-
Aldeia Da Mata Pequena - A village that has been lost in time and that has recently become famous among the people of Sintra and Mafra for the transformation it has undergone. The village was restored, in terms of aesthetics, because in the structural part everything is the same.
Here we return to the rural environment that characterized 80% of Portugal 100 years ago. - Palacio Nacional de Mafra - Visit and contemplation of one of the most extraordinary libraries in Portugal and Europe, for the wealth of space and a valuable collection of about 36,000 copies.
- Ericeira - Ericeira is the Surf Mecca in Portugal, a charming place that shows us a past turned to fishing and a present and future turned to sport and youth.
It will be in Ericeira that we will choose a restaurant for lunch. The restaurants in Ericeira are famous for the quality of the fresh fish and seafood they offer. Here you can enjoy typical dishes of Portuguese cuisine.
- Forte do Zambujal - After stopping at this place is made the historical framing and explanation about the characteristics of the space to visit.
- Azenhas do Mar - A small fishing village with houses painted in white and blue that remained intact and remains the same to this day.

Great tour - This was a great tour to Mafra, Queliz and a few more places. Very nice and interesting palaces and we had a number of interesting and unusual places. Bruno was a perfect guide. Very knowledgeable about history and surroundings. The restraunt he suggested had a very good seafood and wine as well as view to the ocean. I highly recommend this tour.

Mafra - Scene of the Monastery Memorial, by José Saramago - We made a visit to Quinta da Regaleira, Azenhas do Mar and Palácio de Mafra with the company Walkborder(as always, impeccable service) and we ⁇ everything.
In Regaleira, the initiatic well is interesting and super safe to walk.Initially we thought it would be dangerous to return from the depths of the well, because we found it difficult to climb a long staircase. None of that happened. There are many shaded paths, with native forest surrounding the palace and well.
Azenhas do Mar remains adorable with that air of the Amalfi Coast, bustling sea and white-painted houses.
The palace of Mafra surprises by the enormous construction. Before going to the place, I suggest reading the book by José Saramago, "Memorial of the Convent", which describes it with mastery.
Do not visit the convent on Tuesday when the church is closed. On other days, it opens at 2 p.m. The interior of the church surprises by the amount of tube organs (6 in total). The library also deserves a visit.

We liked very much our Private Tour to Mafra, Ericeira and Azenhas do Mar - On our trip, we discovered so much thanks to our guide Joao Lopes. Joao was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Portugal.
Sharing his extensive knowledge about his country and enjoying the time he spent with us made it such a memorable experience for us.

an off the beaten path tour - Rita was our guide. We had a great time with her! She was very kind and personable. She catered the tour to our preferences and we made lots of good memories. We went to many nice spots and she taught us a lot about the history and culture there.

Sintea - Bruno was an incredible tour guide. We had so much fun, he made the best of the day when the Palaces were closed due to the fire risks. We ended up seeing more of The area than we ever expected.
Thank you for being such a wonderful guide! We truly had a fabulous day!!!
