Romantic Sintra Escape – Self-Drive Electric Car Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 202 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $72

Explore Sintra by private Renault Twizy, visiting palaces, gardens, and Azenhas do Mar at your own pace for six relaxed hours.

“Having the Twizy was the best decision and Victoria was a pleasure! She set us up with directions to each place we wanted to visit as well as recommendations for lunch and dinner. There's already a ton of walking to do at each palace or site and it's a very hilly area. The Twizy enabled us to park close to each site where cars wouldn't fit. And it was just plain fun!! We visited Peña Palace, Quinta de Regaliero, and Monserrat. We did not head to the coast by Twizy as our day was full visiting these 3 sites. Great experience and highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 51 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $216

Review of a private Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais tour, with Pena Palace, local guides, coastal views, pricing, and practical advice.

“We only had one day in Portugal so we chose this tour since most other tours are too early. We went to see Sintra, Pena Palace, Cascais, Cabo de Roca, and drove through Lisbon. We didn’t go inside Quinta de Regaleira to see the well which was something we were looking forward to. If time allowed, we probably would have went with the other tours that could go to all the places we wanted to see. The van is comfortable, although some AC problem during second half of the tour. Our guide Joao was friendly and told us much history of Portugal. Overall, it’s a good and enjoyable tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $108

Review of Lisbon’s private sunset sail, with wine, landmark views, practical tips, pricing, weather notes, and advice on who should book.

“My first time on a sailboat. My partner has been on several trips. What an amazing experience. Our Captain was charming, friendly, and was knowledgable of the maritime history of Lisbon. He provided a bottle of White wine, which was delicious. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours or so, and was excellent value for the money we paid. I'd highly recommend this experience. This was a private tour, there was only the 3 of us on the boat. You may find a cheaper experience being crammed onto a larger boat, but this was definitely a more intimate experience.”
