The excursion from Lisbon to Sintra and Cascais was the best day of our vacation in Portugal! Our tour guide Catarina Palma knows so much about the history of Portugal and she had great recommendations for restaurants in Sintra and Cascais. She was also funny and made our day extra special! Sintra and Cascais are both gorgeous. Not to be missed when you go to Lisbon.

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.

Back to the Pena bus via the forest. Restaurant suggestion was a buffet formula which was a very good idea and we were well received. The stop at the westernmost point Cabo da roca was a good one. The stop at Cascais was less relevant. We would have preferred more time at other points.

    Wow what can I say about our guide Nelson who was very interesting and friendly. His French was impeccable and he passed on his subject (history) in a thoughtful way. He's passionate about what he does and it shows.

    The guide (Macarena) was very good. Right proportion between free and guided time. Too bad we didn't stop in Cascais, which was only seen from the bus.
