A guide to private tours from LisbonThe city, or Sintra and the coast.

How long each one takes, what is included, and which to pick if you only have one day.

Lisbon is built on seven hills, and walking between its sights costs more energy than most people expect. Sintra, its palaces and the Atlantic coast are forty minutes away. Here is what each of our two Lisbon tours involves.

Half a day for the city: the Lisbon tour. A full day out: Sintra and Cascais, with the 07:00 start.

The two, side by side

How to choose

You want the city

The Lisbon tour. Five hours, starting at 07:00 or 13:00: Belém, with the Jerónimos Monastery, the tower and a stop for a pastel de nata; the Baixa that was rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake; the lanes of Alfama; and the viewpoints of Senhora do Monte and Graça.

You want palaces and the Atlantic

Sintra and Cascais. Nine hours from 07:00: Pena Palace on its wooded hill, the Quinta da Regaleira and its inverted tower, Sintra town, Cabo da Roca at the westernmost point of mainland Europe, and Cascais, then the coast road back to Lisbon.

Four things worth knowing before you book

Buy the palace tickets in advance

Entrances are not included. Pena Palace and the Quinta da Regaleira are cheaper online, and in summer the palace sells out. In Lisbon, the Jerónimos Monastery and the Tower of Belém both charge.

Arriving by sea

We can collect you from your cruise ship. Tell us the ship and the terminal when you book.

Private costs less than you think for a group

A coach seat is cheap for one person and stops being cheap at four. Our prices are by group size, not per seat: up to four of you share one car at one price, and the price only steps up when you need a van. And you are not waiting for forty strangers at every stop.

You can change your mind

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up, refunded in full. If the date stops working, message us and we will do our best to move you to another day.
