Highlights
  • Sintra Municipality - Welcome to our Home town! Apart from non-touristic viewpoints inside the natural park (and obviously the stunning nature, that will be everywhere you look) , we welcome you to decide which monument you wish to visit in the inside ( more than one will be very exhausting for one day only, believe us!) and give you our best recommendations to help you decide!

You will get to see all of them from the outside or viewpoints, don’t worry - 3. Oh , before leaving Sintra, we have a special wine related treat for you, but we will keep it a surprise for now!

  • Park and National Palace of Pena - This will be one of the possibilities for you to visit in the inside!

Yes, it’s exactly the one you’re thinking of, the famous fairy-tail like, colorful Palace on the top of the mountain - Pena Palace!

  • Castelo dos Mouros - Another of Sintra’s many attractions you can choose to visit - Sits next to Pena Palace, on the top of the mountain showing off its fortress walls and breathtaking views!
  • Sintra National Palace - Another of the monuments that you can choose to visit

The mesmerizing first Palace made in Portugal and its iconic chimneys sits in the middle of Sintra Historical center!

You can visit the Palace in the inside or just stool around the center’s narrow streets and get a taste of the best local pastries!

  • Quinta da Regaleira - This is another of the possibilities that you can choose to visit!

A one of a kind property, with tons of mystical references, mystery gardens, enigmatic grottoes and of course the famous Iniciatic Well!

  • Cabo da Roca - After crossing the mountain, we arrive to where the land ends and the sea begins: the most westerly point of mainland Europe! Please make sure you get your camera ready because this place is a real-life postcard!
  • Cascais - Following by the beautiful ocean-front roads & white sandy beaches such as Guincho we reach our last destination, the scenic fishing village and a former vacation destination for the Portuguese Royal family!

Here you will have free time to stroll around the village and it’s cobbled streets!

Sintra, Cascais and more - Our wonder guide, Tomas, created a very relaxing and enjoyable environment for us throughout the day. Never felt rushed. Tomas was very informative and adaptable to what we preferred. The tour itself was worthwhile, the monuments we visited were beautiful. Thanks for a great day. All I can say is "WOW"

Great day with Tomas - Tomas is one of the best tour guides ever! He was very informed about the sights, and having grown up in that area, he was able to regale us with stories and folklore. He always tried to strike a balance between being a narrator and letting us have some free time to wander. And he is also a good driver!

Sensational tour of Sintra & Cascais! - We had a great tour with our guide Alexandre Garrido. We were picked up at our hotel and whisked off on an adventure to see so many great sights. It was a fantastic day and Alexandre had so much knowledge which he shared in a fun and interesting way. Just the right balance of info but not at all boring. We visited the Quinta da Regaleira where Alexandre expertly guided us through the little paths and stairs to get to the Initiation Well and other sights before the crowds. He took photos and videos of us when we wanted and made us laugh and smile along the way. In addition the knowledge of secret spots to get the best pictures or views of Sintra and Cascais was perfect. We also got taken to a traditional restaurant to enjoy a delicious lunch… definitely not a place we would have found ourselves! We loved this tour, what a great way to see so much in one day. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Alexandre and Wonder Van again. Thank you for the awesome day and a professional 1st class service, brilliant!

Amazing experience - This tour was incredible! I was able to customize what we wanted to see and do. There were 21 of us and it was wonderful because of our guide Alex! He was engaging, informative and a pleasure to be with. We learned so much and he got us to every place we requested. Pena Palace, Quinta de Regalaria, port tasting and visiting the western most place in Europe! It was truly incredible. If you could go in this tour I really hope you get Alex as your guide.

From helping us find a delicious local restaurant to providing insightful commentary throughout the day, Tomás exceeded our expectations.

We wish Tomás all the best and highly recommend Wonder Van and Tomás to anyone seeking a private tour in the area."

Would definitely recommend this tour to Sintra & Cascais! - We opted for a private tour to Sintra (Palacio da Pena and Quinta da Regaleira), Cabo da Roca & Cascais and it was one of the highlights of our family trip to Portugal. Both Sintra and the coastal areas are beautiful and worth a visit if you are staying in Lisbon. All coordinations with Wonder Van were easy and professional. Our driver and guide Luis deserves an special mention. He shared very interesting information and was very patient with our requests during the full day tour. Really nice person!
