Sintra nightmare

Have you ever been on a tour where a guest has been left behind. That happened to us today. We waited for 90 mins in the bus, cos all her gear was there and left!!! ‘Not happy Jan’

The nightmare that is Sintra, Lisbon. Too many visitors, poor guiding. Disneyland on Steroids, and Sintra was once the royal palace of Portugal until 1908 when the monarchy was overthrown!
I am not into tours or crowds and this was a shocker!! Advice - give Sintra a miss… or get a better get a local guide for just a few people. The story is interesting. First pics - the chaos, more to come!Läs mer
