Classic Private Pena Palace and Sintra
First and foremost you will have a fluent speaking tour guide. Secondly, what this tour offers comparatively to other tours is the full Pena Palace visit. Unlike, other tours where you just visit the main palace, you will get to visit the Chalet of the Countess, explore some of the most beautiful areas in the Pena Park, such as the chalet area, the Queen´s throne, the Queen´s fern valley and if you are up for it, we can even visit the highest point in Sintra, the high cross, which is inside the grounds. As the tour is just in Sintra you will be able to explore the town without rushing, exploring some of the coast, eat delicious food at a nice restaurant of your choice, try local pastries and finish off the day at the most western point of mainland Europe, Cabo da Roca. During the winter it may even be possible to watch the sunset from here!
