About this experience
Embark on a PRIVATE tour that starts from your hotel/apartment/cruise to the UNESCO World heritage site of Sintra, where your Private Driver/Guide will introduce you to the historical aspects of the monuments you will see around this beautiful mountain. There will be a lot of scenic driving along the hill and the coast, leading us to places like the Westernmost point of mainland Europe ( Cabo da Roca), on the way to Cascais.
Let this place amaze you with your own PRIVATE tour. It will only be you and your friends/family. All the attention will go to you.
We will also have time for a visit to the outstanding and mysterious Quinta da Regaleira (optional and own expense) or to try the typical Portuguese Sour Cherry Liquor Ginjinha.
