Excellent Sintra, Pena Palace Tour

Excellent sightseeing experience. The length of each visit spot is fit. Admission tickets are included. No need to line up to get admission. Much more time for sightseeing and taking photos. A small group of 8 people is perfect fit. Meeting spot is in convenient location with Metro subway station close by, and also on main street luxurious brand names shops, restaurants. The driver and tour guide Antonion Castro is an exceptional who is knowledgeable and information for sightseeing spots. During his driving, he keeps chatting with us and had fun conversation. Not boring in car during long hours drive. This Pena Palace tour is highly recommend.

Great Sintra day trip from Lisbon

This tour was well worth the money. Sergio was a great guide, making history relatable and also discussing life and climate in Portugal today. The tour was well organized. I thought it was worth it to pay for the small group (max 6) excursion.
