We had a fantastic time. We got to see so much and Benny was so knowledgeable about the history of Portugal. We were 2 people and there was only another 2 in the van. So it was a great small group. I would highly recommend this tour!

Improve nothing. Ben is a delight. Knowledgeable and informative. Not only does he know the sites but he explains the history of each one. He offers this information with the enthusiasm of college professor. Also he went over Portuguese culture and interesting facts about ancient and recent history. His interpretative talk is one of best we have had chance to enjoy. Thank you Ben for a delightful day.

I feel it's not worth it as traveling was more and unnecessary stay of more than 1hr at castle and it shld have included ticket price in our tour and guide shld have explained everything inside and more time should have been for Sagres beaches I think more places shld be covered in beaches
