The driver was wonderful (5 stars)
but:
1) this should NOT be advertised as a tour highlighting PENA Palace. You get nowhere near it. Barely got a photo through trees from half mile away a long way up the hill. You do not get to tour the grounds outside the palace on this tour. You do get to take a photo of a pond through an iron gate. Wow! The photo shown by Viator is not what you get. Very deceptive advertising.
2) Sintra was nice but a bit over-rated.
Don’t go in summer, you may never get there. If you like crowds, go there.
3) I would recommend the tour that includes Sintra and Monserrat Palace and gardens. It was wonderful.
4) Pena Palace requires ticket reservations (not included in this tour) and takes several hours. Don’t plan to spend time in Sintra afterwards. You will be exhausted.
