Buenos Aires - Full Day Sightseeing Tour - 7 hours
<span><span><span>Meet your local guide at local pier and start with your visit. </span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span><span>Explore some of the most recognizable landmarks in Buenos Aires. Find out about the history and culture of this city, as you take in some of the most significant spots. Start at the most important square in the country: Plaza de Mayo. The country was founded here in 1580, and today the most important governmental buildings are located here including Casa Rosada (Government House), Cabildo (City Hall) and Catedral Metropolitana (Metropolitan Cathedral). Continue through the cobblestoned streets of San Telmo neighbourhood, where the original porteños (Buenos Aires residents) settled in the early days. The next stop is picturesque La Boca, home to Caminito, perhaps the city's most photographed street thanks to its corrugated iron and brightly coloured houses. This block houses one of the few outdoor museums in the world, where artists exhibit work, related to the influence of mainly Italian immigrants who arrived at this port at the end of the 19th century. La Boca is home to the legendary football (soccer giants) Boca Juniors, whose colours of blue and yellow adorn most of the houses and stores in this neighbourhood. Drive towards Palermo, passing through Puerto Madero, a regenerated area where redbrick warehouses have been transformed into trendy restaurants and bars. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span><span>Once in the northern area of the city, drive past Palermo Chico with its impressive townhouses, tree-lined boulevards, and parks. Palermo Soho, on the other hand, combines the flavour of an old, working-class neighbourhood with some contemporary details, including ethnic restaurants, design stores and bars. The bohemian atmosphere makes it popular with Argentines as well as foreign visitors, and restaurants cater to all palates. Continue to Recoleta, one of the most elegant and sophisticated districts, visit Nuestra Señora del Pilar Church and Recoleta Cemetery, known for its rich architecture and famous personalities whose mortal remains it treasures.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span><span><span>The Jerónimos Monastery, masterpiece of the Manueline style and a tribute to the king that welcomed and protected the Jews that fled from Spain and then expelled them in 1496. The Monument to the Discoveries </span>where you will have the opportunity to see the faces of Jewish men that participated actively in the Portuguese Golden Age of the Discoveries.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>The Monument to the Discoveries celebrates the Portuguese who took part in the Age of Discovery. It is located on the estuary of the Tagus river. The monument consists of a 52 metre-high slab of concrete, carved into the shape of the prow of a caravel with its sails unfurled.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>Belém Tower is a fortified tower located in the Belém district of Lisbon. It was built in the early 16th century in the Portuguese late gothic style, the manueline, and is one of the symbols of the city. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>The Commerce Square with the beautiful façade of the Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceiçao Velha. <span>The Church’s greatest highlight is its Manueline Portal representing Our Lady of Mercy, which was part of the ancient Misericórdia Church, featuring a tympanum with the images of the king D. Manuel the 1st, the Queen D. Leonor (sister of King Manuel and founder of the Order of Mercy) and Pope Leo X</span>, the Rossio square and the gothic revival elevator de Santa Justa.

<span><span><span>The Museu Nacional do Azulejo or National tile museum is renowned for not only for its Azulejo (tile) collection but also for its location.

It is a major component of Portuguese architecture and is found throughout the country on ceilings, floors, walls of churches, palaces, and homes. This museum occupies the ancient Convent of Madre de Deus (Mother of God), built in 1509 by Queen D. Leonor, and adjoining buildings including Saint Antony’s Chapel and a church noted for its Baroque style.</span></span></span></p>

<br />
<br />
<span><span>The castle of Sao George is located on one of the seven hills of Lisbon, to the east of the Baixa. In the context of the Christian Reconquista the castle and the city of Lisbon were retaken from the Moors by King Alfonso Henriques</span></span> <span><span>with the help of Northern European crusaders taking part on the Second Crusade. The castle was dedicated to Saint George in the late 14<sup>th</sup> century by King John I.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>Lisbon's ancient cathedral was built by Portugal's first king on the site of an old mosque in 1150 for the city's first bishop, the English crusader Gilbert of Hastings. From outside (with two bell towers and a splendid rose window) it resembles a medieval fortress, while inside it appears predominantly Romanesque, with a Gothic choir and ambulatory.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span>Jewish people were the advisors of Kings and Queens, doctors and even some of the explorers, geographers and mathematicians. The tour will start with a general introduction to the Jewish presence of the city, followed by a nice walk in the city centre passing by the site of the 1506 Jewish Massacre</span></span></span> <span><span><span>near the </span></span></span><span><span><span>Church of Sao Domingos</span></span></span><span><span><span> and the most well preserved Alfama </span></span></span><span><span><span>Jewish and medieval Quarter. Alfama </span></span></span><span><span><span>is a village within a city still made up of narrow streets, tiny squares, churches, and whitewashed houses with tile panels and wrought-iron balconies adorned with pots of flowers, drying laundry, and caged birds.</span></span></span> <br />
<br />
<span><span><span>With the abolition of the Inquisition in 1821, families of Sephardic Jews decided to return to Portugal. Most of these Jews were merchants from Morocco and Gibraltar. These were people with a cultural level greatly above average. They could read, speak and write in liturgical Hebrew, Arabic, English and Hakitia, the Moroccan judeo-hispanic dialect.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span>We will continue our tour with a visit to the only </span></span></span><span><span><span>Synagogue of Lisbon (Shaaré Tikvá), passing by the Commerce Square, the place where thousands of Jews were forced to be baptized in the 15th century. </span></span></span></p>

