The 10 Best Sightseeing Tours in Estoril, Central Portugal

April 15, 2022 Brandee Mangan

An exclusive resort town long recognized for attracting royalty, Estoril lies less than 20 miles west of Lisbon and is probably best known for its casino. One of Europe’s largest, it was the inspiration for the first of Ian Fleming’s James Bond books, "Casino Royale." Estoril’s mild winters and warm sunny summers make it a perfect beach town, with one of the nicest, Praia do Tamariz, lying right next to the casino. So famous has Estoril become that the local coast is now called Costa do Estoril.

I think that when many of the places are closed the price should be cheaper.. Taking advantage of not too many people for great pictures

Ruben was a great guide. He picked us up at the Lisbon airport and took us on a 4 hour tour of Sintra and Castle of the Moors. Hugo was easy to work with and responds quickly on email. Would recommend this tour and company.

This is a late review, but necessary. We thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour with Sintra Magik in Fatima. The Shrine of course was incredible. The visit to the family home and meeting their descendants were equally touching. We sampled the local cuisine and appreciated the hospitality. Our tour of the religious factory allowed us to return with artifacts for our family. We were so fortunate to have a delightful Irish priest bless these keepsakes. An awesome, memorable day. We highly, highly recommend this tour group.

The day we spent with Tiago as our tour guy was by far the most enjoyable day in Portugal. While driving to Sintra, Tiago took us to an old restaurant upon a hill, full of art on the walls, to enjoy a panoramic view of Lisbon. We arrived then at Sintra to see the Pena Palace. The scenery was magical, with so much fog that made it like a fairytale. We also took a walk around the old city, where Tiago took us to a place in order to taste Ginja shots in chocolate cups! Quinta de Regaleira was a great place too. The nature around, the hidden tunnels and the gothic towers gave us the feeling that we were Game of Thrones stars!:) After we had lunch at a traditional restaurant, which by the way was perfect, we arrived at Cabo da Roca. The scenery there was fantastic. There are no words to describe the breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean. Pure magic! Right after, Tiago made a stop at Belém where we tasted the traditional Pastéis de Belém. Last but not least, the beach at Cascais makes you wanna become a surfer for sure. That tour was a fantastic experience and we were really lucky and glad to have Tiago as our tour guy! It seems like he really loves what he does and along with his kind and professional manners we felt like we were around a good friend! Obrigada Tiago! :) Thank you very much for the most fantastic day in Portugal!

This trip thru Portugal and Spain was our first experience travelling via a private tour. Blue Diamond and their guide Dmitry changed how we will vacation forever. Dmitry’s stories & knowledge of history brought to life the many civilizations, ancient cities, beautiful cathedrals, monasteries and palaces we visited. Not only did we travel to the well-known cities of Lisbon, Algarve, Madrid & Barcelona but he took us to explore smaller less known places such as Nazare, Silves, Sintra, Obidos, Granada, & Fatima where we explored winding cobblestone alleys, site of a miracle, romantic palaces, lighthouse with the largest waves in the world, olive trees as far as you could see. He introduced us to the best local wine and freshest delicious food ever. We are already planning our next trip with Blue Diamond & Dmitry.
