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.

Buying tickets ahead of time was the best thing we could've done! We skipped the queue for tickets and headed straight into the castle, which was excellent.
The castle itself was amazing, we had so much fun. Between the views and the peacocks we had a great time. I would suggest that everyone visits the castle if they're in Lisbon. We spent around 1hr 30 here and had a good look around and explored.

The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable with information on the castle including the surrounding regional history, which incorporated the earthquake and tsunami. She adapted her talk to our group and answered all questions we had. Most helpful was her re-scheduling our time slot as we were running late. Have already recommended it to friends who have asked about my trip.
