This tour was a mixed bag. Our guide, Tomas, was knowledgeable, courteous, and fun to travel with. The tour gets you to Peña Palace early which is good. Tomas guided us through the grounds and did an excellent job of explaining the history of this wonderful site. Upon leaving the palace you go to Sintra. There you are encouraged to try the local pastry which entails standing in line for most of your visit. When you leave Sintra you head to lunch! The food was excellent, but you have eaten breakfast, pastry, and now lunch before 1:00pm. Now you head to land’s end before heading to Cascais where you are encouraged to try the ice cream. I’m certain many people will enjoy this tour, but it seems the tour wasted a very knowledgeable guide, beautiful countryside, and perfect weather on a food tour.
