Pickup details

Pickups start at 7:40 AM for downtown hotels and 7:50 AM for uptown locations. The day before your tour, we’ll confirm your exact pickup time so you can start your adventure relaxed and ready. If parking isn’t available or your hotel is just outside the central pickup zone, we may ask you to walk a short 5-minute distance to a nearby meeting point — a chance to stretch your legs and take in the morning atmosphere. If your hotel isn’t listed, simply choose the closest available option or one of the designated meeting points provided. To keep the day flowing smoothly and ensure everyone enjoys the experience, we allow a maximum waiting time of 5 minutes at pickups and meeting points.

Centro Historico de Sintra

In the heart of Sintra village, we slow the pace and let the town reveal itself. This is where royal history, daily life, and quiet charm meet. You’ll have time to wander the narrow streets, admire the Sintra National Palace from the outside, or enjoy a gentle walk toward the gardens of Quinta da Regaleira (entry not included).For many guests, this moment is about atmosphere — sitting down for a coffee, watching the town move, and tasting one of Sintra’s iconic pastries, the Travesseiro or Queijada, while taking it all in.

As we drive through the rolling hills outside Sintra, you’ll notice the sandy vineyards of Colares, home to one of Portugal’s rarest wines. Grown on ancient ungrafted Ramisco vines, these wines carry a unique character, elegant, structured, and full of history. Even from the window, it’s easy to imagine the stories and traditions behind this hidden gem of a region.
