“Overall my entire family had fun during the tour. But to warn you it’s a great deal of walking up an elevation. Lukas and Rodrigo are awesome tour guides. Very personal and entertaining. We started off rocky since entrance to Sintra was blocked but they were persistent in getting us in. It’s a lot of go, go, go so if you want plenty of time you might want to break up the tours into days. Otherwise our group, which included others had a great time. We all had plenty to converse so that made it more enjoyable. Lunch stop was great and Lukas/Rodrigo can take awesome pictures. You won’t be…”
