Amazing!! - We really were in the Pena Palace before a single person was even there. It was absolutely incredible! Anatasia was our guide and she did an amazing job describing everything! I went solo and the other girls on the trip were so nice and made it a great day. Highly recommend this tour!

Absolutely memorable tour! The Borja, our tourist guide, simply INEXCEDIBLE. - A huge advantage is the possibility of being able to visit the Palacio da Pena before the time of the greatest influx of tourism. Note ten!
