Here’s an overview of your tour

Want to “squeeze all the juice” out of Sintra? Climb aboard one of our vintage Portuguese 4x4s and in just one day you’ll explore the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira, eat a traditional Portuguese lunch (with wine, of course), cruise off-road through Sintra’s lush forests, and emerge at the seaside cliffs of mainland Europe’s westernmost point, Cabo da Roca. This is our most popular journey for a good reason!

Our restored ex-military 4WDs look cool as hell, sure, but they’re also the best way to tackle the terrain west of Lisbon, passing from hilltop castles to the sheer coastline. We take you to secret lookouts and hidden beaches no other tourists can reach, blasting music the whole time. In summer, we bounce along off-road tracks with the roof off. In the cooler months we splash through puddles of mud as we swerve through the forests.

We are all about the journey, not just the destinations. This is why we love to go off-road, snap Polaroid pictures at the coast, play epic tunes all day long and give you the chance to taste Sintra’s traditional sweet pastry and Port wine

We want you to finish your day feeling like you really know the place.