Lisbon: Half Day Excursion to Sintra, Cascais & Estoril
<p><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Visit the pretty and charming village of Sintra, former residence of the Portuguese Kings and aristocracy<br />
with the National Palace and continue to the fishing village of Cascais and the famous cosmopolitan town of Estoril. </font></strong></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Sintra is one of the most<br />
delightful places to be found in Portugal. With its extensive range of green<br />
bills with its crags - the Serra de Sintra - so picturesquely situated and offering<br />
stupendous views of the coastline with its impressive beauty, Sintra is indeed<br />
"a garden of the earthly paradise". The artistic heritage of the Old Town, described<br />
by Byron as "the most pleasing in Europe", also include valuable archaeological<br />
remains, particularly from the Roman period, ancient manor houses, churches<br />
of personalised artistic value and characteristic villages. </font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The National Palace is consisting<br />
of various bodies built during the course of successive epochs on the so-called<br />
"Chão da Oliva", the Paço da Vila de Sintra is one of the most important examples<br />
of regal architecture in Portugal and for that reason is classified as a National<br />
Monument. This gradual multiplication of buildings, with different styles, is<br />
largely responsible for the enigmatic enchantment of this ancient palace, dominated<br />
by great twin chimneys atop the kitchen that constitute as authentic ex-libris<br />
of Sintra.</font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Cascais was a small fishing<br />
port throughout early history as it lies protected from nature's elements at<br />
the mouth of the Rio Tejo. When in 1870 the King, Luís I, chose to convert the<br />
17th Century building of the Citadela into his summer residence Cascais soon<br />
became a very fashionable town and aristocratic palaces and mansions followed.<br />
The Citadel or Fort of Cascais is a 16th century fortress built to protect the<br />
Bay of Cascais. Today, Cascais now boasts smart new Marina with lovely yachts. </font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Just outside the town is<br />
the famous Boca do Inferno in which the sea on rougher days hammers into the<br />
rock and creates a booming noise and a spectacular spray thus creating its name<br />
which in English means "mouth of hell". </font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Estoril town was really<br />
created from the curious needs of the two World Wars. It became a prime location<br />
for European royal exiles forced to leave their own countries. It has been the<br />
residence of King Umberto II of Italy, Juan de Bourbon of Spain, Karl Hapsburg<br />
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and King Carol of Rumania. The many modest yet<br />
architecturally interesting mansions still remain to indicate their royal owners.<br />
At its height its visitors referred to Estoril as the "Portuguese Riviera".<br />
A Casino with wide surrounding avenues and spacious gardens, a golf course,<br />
all of which soon appeared and then flanked by large hotels and impressive private<br />
homes. </font></p>

<br />
<span><span><span>The Jerónimos Monastery, masterpiece of the Manueline style and a tribute to the king that welcomed and protected the Jews that fled from Spain and then expelled them in 1496. The Monument to the Discoveries </span>where you will have the opportunity to see the faces of Jewish men that participated actively in the Portuguese Golden Age of the Discoveries.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>The Monument to the Discoveries celebrates the Portuguese who took part in the Age of Discovery. It is located on the estuary of the Tagus river. The monument consists of a 52 metre-high slab of concrete, carved into the shape of the prow of a caravel with its sails unfurled.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>Belém Tower is a fortified tower located in the Belém district of Lisbon. It was built in the early 16th century in the Portuguese late gothic style, the manueline, and is one of the symbols of the city. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>The Commerce Square with the beautiful façade of the Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceiçao Velha. <span>The Church’s greatest highlight is its Manueline Portal representing Our Lady of Mercy, which was part of the ancient Misericórdia Church, featuring a tympanum with the images of the king D. Manuel the 1st, the Queen D. Leonor (sister of King Manuel and founder of the Order of Mercy) and Pope Leo X</span>, the Rossio square and the gothic revival elevator de Santa Justa. The heart of the city is the Baixa or city centre; this area is being considered for UNESCO World Heritage Site status.</span></span><br />
<span><span><span>The Museu Nacional do Azulejo or National tile museum is renowned for not only for its Azulejo (tile) collection but also for its location. Azulejo is a cherished Portuguese tradition that has enjoyed uninterrupted production for five centuries. Azulejo is glazed, ceramic tilework that is usually blue. It is a major component of Portuguese architecture and is found throughout the country on ceilings, floors, walls of churches, palaces, and homes. This museum occupies the ancient Convent of Madre de Deus (Mother of God), built in 1509 by Queen D. Leonor, and adjoining buildings including Saint Antony’s Chapel and a church noted for its Baroque style.</span></span></span></p>

