Day Trips From Lisbon

Firstly, I do not regret going on this tour, and most of the locations are must-see for a trip to Lisbon. This was my second trip to Lisbon and Sintra. As we went in August, it was peak tourist season and extremely busy. Additionally, we were unable to get a quick bus back down from Pena, due to the large volume of other visitors. While the listing mentions all private transportation, this was not. We did wait for some time, but of course this was out of the control of the guides. An important note - the listing mentioning "moderate" walking is definitely underselling how much walking you will have to do on this tour. There are lots of hills and lots of steps, so if you do have mobility constraints please keep that in mind. As far as the stop locations, I think Cascais was not really worth it. Unfortunately, you do not get to visit Cabo Da Roca, just see it from the bus. Perhaps that was due to our delay at Pena, but I did find that to be misleading. All that said, Sintra, Pena, and Quinta da Regaleira are absolutely gorgeous, and this is a great way to see the most, if not too much, on your day trip. I had considered driving to these attractions and I am very glad I did not. Finally, our guides Bruno and Myriam were very knowledgable and had great recommendations for exploring during free times. The radio monitors are an excellent touch so that you can actually hear all the interesting historical facts. I do recommend this tour, but hopefully you are not going during peak season like I was!

I took this tour with my mother, and the attention we received from our guide, Iván, made this trip phenomenal. Plus, Marcos, who drove us around, really made sure we were all comfortable and safe. Thank you for this trip full of history... With people like this, it makes you want to come back. I recommend it 100%.

Our guide, Eloy, was excellent—he gave great explanations, was a fantastic speaker, and took some amazing photos of us👏🏼👏🏼

It's worth the trip. Our guide, Antônio, was very kind throughout the entire tour. He explained everything about the places we visited. Nuno, who led the wine tasting in Monsaraz, was also perfect. Monsaraz alone is worth every second of the visit.

The Fatima, Batalha, Nazaré, and Óbidos tour was wonderful. Felipe, the driver, was very careful and attentive, and Marcos and Javi, our very professional guides, shared the history of each place with us, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the area. They were attentive and charismatic, accompanying our group the entire time—we can’t thank them enough.

The guide who led us on the entire tour was very helpful and went out of his way to provide detailed explanations of each site, ensuring we had a wonderful experience at every stop. Thank you, José
