Great full day tour with Jose - Jose picked us up from our hotel promptly for a full day private tour to see the main sights outside Lisbon. His knowledge of local history is phenomenal! We did the tour in reverse as the weather was supposed to improve in the afternoon when we got to Pena. Jose also included a wine tasting which was not part of the original itinerary but we really enjoyed this, bought some wine to take home and even got to meet the wine maker! Lunch was in Sintra, 3 courses with a glass of wine which was very tasty. We had plenty of time to see Sintra and Pena Palace and the Casa de Roca which was really busy. Jose was a great guide and we would highly recommend his tours!
