Spend an entire day exploring Lisbon's surroundings on a tour that takes you to Sintra and Cascais. First visit the mysterious and fascinating village of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to explore its natural landscapes and cultural and natural heritage. Upon exploring the village, you will feel as though Sintra seems to have come straight from a fairy tale, with its many palaces and Romantic architecture.

Next, it is time to cross the mystic mountain of Sintra towards the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to see the quaint Colares village and learn more about local wines dating to the 13th century. You will be taken to the westernmost point of continental Europe.

From here, you will climb down to the beach. Continue to Cascais, a former fishing village that gained fame as a resort for Portugal's royal family in the late 19th century and early 20th century. You will have time to enjoy lunch among the splendid scenery and may choose to enjoy a traditional meal at a local restaurant, or bring your lunch and eat outside.

Thank you for organizing an utterly perfect day! We had a ball. The guides - Rita, Carolina and Ricardo - were a dream team. They shared so much good information with us. We thoroughly enjoyed their company -- lots of shared laughs. It was truly a memorable experience. Warmly, Molly and crew
