This private tour invites you to leave Lisbon and explore one of the country's most beautiful and little-explored regions. Portugal's West Coast surprises with its balance of sea, heritage and rural tradition.
We'll pick you up at your preferred location in Lisbon and set off in peace towards Ericeira, a town with a strong identity and an Atlantic soul. Between white houses and quiet streets, feel the rhythm of coastal life and the stories that the sea brings.
We continue on to Azenhas do Mar, where traditional architecture adapts to the natural landscape in a magical way. One of the most beautiful and photogenic places on the Portuguese coast.
The highlight of the visit is the National Palace of Mafra, built by King João V at the height of the Portuguese empire. Its grandeur impresses with its scale and detail. The library, the carillons, the convent and the basilica create a monumental ensemble that represents power, faith and Portuguese Baroque at its finest.
The last stop is a return to the origins. At the José Franco Village-Museum, you'll discover how people lived in rural Portugal in the last century. This space is a tribute to old professions, lost traditions and community spirit.
This private guided tour is ideal for those who want to get out of the city and discover a more genuine Portugal, with comfort, personalised attention and time to absorb every detail. At the end, you'll return to your accommodation feeling like you've experienced something unique and real.
