We had s fantastic day with Mr Rui Cesar. He is passionate about his cultural tour and we learned so much. We met Cesar at the entrance to the zoo. He sent us a text on arrival which we missed but he found us anyway moments later. We were lucky to be the only two on the tour and appreciated his fluent English. Cesar speaks 4 languages and I am sure he does an amazing job in all. Pena Palace , SIntra was amazing . Our day started early at the zoo 8:30 am but we understand why . The queue at Pena palace was enormous when we came out but we were in the front of the line at opening. Cesar helped us to purchase the online ticket on the phone as the website was in Portuguese.Download the tickets in Lisbon - no internet at the palace. We then had a lovely morning tea and wander around the streets and then onto Carbo Roca , had lunch at a seaside restaurant - delicious. It was 85 Euros with wine for the 2 of us. Cascais was lovely for a wander and then back to the drop off point at the zoo. We were very happy with the whole experience .Thanks Cesar .
