“Its very important to be on time to start from Porto (Fado museum). On first stop we enter the Pena palace before the hundreds of other tourist and took good photos (have a small jaket, its chill there in the morning). Comfi Mersedes mini vian up to 8 people. The tour gide Myeva was great, young and entusiatic at what she do. Recomendation- spend less free time in Sintra city and Westen point for pictures, leave more time for Cascais city (feal like in Nice), much more to do, have your swimsuites for the beach, plenty restaurants and nice shoping (2 ours gone in an air)😀. Good tour👍Read more”

“Loved the visit but even with tickets we still had to wait in line to get in. Many people in line were for the wrong time which added to the length of time it took to enter. We have used skip the line in many other places but never had to line up before.”
