Why take this tour?

This tour takes you away from the busy areas of Lisbon and Sintra, still so close and you feel like you are in the middle of a totally different area of Portugal! It will show you a lost Portugal, areas that today are coming back to life because of Tourism but still maintaining their own identity! You will see how the local people used to live and in some cases, still does live and you will learn about our culture and ways of life!! It is amazing how so close to big busy centres we have communities like these and it is a communion between the old and the very old​ since we can visit one or two monuments which are from our Neolithic period, almost 5000 years ago!!
