Excellent day at Sintra and Pena - Wonderful day out at Sintra and Pena Palace with bonus of a visit to Cascais. Guide was very informative and sparked a lot of interest in Portugual’s history. Great intro trip. Unfortunately not enough time to explore the gardens but will await my next trip hopefully during spring months to see it in bloom. Mobility note, the trek to Pena Palace and a bit around Sintra Center is quite hilly. (It’s Lisbon) there is a shuttle for 3💶 that will take you most of the way up. After 3 days of tours I took the respite for my calves. Meet up with the tour operator was easy and organized. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Highly Recommended!!! - So glad I joined this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about Portugal’s history and helped us understand what we were seeing. The views at Cabo da Roca and National Palace of Pena were amazing. The travesseiro at Piriquita is a must try! The seafood and Santini gelato at Cascais were great too!
