From the guide

Enjoy panoramic views while exploring the palaces and the coast of Sintra and Cascais on a guided tour aboard a classic Portuguese 4x4

Embark on a jeep tour through the Sintra mountain where in the morning, we begin by exploring all the palaces of Sintra, including the Palacio da Pena, the Castelo dos Mouros and the Quinta da Regaleira. On the way we will make stops at strategic viewpoints to enjoy panoramic views, where we will tell the entire historical context of each palace

In the afternoon, we continue to the coast of Sintra with stops at different beaches, including the Azenhas do Mar. You can choose from a variety of local restaurants for lunch, from traditional Portuguese cuisine to seafood restaurants, with or without sea views

We continue to Cabo da Roca and end the tour with a panoramic view over the entire coast of Cascais to the center of the Villa

Note: The decision to visit palaces is entirely yours, but it is not recommended to visit more than two, being the whole tour customizable!
