Not worth a full day

Tito was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. There was too much time at the stops without much to do.

Don’t Miss

Excellent tour. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke very good English. Reasonably agressive walk up to Peña Palace for 70+ year old group but guide took it slow and everyone made it. Town of Cascais was very beautiful. All six of us were very happy.

Fascinating day

The morning pick up was chaotic and started a bit late.

Tough fog

This was a good tour that was hampered by circumstances outside the control of the tour operator. All those pictures of Peña Palace with clear, blue skies seem to be rare. We experienced thick, drenching fog that brought visibility down to about 50 feet. Therefore you are really unable to see the magnificence of this castle. Once inside things were GREAT. But outside, it was like roaming around in a horror film with thick, thick fog everywhere. The tour guide did a fine job though.

Great trip / great guide

Exactly as advertised. Prompt and easy pickup. Guide was Benny Ribeiro. He was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and precise. He explained the trip in the morning with approximate times and it all worked out on schedule. Sintra and the castles were great. The well was more impressive in person. Then wonderful town of Cascais for lunch to end out the trip. Small group of 7 people in a nice van. I recommend this trip and ask for Benny!!
