We had a great day with our guide Maia and our driver Pedro! Despite the weather (our only day of rain and fog), we made the best of it and still had an amazing time exploring Sintra. Maia was such a great sport as she took us in the rain to visit and explore Peña Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, and Monserrate Palace and gave a recommendation for a great place for a quick lunch. We couldn’t of asked for a better tour! João (founder) was also a pleasure to communicate with leading up to our tour.
