I booked the Flamingo Experiences to be picked up in Lisbon, and it was fantastic from start to finish. We were shuttled to Sintra, where we met the driver and group and hopped into the jeep. Our first stop was at a beautiful hotel with free entry, where we got to explore the beautiful arch and enjoy a stunning view towards the ocean. From there, we visited Montserrat Palace, which was amazing to see. Afterward going inside, we detoured through the gardens, where we learned about the unique plants and beautiful landscape.
For lunch, we stopped at a local restaurant with three options that we ordered earlier in the day. The food was delicious, and I know the lunch location can vary depending on the day, but they always choose local spots. After lunch, we went to the beach for a quick photo stop. Then, we got into the jeep for the off-roading portion. During this part, we were able to stand up, which was a great experience. While off-roading, we visited the westernmost point of Europe. We wrapped up in Cascais, where they dropped us off. This meant we had to take the train back to Lisbon but we had time to explore Cascais on our own.
The tour guides were incredible! They were passionate about sharing not only Portugal's history but also the unique aspects of Sintra. They had so much knowledge to offer and made the whole experience more enjoyable. If you're looking for a fun and informative way to see the sights, I highly recommend Flamingo Experiences! You can book on their website or Airbnb. read more
