This was an amazing experience. Despite pouring rain, our guide Carolina made this a wonderful day. We enjoyed the Pena Palace and the Quinta de Regaliera greatly. Since I have mobility issues (really challenging in Sintra), Carolina adapted and gave us more of a local experience- a great lunch in a traditional restaurant and a port tasting with a proprietor passionate about explaining his art. For us, the best part of travel is connecting with people, and we felt like we got to see the historical beauty of Sintra with a wonderful personal connection.
