Mafra World Heritage and Ericeira Private Tour 

Your private full tour will begin with a pick up from your Lisbon hotel or cruise port. The objective of the day will be to show you Mafra, with it's 1200 room 18th century national palace and it's surrounding park, also classified as a national monument and World Heritage by Unesco, and Ericeira, a beautifully preserved fishing village home to some of Portugal's best waves. As this is a private tour, you will have the freedom to rearrange your tour how you see fit. Below is the standard itinerary for a full-day tour (the half-day tour will necessarily focus more in the Palace and will have fewer details and locations):

After your pick up we will proceed directly to Mafra, where we will arrive after a 45min drive. Our first stop will be at the center of Mafra, where we can visit the Palace and Basilica (approximately 1.30h for the whole visit). After that and depending on the time of the year and program availability, we will proceed to the Tapada, a park on the back of the palace that served as hunting grounds for the King and Royal family, or we will proceed directly to Ericeira.

After the visit to the tapada, we will proceed to Ericeira where we can lunch on one of the many typical fish and seafood restaurants of the area, but not before passing by a small model village made by a local ceramist, which represents a typical village of the beginning of the XX century in Portugal. Ericeira is also of the best Portuguese surfing spots, so upon arrival and depending on the season we may see some surfers and some nice waves. After lunch and visiting the beaches we will drive back to return to the hotel approximately by 17.30
