Private Sintra Including the Biester Palace, with Tickets on the Premium Option
A private full day across Sintra and the Atlantic coast, put together around your pace rather than a timetable.
The Pena Palace and the gardens of the Quinta da Regaleira are the two anchors, with the historic centre of Sintra, the viewpoints and the corners that are easy to miss covered on foot with a local guide. The Biester Palace is on the route too, which few Sintra days can say.
Then Cascais, for the marina, the old town or the promenade, depending on what the day has left in it.
The itinerary is not fixed. It changes as the day goes, which is the point of booking a private guide rather than a seat on a coach.
It suits people who want Sintra and Cascais in one day, without the planning, the queuing or a group setting the pace, and with a guide who can rearrange things on the spot.
Entry tickets to both the Pena Palace and the Quinta da Regaleira are included on the premium option only.
