Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Cascais, Central Portugal
A coastal town just 20 miles west of Lisbon, Cascais was once a small fishing village, but its idyllic scenery attracted the attention of artists, writers and expelled European nobility in the 20th century. Today, it still attracts high society, but all society comes in force to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and adventure options like sailing and surfing. The Conde de Castro Guimarães Museum, a former palace, is now open to the public and displays an impressive collection of art and artifacts.

We had an excellent tour with Andres. He brought us to a great spot to view the sunset where we could see the Alfama area and the river for a great view. He told us some history of the Alfama area and fado music. He brought us to the dinner show and walked us in and gave us the time he would be back to get us. The dinner show was very good. We had salad, codfish and vegetables, creme brûlée, wine and coffee. The music and singers were wonderful. The restaurant was small and intimate. After the show we had a nice walking tour of Alfama with Andres. He got us some cherry liquor in a chocolate cup to sample. Alfama at night was so interesting. It was great having a knowledgeable guide to walk us through the narrow, winding streets. Thanks for a great evening Andres!

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.

We took a private tour with Amigo Fred on a gorgeous sunny Lisbon day. He picked us up promptly in his comfortable VW convertible and whisked us away for a whirlwind tour of the best view points in the city. We got great photos and an introduction to this beautiful city of seven hills. He tailored the Tour to our interests and we were able to decide what to do for the remaining time we had in Lisbon. We learned of the history and culture of Lisbon from a charming and friendly local. He gave us many useful tips that we applied for the rest of our visit. His communication was excellent as were his English skills. We liked him so much that we did a second private tour to Sintra in his nice minivan.

Pedro was a brilliant, friendly guide with a warming smile and a genuine, contagious passion for Lisbon. The tour was full of amazing, iconic landscapes and sights. We loved dwelling into Mouraria, feeling Lisbon’s heartbeat and drinking ginjinha liqueur with a local, right at her doorstep. Loved it! ❤️ The tour exceeded all our expectations and we definitely recommend it.
