Sintra private Tour

If you want to know how a small village located near the end of the known world became the summer resort of Portuguese royalty, join this tour where you will visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sintra, village and gardens. This little paradise is located just 40 minutes away from Lisbon. An area full of mountains and nature where you will stroll through its medieval streets full of history in the shelter of the Castelo dos Mouros. Palaces and castles seem to sprout from the mountain, and this will enchant poets like the famous Lord Byron or composers like Richard Strauss. We will visit the Vila de Sintra, with its famous sweets, the Queijadas and the travesseiros. In front of the National Palace of Sintra we will talk about the kings and queens who lived there and how the history of Portugal and the world changed from those rooms. We will go in search of the palaces that populate the mountains and we will talk about perhaps the most famous one, Pena Palace, a jewel of Portuguese romanticism. Our path will also lead us to try to unveil the secrets of one of the most mysterious places in Portugal. Esotericism and secret societies go hand in hand at Quinta da Regaleira. After this walk through more than 3000 years of history you can visit the palaces on your own, stroll through the endless Sintrense forest or stop for a bite to eat some pieces of the rich Portuguese gastronomy.
