[To give everyone the chance to get this trip the lunches and dinners are not included] Not booked yet? C'on join me in this four days adventure. We go mostly on foot to discover Lisbon's alleys and cozy stairs, the romantic Sintra and its mountains and beaches, and the breathtaking Cascais. Prepare yourself to get lost between discovering Lisbon's great architecture and history at the same peace we know each other. Of course, we will see the great monuments but we will take care of amazing spots, closed rooms in some churches, lovely cafes, and splendid restaurants. We will take the nonobvious routes, talk with the locals and get into Portuguese and Lisbon history. On alternate days we go deeply into a nature adventure, tracking in the mountains near Lisbon, and visiting its historic landmarks and beautiful beaches. For some experiment with the surf and for others a cool beer or cocktail in the beach lounge.

About me: My name is Rui, a Portuguese living in Lisbon but a good knower of every inch of mainland Portugal. I've born upper north and lived in several cities before moving "definitely" to Lisbon.
