About Lisbon Van Tours

Lisbon Van Tours is a small Portuguese company dedicated to organizing tours, tourist trips and excursions to explore the national cultural heritage. It is an officially licensed travel and recreation agency. It is targeted at small tourist groups, and offers a customized service that includes itinerary organization, hotel reservation, transportation, as well as guided tours. Aimed at inbound tourism, Lisbon Van Tours seeks to offer great opportunities to gain insight into the Portuguese heritage, by focusing on the tourists’ personal interests, like history, art, nature, local traditions, and food, for instance, while simultaneously enjoying the relaxed environment of the local cultures. On the longer tours (more than one day), Lisbon Van Tours opts to stay in more traditional types of accommodation that are associated with the local history: hence, preferring to stay in small hotels, local manor-houses, palace like houses that have architectural value, and tourist lodgings located in rural or countryside areas. The itinerary and activity programmes are structured in a way to fully enjoy experience the journey and, at the same time, relax and learn.

Private day tour visiting two baroque palaces and the scenic Atlantic coastline from Sintra to Ericeira

2 Reviews

In this tour we will visit the National Palace of Queluz, built in the 17th century by Peter, the brother of King Joseph I, it became a royal palace when he married his niece Maria, daughter of the king.

It was the venue of the great festivals of the idle and rich nobility, of bullfights, fireworks, music concerts and sumptuous dancing serenades. This palace witnessed the dramatic moments that preceded the escape of the royal family to Brazil during the first Napoleonic invasion and the birth and death of the emperor of Brazil Pedro I, as well.

In Mafra we visit the palatial complex composed of two palaces, a convent and a basilica that was built by King John V between 1717 and 1734.

This magnanimous work was built unimaginably far from Lisbon and consumed gigantic resources.

Leaving Mafra and before coming back to Lisbon we'll still have time to visit Ericeira, a traditional fishing village also known by its wonderful beaches and the surf spot.
