In this tour we will visit the National Palace of Queluz, built in the 17th century by Peter, the brother of King Joseph I, it became a royal palace when he married his niece Maria, daughter of the king. It was the venue of the great festivals of the idle and rich nobility, of bullfights, fireworks, music concerts and sumptuous dancing serenades. This palace witnessed the dramatic moments that preceded the escape of the royal family to Brazil during the first Napoleonic invasion and the birth and death of the emperor of Brazil Pedro I, as well. In Mafra we visit the palatial complex composed of two palaces, a convent and a basilica that was built by King John V between 1717 and 1734. This magnanimous work was built unimaginably far from Lisbon and consumed gigantic resources. Leaving Mafra and before coming back to Lisbon we'll still have time to visit Ericeira, a traditional fishing village also known by its wonderful beaches and the surf spot.

    Amazing experience

    We had a fabulous time on this excursion! These buildings are so rich with history. The guides speak several languages and are very welcoming. Our spot along the coast was Caba da Roca (western most point of Portugal)and it was breathtaking. It was quite windy but beautiful. Cute little café and gift shop there as well.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your comment. I hope you come again to know a little of Portugal with us. Kind regards Henrique

    Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.

    How much does Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast cost?

    +

    Prices start at €100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.

    Is Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lisbon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lisbon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lisbon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Bottled water; and Transport by air conditioning Van or Suv. Not included: Meals; Monuments tickets; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast include hotel pickup?

    +

    Is Private Tour to Queluz and Mafra palaces and Ericeira surf Coast wheelchair or stroller accessible?
