About this experience
Traveling safely to Sintra and later in the day Cascais; you will see more than meets the eye, in great company with a flexible guide. Many years experience to cater for your needs and for any unforeseeable circumstances. Normally more of a walking tour, but if necessary we can always minimise walking, do some sightseeing and visit alternative sites if time to do so. Not focused in shopping, more the cultural aspects of a city with over 2000 years of existence. If possible include a gastronomic experience, either in terms of the local pastries or of the local cuisine, and who knows some wine to go with that...
