Sintra has become a popular destination over the last few years, but some places have been overlooked. The idea of this tour is to take you to lush places where even in the high season you do not have to spend time in lines. You get the chance to visit a castle and a palace as well as explore a bit of the coast of Sintra, where there are several lovely restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood. Furthermore, you get to have a official local guide all day with you who is fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
