“What a let down. I booked this experience a few months in advance and was really looking forward to the day spent with my mother. Although our tour guide was nice and accommodating it was a national holiday and the wineries were closed and we didn't get to see several things on this tour. If I would have been informed of this I would have changed my dates or not booked at all. However the tour operator never informed us of this. We were told by our guide. We did not get to see Sintra, a UNESCO world heritage site, Castelo dos Mouros, or Park and National Palace of Pena.…”
