This tour was amazing. Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We felt like royalty getting to broad lines and go to parts of the castle that others are not allowed to enter. Highly recommend! If you want to see the grounds plan to be there for 3-4 hours. Also try to get the first tour of the day.

We LOVED the private tour we had in the Pena Palace. It's the only way to see it. We saw so many places and did NOT deal with any crowds. The doors were closed and it was us and the guide.

Francisco our guide was so fun and so incredibly knowledgeable he mande the tour so much fun. His stories were so relatable and he explained things with such passion we felt like we were hearing a story of life not just history facts. Definitely get a private guide it makes things so much more enjoyable and relaxing

Our guide was great. I wish that I hadn't forgotten her name. She was easy to hear and understand. The group was a good size, not overly crowded.
