A Day Well Spent! - This is our 4th tour with Living Tours between Lisbon and Porto, and I have to say they do a great job with their Tours. This tour with Ana was a nice small (6) group tour and we spent the day exploring the exterior of the Pena Palace, Sintra and Caiscais with a nice visit to Cape Roca via the senic route. As a local resident and native to Portugal, Ana was able to be the expert on the sights we visited and deftly handled the line (and parking!) at Casa Pasteis de Belem for our afternoon treat. An added bonus I did not expect was a visit to the Royal Treasury Museum to see Portugal's Crown Jewels and other treasures. A real treat!

Beautiful visit to Peña Palace - We started the day enjoying some delicious pastéis de nata, then visited the iconic Padrão dos Descobrimentos celebrating Portugal’s great explorers. From there, we found an amazing lunch spot right by the beach—such a perfect break! In the afternoon, we explored Moorish Castle followed by the stunning Pena Palace near Lisbon. Our guide, Carlos, was a wealth of knowledge and made the experience even more memorable!

Sintra day tour - Excellent tour of Sintra and the palace during our day tour from Lisbon. We also saw Cabo Da Roca and a few monuments in Belém. Our guide Carlos was very informative and did a great job explaining the sites.

Amazing Sintra Day Tour with Gus! 💯 - Huge shoutout to Gus (Gustavo) for making our day exploring Sintra, Belém, and Cascais absolutely legendary! ​ Seriously, the way he breaks down Portugal’s colorful history—especially all the wild stories behind Pena Palace—is just next level. He doesn't just give you facts; he makes the last few hundred years feel like a movie. It was honestly so fun and enriching. ​If you’re booking with LivingToursLisbon, do yourself a favor and ask for Gus. It was a 10/10 experience from start to finish. Super enjoyable and would recommend him to literally everyone!