<br />
<br />
<span><span>The castle of Sao George is located on one of the seven hills of Lisbon, to the east of the Baixa. In the context of the Christian Reconquista the castle and the city of Lisbon were retaken from the Moors by King Alfonso Henriques</span></span> <span><span>with the help of Northern European crusaders taking part on the Second Crusade. The castle was dedicated to Saint George in the late 14<sup>th</sup> century by King John I.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span>Lisbon's ancient cathedral was built by Portugal's first king on the site of an old mosque in 1150 for the city's first bishop, the English crusader Gilbert of Hastings. From outside (with two bell towers and a splendid rose window) it resembles a medieval fortress, while inside it appears predominantly Romanesque, with a Gothic choir and ambulatory.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span>Jewish people were the advisors of Kings and Queens, doctors and even some of the explorers, geographers and mathematicians. The tour will start with a general introduction to the Jewish presence of the city, followed by a nice walk in the city centre passing by the site of the 1506 Jewish Massacre</span></span></span> <span><span><span>near the </span></span></span><span><span><span>Church of Sao Domingos</span></span></span><span><span><span> and the most well preserved Alfama </span></span></span><span><span><span>Jewish and medieval Quarter. Alfama </span></span></span><span><span><span>is a village within a city still made up of narrow streets, tiny squares, churches, and whitewashed houses with tile panels and wrought-iron balconies adorned with pots of flowers, drying laundry, and caged birds.</span></span></span> <br />
<br />
<span><span><span>With the abolition of the Inquisition in 1821, families of Sephardic Jews decided to return to Portugal. Most of these Jews were merchants from Morocco and Gibraltar. These were people with a cultural level greatly above average. They could read, speak and write in liturgical Hebrew, Arabic, English and Hakitia, the Moroccan judeo-hispanic dialect.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span>We will continue our tour with a visit to the only </span></span></span><span><span><span>Synagogue of Lisbon (Shaaré Tikvá), passing by the Commerce Square, the place where thousands of Jews were forced to be baptized in the 15th century. </span></span></span></p>

Lisbon: Half Day Excursion to Sintra, Cascais & Estoril
<p><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Visit the pretty and charming village of Sintra, former residence of the Portuguese Kings and aristocracy<br />
with the National Palace and continue to the fishing village of Cascais and the famous cosmopolitan town of Estoril. </font></strong></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Sintra is one of the most<br />
delightful places to be found in Portugal. With its extensive range of green<br />
bills with its crags - the Serra de Sintra - so picturesquely situated and offering<br />
stupendous views of the coastline with its impressive beauty, Sintra is indeed<br />
"a garden of the earthly paradise". The artistic heritage of the Old Town, described<br />
by Byron as "the most pleasing in Europe", also include valuable archaeological<br />
remains, particularly from the Roman period, ancient manor houses, churches<br />
of personalised artistic value and characteristic villages. </font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The National Palace is consisting<br />
of various bodies built during the course of successive epochs on the so-called<br />
"Chão da Oliva", the Paço da Vila de Sintra is one of the most important examples<br />
of regal architecture in Portugal and for that reason is classified as a National<br />
Monument. This gradual multiplication of buildings, with different styles, is<br />
largely responsible for the enigmatic enchantment of this ancient palace, dominated<br />
by great twin chimneys atop the kitchen that constitute as authentic ex-libris<br />
of Sintra.</font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Cascais was a small fishing<br />
port throughout early history as it lies protected from nature's elements at<br />
the mouth of the Rio Tejo. When in 1870 the King, Luís I, chose to convert the<br />
17th Century building of the Citadela into his summer residence Cascais soon<br />
became a very fashionable town and aristocratic palaces and mansions followed.<br />
The Citadel or Fort of Cascais is a 16th century fortress built to protect the<br />
Bay of Cascais. Today, Cascais now boasts smart new Marina with lovely yachts. </font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Just outside the town is<br />
the famous Boca do Inferno in which the sea on rougher days hammers into the<br />
rock and creates a booming noise and a spectacular spray thus creating its name<br />
which in English means "mouth of hell". </font></p>


<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Estoril town was really<br />
created from the curious needs of the two World Wars. It became a prime location<br />
for European royal exiles forced to leave their own countries. It has been the<br />
residence of King Umberto II of Italy, Juan de Bourbon of Spain, Karl Hapsburg<br />
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and King Carol of Rumania. The many modest yet<br />
architecturally interesting mansions still remain to indicate their royal owners.<br />
At its height its visitors referred to Estoril as the "Portuguese Riviera".<br />
A Casino with wide surrounding avenues and spacious gardens, a golf course,<br />
all of which soon appeared and then flanked by large hotels and impressive private<br />
homes. </font></p>
