Pickup and drop-off in Cascais are included at no extra cost. If you are coming from Lisbon, the easiest options are taking the train to Cascais (a scenic coastal route) or an Uber to Carcavelos, where we can meet and start the adventure. If you prefer a private pickup directly from Lisbon, I can arrange this service for an additional €80. Just let me know in advance and I’ll take care of the logistics.
