Sintra was for a long time a royal sanctuary, with its farms and palaces. The Peña National Palace on top of the hill is known for its extravagant appearance and colors and for its stunning landscape... Cape da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. Passage through Cascais and Estoril. This is our proposal for another incredible tour, in a unique place, mystical and full of history. But being a private tour, if the customer has any preference, we can adjust the itinerary according to the possibilities.

Amazing experience in Portugal.
Francisco was an excellent guide for our group of 4. We had him 2 separate days, one for sintra, cascais and it was super efficient, and enjoyable. He had waters on hand and was easily reachable by texting. He also transported us to Porto from Lisbon with stops on Óbidos, Nazare and Aveiro as per our request. He made sure everything was exactly as we wanted and timed it out perfectly. Highly recommend Badger Tours!
Response from the operator: These were two days of discovering some of the most visited and authentic places in Portugal. I hope this was just your first visit to Portugal, because there are many more places and experiences that I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Amazing service
This is the second time that I have used Badger Tours. Last year for wedding transportation for my guests and a private tour in Lisbon and this year, for a private tour of Sintra and Cascais. Francisco is a pleasure to deal with and he is professional and knowledgable with his suggestions. I would highly recommend using this company for private tours or transfers. Great service!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and for booking our services again for this trip to Sintra and Cascais. I was happy to know that the family is growing. I hope can be posssible to meet the baby next year. I wish you all the best.

Just perfect company
We had a wonderful time with a lot insight Information from Francisco about the Country, the Sites and Culture. It was perfectly planned and also the one Day wine tour was splendid. Well organized and we saw different vinaries that impressed us a lot. We will come back again to learn more about this fantastic Country, the people ‚s mentality and Nature. Thank you Francisco for everything. Best regards Denise
Response from the operator: Thank you Denise for your kind words. The wine tour was indeed an experience that showcased the diversity and quality of the wines from our wineries in the Setúbal region. This time, with visits to 4 wineries and 5 wines, they got to know some of the best that is produced here. Lunch and dinner, also featuring typical Portuguese food, were also part of this long day experience. The second tour to Sintra is always a must, because of the wonderful monuments we can visit.

We did a 2 day private tour with Francisco of Badger Tours. Sintra and Evora. It was Amazing from start to finish. A+
We did a 2 day private tour with Francisco of Badger Tours. Sintra and Evora. It was Amazing from start to finish. The knowledge of historical insights exceeded our expectations. Francisco is reliable, showed up on time (early), professional and very polite. Badger Tours was accommodating to our groups pace and flexible in the itinerary when we wanted to take extra pictures at various lookouts. The booking process was smooth, we even had to reschedule one of the days due to our flight cancellations and he worked with another group in order to help us all. The vehicle used was comfortable, clean and had great air-conditioning. We’d give Francisco and Badger Tours 6 Stars out of 5.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, we always try to find solutions tailored to our clients. And although it was necessary to do the two tours on consecutive days, I think they were very relaxed. It was also an excellent experience for me in your company. I hope you will visit us again soon and I want to be able to show you many wonderful places in Portugal.

Best kept secret in Sesimbra!
This was by far the best private tours we have had on any family vacation. Francesco was very courteous and knowledgeable about Lisbon and Portugals history! Highly recommend it!
Response from the operator: Your words make me very happy. They were indeed two trips during which I tried to show you the best of Sesimbra and Lisbon. I hope to see you again in our wonderful town for another relaxing holiday.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sintra/Cascais Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Setubal District.
How much does Sintra/Cascais Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $308 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Setubal District usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sintra/Cascais Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Setubal District is not rushed.
Is Sintra/Cascais Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Setubal District, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sintra/Cascais Private Tour?
+
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 Sintra/Cascais Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sintra/Cascais Private Tour?
+
Around 10 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 Setubal District 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 Setubal District and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sintra/Cascais Private Tour 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 Setubal District 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 Setubal District?
+
On Outty we rank every Setubal District experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sesimbra : Guided Kayak Tour in Arrábida Natural Park & Caves, Observation of Dolphins and Whales with Marine Biologist in Arrábida, Sesimbra: Arrábida Dolphin and Whale Watching tour with biologist. 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 Setubal District?
+
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 Setubal District?
+
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.
