We enjoyed another great travel experience from KimKim. The hotels were great. The Jardim da Batalha breakfast buffet was exceptional. I think my favorite event was the hands on cooking class. It was so fun learning about and preparing a Portuguese meal. Being able to work alongside Rebekah was special.

The tours of the Enchanting Palaces did not go as smoothly as expected. The trip details show an 8:15 pickup. Our guide said we should have been downstairs at 8. We were then late to our ticketed arrival time at Pena palace. Fortunately we were still able to join our small group. We were very surprised at the number of people, especially in off season. I was also surprised with the amount of uphill walking. Had I understood, I could have requested an earlier pickup time to accommodate my slower pace.

Pena palace and Quinta da Regaleira were amazing. Unfortunately, we were unable to see Monserrate Palace. Crowd sizes and slow lunch service did not help.

We had a wonderful time. The planned activities were just what we requested. Both off us agreed we would gladly go back to Portugal.
