“The trip was nice, Lara was very helpful, provided a lot of information and is very charismatic. One thing you should improve is the transportation. It wasn’t very comfortable to travel in such a small space with everybody else. I stayed in the back, the windows were black and I couldn’t really enjoy the views from the car. Other than that, all good. Again, Lara did a great job. Say hi from us”

He quickly adjusted the itinerary to ensure we still experienced the charm of Sintra, including some hidden gems we might have otherwise missed.
