The crown jewel, multi award-winning and bestseller tour, this is a classic experience one must have when in Lisbon.
We start by Sintra, whose cultural landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll have free time to explore the village center with its typical narrow and steep cobblestone streets and outstanding sceneries.
The tour heads after to Quinta da Regaleira, and its 4 hectares of lush gardens, lakes, grottoes and enigmatic constructions such as the Iniciatic Well, a true must see.
The next stop is the enormous Pena Park, a unique botanic garden with 85 hectares of pure nature easy to fall in love with.
After the Sintra visit, the tour takes you through the charming road of the county to the westernmost point of continental Europe, the impressive Cabo da Roca.
Last but not least the beachtown of Cascais, former fisherman town, today an elite and chic hotspot, after being a refuge during World War II, where you’ll have free time to stroll around.

5.00Great experience and lots to see. Lengthy day with lots of walking, but well worth it. We were disappointed, as this was to be an “English speaking tour”. Yet one couple spoke only French and the other Polish only. I feel bad for the Polish couple and additional time was required to inform the French couple. Not what was advertised or scheduled.

5.00Our day long tour with Expert/Excellent Tour Guide Alexandre Ovidio with Boost Lisbon, was amazing in every way. Alex met us promptly at the meeting point, with a comfortable, clean van. Upon departure for our tour, he described in detail what our day's plan entailed, how much time we'd expect to spend at each historic site and he was always very clear as to meet up times/locations after any free time during the day. He is very knowledgeable of Portuguese history as well as European history and an excellent and entertaining communicator. It was very apparent that Alex truly cares about the quality and enjoyment of his tours. He truly goes the extra mile for his clients.

5.00Excellent trip. Andre was a great guide - very nice, helpful and attentive. The only delta was not having tickets to enter in Pena Palace, but I understand there were external issues preventing this to happen.

5.00Tomas showed our small group a lovely day exploring two memorable locations on the east coast of Portugal and Sintra. Our thoughtful guide did an excellent job navigating a busy, popular tourist destination (Pena palace) and helping us find delicious lunch places as well.

5.00We had an exceptional guide, Andre from Boost Portugal. We were a small group, my wife and I, and a single traveler from Spain. He was fluent in both English and Spanish and was very knowledgeable of the sites we visited. Also, used our time together very effectively. Would highly recommend.

4.00We enjoyed our day in Sintra and trip to Cascais. However, it was a very long day. It was enjoyable to be with other travelers and our guide did a fine job of sharing the history of what we were seeing. Know that there is a lot of walking and climbing stairs on this tour. Enjoyed having 90 minutes on our own in Sintra to explore and have lunch.

5.00This is a fantastic trip as you visit Pena Palace, Regaleira, Cabo do Roca and Cascais in one unrushed day from Lisbon. Our guide Madeleine was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave us a good tip on where to have lunch!
One wonderful day

5.00We went on a tour on March 8 with my mother, we were lucky to spend the day with Andre - he is the most friendly and open professional, with a great sense of humor and good skills in driving a van, which is very important on narrow serpentines. Andre told interesting facts about each location that we saw, the day passed interestingly, actively and quickly, although it seemed like 9 hours - it's a lot). We definitely recommend this tour for getting acquainted with historically important locations.
