The tour was very well organised. Convenient pick-up and drop-off directly at the accommodation though it was out of the listed pickup areas. Our tour guide Joan drove us to the listed attractions, explained the background/history, recommended places to go for local specialty. We could skip the long queue and had a smooth visit into the Pena Castle, and kept the journey on time.
