Experience Day Trips in Cascais with Withlocals

"My college-age son and I had a private tour of Sintra and the coast with Miguel. We visited a castle, walked around the pretty village, had a delicious lunch and toured the coast. It was a relentlessly rainy and cold day, and Miguel went above and beyond to work around it and ensure an amazing experience "

"We are so glad we booked a tour with Adriana. From the history she shared the entire day, the pre planning, restaurant and bakery recommendation was all fantastic. She was a pleasure to work with and show us her magical town of Sintra. We will be back <3"

"We had the best day with Alexandra, she allowed us to fully customize our experience to fit our needs and was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun to spend the day with! We would highly recommend booking with Alexandra for any travel needs in Portugal! Thank you for a perfect day Alex!"

"Our group of six wanted a personalized tour of Sintra while we were in Lisbon, and we were so fortunate to have found Mauro! He was easy to deal with while setting up and the communication was great. We had an itinerary of our own for the day, but after chatting with him, he made suggestions that were SO much better than what we had planned, we were really thankful for his expertise. He grew up in Sintra, and so he knew ALL the ins and outs of getting around, parking, tickets, and also gave us great background a history about what we saw. We have to say tho that the highlight was the restaurant where we ate. It was one that Mauro knew well since his family had been going there for years. The food was fabulous, and the service was so great, we felt a little like family too!! Mauro even sat down before the meal and explained all the foods on the menu. Very authentic Portuguese food :). Mauro is a terrific young man, and made the day fantastic! We highly recommend him, and know that booking with him was a great experience. We spent 12 days in Portugal, and took at least 10 tours with different guides. We all agreed that he was one of the two BEST guides we had our entire trip! His English is excellent, he has a sense of humor, and made the whole day fun and memorable. BOOK WITH HIM!!"

"Traveling with João was a pleasure. He was knowledgeable and interesting and kept the conversation going. He gave us plenty of information, then let us explore on our own."

"We (a party of 6) had a wonderful time with Rodrigo and Adriana! Our most basic request was: - away from crowds to your known places where we still get the real feel of Sintra They took this and ran with it and we had a wonderful, off the beaten path day! Full of understanding the importance and history of Sintra, great food and places we would have never found on our own. Their local knowledge from growing up in the area can’t be beat! And on top of it, they were great company! Highly recommend!"

"We were four guys from North Carolina on trips with our wives in Spain and Portugal. We decided to take some time off from shopping, etc. in Lisbon and booked this tour with João. João speaks excellent English. From the time he picked us up at our hotel, through our visit to the wonderful and historic Templar city of Tomar he was like an encyclopedia of knowledge on Portugal. With information on the Templars help in founding modern Portugal, the merger into the royal family with the Templars and their impact to this day. We also discussed subjects as diverse as Columbus being originally from Portugal and Salazar’s impact on neutrality of a Portugal in WW2 and assisting the Jews in fleeing Europe. A great day of sightseeing and history!! Highly recommend!"
