – just relax. We’ll set up a picnic spread of traditional Portuguese “petiscos” (that’s our word for tapas) stacked full of cheese, chouriço (chorizo), bread and other snacks. You can swim in the salty ocean, kick a ball on the sand, or just sit back with a few glasses of local wine. You might have 99 problems, but a beach ain’t one. Since it is only a half day, you can combine it with one of our morning cultural journeys, which explore UNESCO World Heritage Sintra palaces and more. *** It's a level 4 Hike, it can be challenging at some points. For safety reasons this experience may be cancelled due to weather Other things to note You can combine this sunset hike with one of our morning cultural journeys to Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira or our Magical Forest Hike & Picnic in Sintra. Your driver generally hosts in English, but we also speak Portuguese, Spanish and French.
