Answers to the questions travellers ask most about our day trips from Lisbon. Each tour page has its own questions too. Something missing? Message us on WhatsApp.
Where do the tours start?
Private tours pick you up at your hotel or address in Lisbon (the Sintra photo tour also picks up in Sintra and Cascais). Small-group Algarve tours meet at 8:00 at Rossio Square (Praça Dom Pedro IV), where your guide holds a “Dream Tourers” sign. We send your guide’s details before the trip.
How long are the days?
The Sintra tours take about 8 hours and the Berlengas and Nazaré trip about 10. The Algarve trip takes 11 to 12 hours, including about 3 hours’ drive each way.
How much do the tours cost?
Each tour page shows the price on GetYourGuide or Viator and our direct price next to it. Book any of our day trips directly with us, by WhatsApp or the booking form, and pay 15% less than on GetYourGuide or Viator. Private Algarve tours depend on group size, so message us for a quote.
Can we book directly with you?
Yes. Use the booking request form on any tour page, or message us on WhatsApp. There is no payment on this website: we confirm availability first and send the payment and cancellation terms with your confirmation. We aim to reply within 1 hour.
Is the boat trip into Benagil Cave included?
Yes, on the Algarve tour: the boat trip is included in our small-group boat-trip tour on GetYourGuide and in every tour on Viator. On other GetYourGuide options it can be added on the day. Boats only sail when the sea allows; on rough days we see Benagil from the clifftop instead.
Is the boat to the Berlengas included?
It depends on the option you choose: the Berlengas and Nazaré trip is sold with or without the return boat from Peniche.
Are entrance tickets included on the Sintra tours?
On the Sintra royal palaces and Cabo da Roca tour, tickets are paid on site. The Sintra photo tour has an option with tickets to Pena Park and Quinta da Regaleira included.
Is lunch included?
No. Every tour has a stop for lunch, and meals and drinks are paid separately.
Which languages do your guides speak?
English, Hindi and Bengali on every tour, Portuguese on the Algarve tour, and Urdu and Arabic on the Sintra photo tour.
Can children join?
Yes. Booking sites offer lower prices for children on several tours, and infant seats are available on the Berlengas trip. Tell us your children’s ages when you book.
Are the tours suitable for everyone?
Every tour includes some walking, and Sintra has hills and stairs. The tours are not suitable for wheelchair users, and we don’t recommend them during pregnancy or for travellers with back or heart problems.
Can we cancel?
Bookings on GetYourGuide and Viator can be cancelled for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start. For direct bookings, we send the payment and cancellation terms with your confirmation. See our cancellation policy.
How quickly do you reply to messages?
We aim to reply within 1 hour. The fastest way to reach us is WhatsApp.
What should we bring?
Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, clothes for the weather and your passport or ID (a copy is fine). Each tour page lists anything extra, such as swimwear for the Algarve and the Berlengas.
