Everything went well at Quinta da Regaleira. I received the audio guide via the app and everything went well Regarding the Pena Palace, I bought the most expensive combo, which included the audio guide and transportation. I didn't receive the audio guide via the app or by email. I thought I would receive it on site, but that didn't happen either. In other words, I paid a lot more for a service I didn't receive. I would also suggest changing the description of the combo. The way it was written, I understood that I was buying a ticket that would include transportation from Quinta da Regaleira to Pena Palace, but that's not the case. I went back to the description and it said Park - Palace transportation. I understand that I've misinterpreted it, but I suggest making it clearer. It's difficult for those who don't know to understand exactly what this transportation is (it's from the gate where the Pena Palace is located to the entrance of the Palace). If you don't take the shuttle, you have to climb a steep path that takes half an hour).

The site is amazing and the introduction given by the host is enough to give you an idea of what you are going to see. Highly recommended!

The attraction was very good. I think the "skip the line" feature was not understood by the staff at the Quinta da Regaliera. THere was no option at the site to take advantage of the skip the line. Buying the tickets and using them was great, just the actual staff at the site did not allow us to skip the line.

Both palaces and parks were beautiful and there was lots to see, even on a foggy day! Only thing that would have helped was clearer signage where the lines for Quinta da Regaleira gather.
