Great tour! - We had a fabulous tour guide ( Tiago ) who was extremely patient, providing great historical and cultural knowledge with a sense of humour. Sintra was beautiful, the views were spectacular. Would have liked more time to explore Sintra and perhaps less time driving along the coast as it was quick stops and sitting in the back of the vehicle was less than ideal in order to see any sites while on the road. The vehicle itself was new and comfortable but again seating in back does not allow for great site lines. We stopped for lunch which was worthwhile, included beer, wine, and nice meal. I would recommend the tour however probably wouldn’t do it again myself as I would spend more time exploring the town and surrounding areas now I have bearings etc. Did the Pena castle tour and it was nice but very busy. Did Quita da Regaleira which I found to be more spectacular than Peña castle.
