- Sintra National Palace - Known also as the Town Palace, the Sintra National Palace was one of the residences used by the Portuguese Royal Family until nearly the end of the Monarchy in 1910. Its construction began in the 15th century and showcases elements of Medieval, Gothic, Manueline, Renaissance, and Romantic architecture.
- Park and National Palace of Pena - The magnificent Palácio da Pena is a prime example of 19th-century Romantic revivalism in Portugal. Perched atop Monte da Pena, the palace was erected on the site of an ancient monastery of the Order of St. Jerome. It was the brainchild of Dom Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, who married Queen Dona Maria II in 1836. Enchanted by Sintra, he purchased the convent and surrounding land to create a summer palace for the royal family.
- Cabo da Roca - As the westernmost point of mainland Europe, Cabo da Roca offers a breathtaking view from approximately 490 feet above sea level, overlooking the Mountain of Sintra and the entire coastline.
- Guincho Beach - A popular destination for Lisbon surfers when the swell doesn’t reach the city breaks, Guincho is a long, open beach that is rarely calm, but is also exposed to wind, making it a favored spot for windsurfing in the summer. It delivers quality waves, especially at lower tides, with long, reeling lefts and rights forming around shifting banks. Known for its powerful rip currents, the area also boasts excellent seafood and fresh fish restaurants along the coastline.
- Cascais - Cascais is a year-round resort located just 40 minutes from Lisbon. It has been a holiday destination for kings and aristocrats, and it’s easy to see why.
- Estoril - Long established as a cosmopolitan holiday destination for the affluent on the Portuguese Riviera, Estoril exudes an elegance often associated with resorts on the Côte d’Azur. During World War II, it served as a refuge for exiled royalty and deposed leaders.

Superb personalised tour of Lisbon and Sintra. - Absolutely first class service. We had a personally curated tour of Lisbon and surrounding area with excellent recommendations for walks, museums, cultural and general interest places and a wonderful lunch stop. Pedro’s knowledge and friendly demeanour is a pleasure to behold.
We would not hesitate to recommend his services and indeed hope to use him again in the future. Highly recommended!

Great private tour. Excellent Memories. Book ! - A marvellous whole day. Pedro enabled us to see the sights, in a comfortable and mega efficient way as we were only in Lisbon for two days. He booked tickets ahead so no queues and sorted a lovely table for lunch. Sintra was a beautiful highlight. Saw soooo many Tuk-Tuks stuck in queues up to castle. Worth the difference. V comfortable.

Day trip to Sintra and Cascais - The day trip with Peter was absolutely amazing. This is my second time using him as a guide around Portugal and he exceeds expectations!! We saw so much in just 8 hours and he had the best recommendations on what to do and food spots. He is incredibly funny and knows so much about Portugal. I always recommend a day with Peter when friends and family tell me they are visiting Lisbon. He never disappoints!!

Best private tour in Lisbon! - Pedro was an amazing guide and our 2 full days of touring Lisbon and the surrounding areas was a highlight of our trip to Portugal. He is a native of Lisbon and enjoys sharing his in depth knowledge of his culture and its history. He was very flexible and was able to pivot to change plans as necessary. As an added bonus, he is quite the foodie and was happy to share a number of wonderful restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend this private tour for a fantastic experience of history, food and wine and the best of Portuguese hospitality..

Private tour with Pedro was a 5-star experience - Pedro is amazing! We asked our hotel (Sheraton) to arrange something private and exclusive for me and my wife to visit Sintra and some surrounding towns as an all-day day trip. They hooked us up with Pedro, and we were very glad that they did.
Pedro delivered for us. He had a beautiful and roomy car, bottled water, and was very flexible with us on any accommodation we needed.
He grabbed us an awesome table at a lunch spot in Guincho where we could see the water and the fish was fresh.
He was very patient while we toured inside at a couple of key spots, and overall we had a very pleasant time.

Exceptional Experience in Portugal - I had an incredible experience with Unique Portugal Tours during my visit to Portugal last January. We took a two-day trip to Sintra and the Fátima Sanctuary, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
Our guide, Pedro, was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless. We traveled in a spotless, new Mercedes equipped with excellent navigation, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Pedro also provided fantastic food recommendations, introducing us to some of the best local cuisine.
In addition to his professionalism and knowledge, Pedro speaks excellent English, which made communication effortless. His insights and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our experience.
If you’re planning a trip to Portugal, I highly recommend booking with this agency and asking for Pedro! It was an unforgettable experience.

Pedro was Amazing the entire experience was outstanding! - Pedro was spectacular, professional, and very knowledgeable! We do quite a bit of traveling. I’m at 83 countries now and we spent some time in Spain in Portugal. Our hotel is Sheridan connected us with Pedro and we utilized him for tours and some other transportation needs we had while looking at some properties. He was spectacular, again, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure our experiences were perfect. Further, the vehicle was beautiful. It was a Mercedes S class that provided the ultimate luxury touch for a tour and transportation experiences! I highly recommend him and the company.
