What to do and see in Cascais, Central Portugal: The Best Tours

October 10, 2021 Oliva Fomby

A coastal town just 20 miles west of Lisbon, Cascais was once a small fishing village, but its idyllic scenery attracted the attention of artists, writers and expelled European nobility in the 20th century. Today, it still attracts high society, but all society comes in force to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and adventure options like sailing and surfing. The Conde de Castro Guimarães Museum, a former palace, is now open to the public and displays an impressive collection of art and artifacts.

I think that when many of the places are closed the price should be cheaper.. Taking advantage of not too many people for great pictures

We took a private tour with Amigo Fred on a gorgeous sunny Lisbon day. He picked us up promptly in his comfortable VW convertible and whisked us away for a whirlwind tour of the best view points in the city. We got great photos and an introduction to this beautiful city of seven hills. He tailored the Tour to our interests and we were able to decide what to do for the remaining time we had in Lisbon. We learned of the history and culture of Lisbon from a charming and friendly local. He gave us many useful tips that we applied for the rest of our visit. His communication was excellent as were his English skills. We liked him so much that we did a second private tour to Sintra in his nice minivan.

Pedro was a brilliant, friendly guide with a warming smile and a genuine, contagious passion for Lisbon. The tour was full of amazing, iconic landscapes and sights. We loved dwelling into Mouraria, feeling Lisbon’s heartbeat and drinking ginjinha liqueur with a local, right at her doorstep. Loved it! ❤️ The tour exceeded all our expectations and we definitely recommend it.

Climb aboard our vintage Portuguese 4x4s and tackle the best of the Sintra. You’ll explore the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira and eat a traditional Portuguese lunch (with wine, of course) before cruising off-road through Sintra’s lush forests, to emerge at the seaside cliffs of mainland Europe’s westernmost point, Cabo da Roca. Passing from hilltop castles to the sheer coastline of the UNESCO world heritage landscape. We take you to secret lookouts and hidden beaches. In summer, feel the breeze whip through your hair as we bounce along off-road tracks with the roof off. In the cooler months we keep the roof on, turn the music up, splash through puddles of mud as we swerve past house-sized boulders, pine forests and giant ferns. This is why we love to go off-road, play epic tunes all day long and give you the chance to taste Sintra’s traditional sweet “travesseiro” pastry and homemade “ginja” liqueur. Join us for an unforgettable day of adventure, laughs and local legends.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Private transportation, Bottled water, Alcoholic Beverages, Snacks, Blankets, Phone chargers, Polaroid picture

Exclusions: Lunch, Tickets
