“Excellent outing to Pena Palace and the other places on the tour. The amount of time spent in Sintra was enough to have lunch at the recommended sit-down restaurant but didn't leave enough extra time to explore the town - which turned out to be OK b/c the town was overflowing with tourists and was itself overly touristy. Really enjoyed the stop-over at the wine tasting and at Cabo de Roca to see the ocean and experience the WIND. The final stop in Cascais could have been shorter (to make for a less-long day) or skipped altogether - others may have enjoyed the town but we are not beach people…”
