Get lost in Sintra with a Local / from Lisbon
Once upon a time there was a mountain full of wildlife and mysteries where ancient cultures gathered to practice pagan rituals, hunt, and protect their territory. This mountain was sacred and a respite place for people seeking peace in monasteries and pilgrimage and it still remains a sacred place for the people who grew up around it. Sintra changed a lot over time and became a very touristic place where its true essence is often forgotten. As locals, we were privileged to have lived in a moment in history where this mountain was our own “backyard”. A place where we could still find those rituals taking place, explore abandoned monasteries, palaces and sleep in the woods. We grew up to be the same curious and passionate kids we once were about our land. This is our heritage, this is our home and this is the core of the experience we want to share with you.
Locals know better. Feel free to feel inspired. Come on board.A quick pick of what we’ll do throughout the day:
1.Stop at a viewpoint for an Introduction to Sintra’s History;
2.Visit to Quinta da Regaleira Palace (the one we believe best represents Sintra’s spiritual vibe);
3.Visit to an old traditional village;
4.Small hike in the sacred part of the forest;
5.Stop at Adraga Beach and cliffs.
P.S. Bring snacks and drinks (we do not stop for lunch at a restaurant). Tickets for Quinta da Regaleira are not included.

Sintra Jeep Safari
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.
Sintra Coast Jeep Adventure
Our adventure begins through the countryside following the centenary tram line, towards Colares. You will have the opportunity to see the simplicity of our typical villages, and se the oldest Wine Cellar in the country, where you can get to know a little of Portugal's winemaking traditions, which remain intact, from the ancient times to the present day (not available on Sundays).
Head to the coast, meet the considered “Santorini of Portugal”, – a small village between the ocean and the cliffs!
Continue on the coast line towards the most famous beaches in the area, and as we are getting there ahead of the crowds, lucky enough to enjoy the vast ocean avoiding the vast “ocean of people”.
Time for lunch at a 100% local restaurant where you will delight our typical dishes and good regional wine, on the top of the mountain.
Through paths and trails, we continue our adventure taking you to our secret location, that can only be reached with the help of a 4×4 jeep. You will lose your breath with this magnificent setting, that you will never forget!
We challenge you for some “off the beaten tracks”? Hold on tight, we will cross the mountain on “Adventure” mode! Let's “raise some dust” on our way to, Pena Palace.
We can let you at Sintra Station, OR Historical Center, where you can explore Quinta da Regaleira, and we help with the tickets.

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.
Sintra with a Local (Pick up Lisbon)
Hi everyone!!
The idea of this experience is to provide the best possible full day in our hometown. Knowing Sintra like the back of our hands and all the magic it has to offer, we came up with what we believe to be the most amazing and complete way of experiencing its wonders in one full day!
- Start the day in Lisbon in front of Dona Maria II Theater
- Our first stop will be at the historic center of Sintra to discover its beautiful labyrinth like streets. We will talk about what makes Sintra so special while discovering its secrets and taste its unique pastry.
- We will then discover the Palace of Quinta da Regaleira and get lost in its 4 hectares of mysticism and romantic arquitecture and gardens.
- From here we will leave the tourists behind and go through the very picturesque and hidden towns of Colares, Penedo, Almoçageme etc. to reach the open atlantic coastline.
- On the coastline we will go for a waterfront lunch before exploring its brethtaking cliff views and Cabo da Roca - The end of the World!
-We will then have the best postcard like views of the Pena Palace and finish the tour with a visit to this unique romantic Palace. :)

Continue on the coast line towards the most famous beaches in the area, and as we are getting there ahead of the crowds, lucky enough to enjoy the vast ocean avoiding the vast “ocean of people”.
