Let’s uncover its secrets!

The itinerary and schedule were followed to the letter. The guide, the driver, and the organizers were all really great. That said, personally, I’d add more time at Cabo da Roca so I could grab a coffee, use the restroom, and enjoy the views... Everything was fantastic!

Pedro was our guide and he was terrific. We had trouble with traffic and he kept us informed throughout. Phillip was our bus driver and he was great also. So glad we went on the tour and didn't try and do this journey on our own.

There were no lines at the first entrance, but then there were only lines at the Pena Palace, which made the visit unpleasant, despite the monument’s beauty.

A great stay, great attractions. The place is beautiful. However, you need to remember to arrange your transportation, or you'll have to do a little trekking from town. I recommend it!
