OverviewA whirlwind tour through Sintra and the charming Estoril Coast! This tour will take you to the charming Estoril Coast, home to famous beaches and the pretty town of Estoril. About the town of Sintra and its natural surroundings, we can say that it is one of Portugal's ex-libris, classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site! Enjoy your ride as your guide imparts his knowledge of the history and the land surrounding Lisbon as you make your way to Sintra. The lovely town Sintra is a mix of history and culture and natural and manmade beauty. Fantasy castles are set amid exotic tropical plants, lush green valleys, and craggy hilltops with hazy views of Lisbon and the Atlantic.

Driving around the mountain you will pass by amazing palaces, chalets and aristocratic residences in the most incredible combination of architectural styles, colors, and shapes that you will find in Portugal.
