Lovely day trip from Lisbon - The lovely drive from Cascais to the final destination to Pena Palace was indeed memorable. The scenery was breathtaking as we traveled from site to site. Cape Roca was also something that was a highlight.

Waste of time - The guides were not informative nor engaging. The food/restaurant recommendations by the tour guides were. They didn’t explain where we were, no history or background information were given. They took us to places, told us where we were and we were left on our own

Disappointing and not as described. - Do not recommend this tour. I booked this tour specifically because it included a guided tour of Pena Palace. It did not include a guided tour of the castle. They changed the rules at Pena palace recently and if you are in a guide of more than 8, you do not get a guide to accompany you to explain what you are seeing in the castle. Then it didn't include an audio guide, so you had no idea what you were looking at in the castle. Absolutely ridiculous. I would not recommend this tour for those reasons. Check out Native Lisbon tours instead and ask for Andre Feldman. We saw him giving a tour and were jealous we were not on it he was so fanatastic. Would recommend their tour over this one for comprable price. It was highly overpriced since it did not include the guided tour of Pena palace.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - Bait and switch. Terrible UNFRIENDLY tour guide.
1) This tour was terrible because the first stop was a beach town at 9 AM for ice cream where most businesses were closed. This was opposite of this published schedule. I asked myself, why are we even here?
2) The tour guide, Leonor was more interested in chatting with the bus driver rather than engaging with a tourists on the bus. She seemed almost irritated that someone could “bother” her with a question. I’ve been on TripAdvisor tours in other countries, which have been fantastic. This tour doesn’t measure up.
3) This tour consist of mostly pick ups and drop offs. With the exception of the palace tickets, this is something you could achieve with an Uber.
4) This tour is mostly UNGUIDED – NOT AS ADVERTISED: here’s what they wrote: “Our guide shall accompany you along the way, sharing stories and curiosities about the visited and seeing places.” THIS IS NOT THE CASE except for drop offs and pick ups.
With the exception of the palace tickets, this tour was a waste of money and a terrible experience.

Do NOT book this tour. - I would NOT recommend this tour. It's "BAIT AND SWITCH."
1) They switched the schedule. First stop (Cascais) was supposed to be the LAST afternoon stop. As a result, we were dropped off at 9:00 AM for ice cream in a beach town where most business were closed. I asked myself, "why are we even here?"
2) The tour guide, Leonor F. was more interested in chatting with the bus driver as we passed beautiful sites. She gave us minimal info as we entered town. She made almost LITTLE / NO EFFORT to engage with the tourists on the bus. Leonor seem irritated that a tourist would bother her with questions. I've been on other tours in other countries, and she was the absolute worse!
3) The entire "tour" consisted of Leonor doing mostly drop-off and pick-up. She was a terrible tour guide and did not "accompany anyone along the (entire) way, sharing stories and curiosities about the visited (and seen) places."
I would NOT book a tour with this company again. Low quality tour guide and bait and switch schedule. I might as well have taken an Uber. Except for the included palace tickets, this was a waste of money.
