Was a fun day with Adrian. He is very knowledgeable about the palace and Areas that we visited. He did a good job conversing in 2 languages for the day!

The guide was correct. I think the explanations were more than enough. At the beginning of the visit, there is a tremendous chaos, until they decide who gets on each bus. We were 4 people, they told us on one bus that we were not going to get on that bus. It was another one. Finally they made us get on that bus. But everyone had already boarded and we had to put them in the last seats, where the space is extremely uncomfortable. In addition, they allowed couples who were going together to occupy seats in different rows. In the window seat. In short, very bad organization. The experience announced the visit to Quinta da Regalería, which did not happen.

The guide Daniela is very knowledgeable and passes on all the information in a calm and relaxed manner. She is always attentive and respects everyone's particularities. She cares about everyone's well-being, whether they are children or the elderly. The tour was exceptional, the beauty of nature and the buildings, but it was the guide Daniela who made all the difference. Score 10 for this guide.

The tour was really good and we had a really good tour guide who kept the group engaged and on time. Our only complaint about the experience was that the description said we were going to visit Quinta Da Regaleira and we did not go there. Would have been a 5/5 but giving a 4 as we did not visit the Quinta and it was something we really wanted to do.

It was super convenient being chartered around to the top sights. Our guide was super friendly, and knowledgeable. The only thing that brought this from a 5 star to 4 is the confusion with the bus when we got to Pena Palace. Because our group was so large, we had to split it into two groups. The first group of 25 was able to fit on the bus, but our group of 17, was asked to walk since it would likely be another 30 minutes until the next bus. It wasn't a big deal for most of us, but there were some on the trip who struggled with the climb, and our guide didn't slow down. When we got to the top, I had to insist we wait for the other members of our group. The whole thing was a bit chaotic and unorganized. I think it would have made sense to prioritize those with mobility issues first, and ensure they had a spot on the bus first. I also think it would have been nice if our guide had told us there were no bathrooms during the 45 minute tour of Pena Palace, and provide time for us to use it beforehand.
