Beautiful Sintra Palace and Cascais - Our little group of 8 people, had Laura as the guide. Love the fact that it was a small group in a comfortable van. Laura was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun. She is very upbeat and helpful. She took us to Sintra Palace, town and then a beautiful beach in our way to Cascais, just for a few minutes to experience the view and take a few pictures. Unfortunately the day was cloudy, but got sunny and better when we arrived in Cascais. Sintra Palace was very crowded. If you want to go to the inside of the Palace, you need to go on your own. Two hours is not enough time to walk to the Palace (everything is on a hill in Portugal ) make the line to go inside and then follow that long, very slow line thru the inside of Palace, visit the Gardens which is the area outside the Palace and get back to the van. Very hard to do in 2 hours. I chose to walk and take pictures of the outside of the Palace (the Gardens) Laura will send you a link on your cell phone to get the ticket to get inside the Palace, it is included in the tour if you purchase it. It might be less crowded in winter? Who knows . In Cascais, we had about 2 1/2 hours to walk the town and have lunch. Lots of restaurants and stores. Very nice ambiance. You can make better use of these 2 1/2 hours here. Over all it us a very nice tour with a very nice guide.
