Additional Information

Your visit may feel incomplete without experiencing Sintra and Cascais, two must-see locations merely thirty minutes away from Lisbon. The coast holds numerous surprises – embark on a journey to unveil them on the scenic coastal route from Estoril bay to Cascais. Your visual senses will delight in the opulence of elegant hotels, the Casino and Renaissance-era fortresses. Explore Cascais, a humble fishing village that transformed into an enclave for the aristocracy and artists. We then set towards the untamed coastlines and precipitous cliffs, reaching the westernmost extremity of Europe, Cabo da Roca. The vista here marvelously mixes the sea with the mountains – through which we traverse to encounter the historically significant centre of Sintra, a part of Unesco’s Cultural Heritage. Its distinctiveness stems from the harmonious interplay of manmade structures with the natural topography. Our stops incorporate Quinta da Regaleira, the unconventional Pena Palace, and the majestic Mozarabic National Palace carrying a history of a millennium. Regional cuisine awaits sampling at “Refúgio da Roca”.

A day to remember in Sintra - Our family of 9 experienced a fantastic tour of Sintra and its palaces with Mon Ami Tours. Our family included 4 teens and 1 senior. Alexandra helped us book the tour, and was a wonderful advisor, assisting us in customizing the best tour for our needs. She was very communicative in the days leading up to the tour. Our guides Nuno and Pedro were phenomenal. Armed with extensive knowledge of the region, our drive to Sintra was chock full of interesting facts and history, and some great music too. We visited Quinta da Regaleira, Monserrate Palace the town of Sintra and Pena Palace. Nuno and Pedro planned the day to maximize our time at each location and beat the traffic and crowds. They also recommended a delicious restaurant for lunch. They were especially attentive and kind to my 80 year old father, assisting him in getting to each location in the easiest way possible. The day was beautiful. Clear blue skies and perfect temperatures. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour, and would recommend this company to anyone looking for five star service.

Got to see everything we wanted - Our tour was with Nuno in a spacious and clean van. It was arranged through our hotel but Alexandra from Mon Ami talked directly with me about the places we wanted to visit as we also wanted to see Caba da Roca so she worked out the order of where we wanted to go. Nuno was friendly and informative giving us time to explore Cascais and Caba da Roca. He recommended a place for us to have lunch in Sintra and walked us to Quinta da Regaliera afterwards then drove us to Pena Palace and accompanied us in the shuttle and for a look at the exterior of the Palace. We didn’t do the inside on Alexandra’s recommendation as we didn’t have enough time and I have to say that with all we did it took longer than 8 hours but we were not charged. Highly recommend Mon Ami tours.

MON AMI and PEDRO are the Best in Lisbon!!!! - Pedro and Mon Ami Tours was an outstanding experience. Pedro is one of the best tour guides I have ever experienced. He is knowledgeable and kind. He made our visit to Sintra very special. Pedro was a true gentleman and helped me climb some of the more difficult steps and slippery paths. Pedro took us to a local restaurant in Sintra that was excellent and left us all full and happy. When we returned to Lisbon, Pedro suggested a restaurant for dinner and even met us there to be sure we would get a table!!! Pedro went above and beyond what the average tour guide does. Prior to our tour, Alexandra was extremely helpful with details and reassured us that we would be having a great day in Sintra. Mon Ami is a well run tour company and I recommend them highly!!!!

Best Tour Guide Trip in Portugal!!!! 5 stars! - We stumbled upon an AMAZING tour guide/company, Mon Ami Tours, led by the owner Nuno, who was also our tour guide. Nuno and his wife Alexandra manage the company together, and we found them through Getyourguide.com. I can honestly say I've never had a better tour guide in my life. Nuno's knowledge of the entire country was unparalleled. His historical insights were truly incredible, making every stop fascinating and informative. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also incredibly friendly and accommodating. His car was spotless, and his easy-going demeanor made the day so enjoyable. Originally booked for 8 hours, Nuno spent 10 hours with us without charging extra. The cost was $314 plus a tip, an absolute steal for the experience we had. Nuno allowed us to customize our day exploring Sintra and Cascais, ensuring we saw everything we wanted. Born and raised in Portugal, he had personal connections everywhere we visited, even securing us a lunch reservation at a fantastic spot,

Fantastic day to Cascais/Sintra with Nuno from Mon Ami! - The day started with Nuno from Mon Ami Tours meeting us in our hotel lobby and walking us to his van. He gave us a brief rundown of the day’s planned destinations and activities and away we went! My wife and I immediately could tell he was going to be a pleasant host and guide as he made us feel comfortable during the ride down to Cascais. After driving around Cascais, we stopped in town and were able to walk around. Then on to Cabo Roca, where Nuno gave us plenty of time to take in this scenic site. From there we went on to Sintra for lunch at a locals’ restaurant that was quite impressive for its Portuguese food and reasonable prices. The tour continued at Pena Palace where we took in the site while Nuno showed his knowledge by sharing some great notes. Never did we feel rushed or “herded” by Nuno while we were touring. We finalized our day in the center of SIntra and then back to Lisbon. We have to say that Nuno really catered the tour to the pace and locations we wanted. Our goal was to have a more laid-back, “behind the scenes” tour and he delivered! All I can say is that we have already referred him back to our friends in Miami and are looking to touring with him again. We only have positive things to say about him, his professionalism and the way Mon Ami ran the tour. Kudos to you Nuno, for a job well done! We are truly grateful to have been able to spend time with you today.

Best tour ever! Wanna have something special? Book it - We made our Tour with Nouno(hope I write it correctly) and had a really amazing day. We where really worried if it would work with a 3 year old, but the entire day, from amazing beaches, great explanations to everything in and around Lisbon, the most western point in Europe, Cascais, Sintra and Pena. Pls book this tour, cause you never get that on get your guide. He tells you about really nice restraunts for a break, ways to go down at Pena Palace and is simply the most competent and nicest guide we have ever had.

Great day trip to Sintra with Nuno - We had a day trip today with Nuno to Cascais, Cabo di Roca and Sintra. It was an amazing day!!!! It was well organized, interesting, lovely and fun. Nuno had a vast knowledge about Portugal and he shared with us all stories. We also had a free time to spend the little towns by ourselves. We had a great time and we highly recommend ✨
