Lisbon Shore Excursion
(Lisbon, Sintra, coast of Estoril)
We are looking to see if there is any interest in joining us in a small group tour for a full day shore excursion on October 5th, 2015 in Lisbon. I have been in contact by e-mail with a tour company called "Spain Day Tours" who have very positive reviews on trip advisor.
On their web page www.SpainDayTours.com , they describe the full day tour as follows:
"We begin by driving to the World Heritage Site of Sintra to explore the narrow streets followed by a drive up the mountain to visit the 19th century extravaganza of King Ferdinand-the Pena Palace. We will ascend by tram and enter the Pena Palace to hear the story of this superb site (tram and admission extra).....We continue to the Portuguese coast to explore the small historical center of Cascais....From here we will continue along the coast and the beautiful beaches of Estoril back to the City of Lisbon.
In the afternoon wee will continue to explore the busy and impressive squares and you will discover how this city was once the main center of trade in Europe.At the top of the highest hill of Lisbon, you will see the Castle of Saint George overlooking the City and the old Moorish quarter of Alfama. Many of the the adventurous discoverers of Portugal departed from the area of Belem, which we will visit next....In addition to these monuments(Jeroniimos Monastery and the nearby tower of Belem) you will also see the Discoveries Monument.
The cost of this full day tour is 59 Euros and includes pick up and drop off at the port, personal Englishspeaking driving guide for groups up to 6 persons and a driver with expert guide for groups of 7 or more, minivan or motor coach.
The price appears to be very reasonable for what is offered in a full day tour. Spain Day Tours has advised me that they need a minimum of 10 persons to guarantee the tour.
