Day Trips from Sintra

We had a great day. It was busy and rainy, but thats nothing anybody can controll. We saw a lot in a short time. It was really nice to not stand in Line and pass by any. I Guide Mario knows a lot and took good care of the group.

we were somewhat disppointed because the cstle Pena and the Quinta de Regaleiro was not open for reasons of security (danger fires). But we got acceptable substitues with the Queluz Palace and the National Palace of Sintra. The timing was correct, the guides ere very gentle, the busses confortable and no annoying waiting qeues. After all we got value for the price.

We liked everything, in Fatima the sanctuary is very nice, it is very organized, a big church with a big square. The stories and the stories of Thomas about Portugal and the places where we went very interesting, we learned a lot. Nazare expectacular, wonderful views of the landscape, very good gastronomy. And finally Sintra with the visit to the palace of sorrow, guided by Thomas very cool.

Our tour was Fatima-Nazare-Sintra and it was an amazing experience, we had a guided tour with Daniel Troncao he was amazing on explaining the history of each and every place we been.

We had a most enjoyable day out with our driver/guide Mauro . He was most informative with the history of Portugal. The visit to the bakery where the little tarts are made was so interesting. We had a wonderful lunch somewhere near Sintra at a very reasonable price. The portions were very generous, and the food really tastie. The icing on the cake so to speak was our visit to Sintra and the palace. It was a very warm afternoon, with beautiful blue skies, which set the building off . Amazing views all over Lisbon and the coast. It was a long day, but full of fun and beautiful views. Would recommend this trip as it was really good value. Mauro dropped us very near to our hotel which was a big help. Many thanks.

We had a lovely day with Sofia. She was full of information & knowledge about Portugal. I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I loved seeing the Pena Palace. It is amazing. Plus the other sites. Suzanne
