The tour overall was quite good, but I would've liked more time to explore Pena Palace and Cascais. Cascais is a beautiful town and 40 minutes isn't enough. The tour starts in Cascais (40 minutes) then proceeds to Boca de Inferno (15 minutes or so) then Cabo de Roca (20 minutes or so) before going to Sintra for lunch. There's around 90 minutes for lunch before the tour of Pena Palace which in total was around 2 hours. The tour guide was knowledgable and enthusiastic, the driver was also very friendly so no fault of theirs, but just a little more time to explore Pena and Cascais would've been awesome. I also recommend making the size of the groups smaller, 20+ is too many for places like Pena Palace.

Die Reise war super, ich hatte Problem mit der Zeitplan. Auf der Cabo da Roca haben wir zu wenig Zeit bekommen (25 Minuten) es hätte viel mehr wert gehabt und in Sintra haben wir zu viel Zeit verschwendet. Auf der andere Seite Sintra war bisschen enttäuschend wegen der Touristenmenge aber das ist leider immer so bei Welterbesehenswürdigkeiten...Ansonsten Reise ist wert, unsere Reiseführerin Alina hat sehr viel Mühe gegeben. Das grosse Reisebus war bequem und sauber, unsere Reiseorte Cascais, Boca da Inferno, Cabo da Roca, Sintra sehr interessant und unvergesslich, was wir da gesehen haben.

It is called full day but it takes only about 10 hours, compared to other 12 hours tours. So for making the best of it don't take the lunch offer if you want to VISIT SINTRA not only Pena palace. The food offered in Tivoly is good and cheap but it is served in more than 1 hour so you are left only with 45 minutes to visit! We had a great lady guiding us, but she was obliged to speak same data in 5 languages as we were a heterogeneous group and the organizers didn't provide more guides for economy reasons.
