Individual Tour Guide - Sofia provided us with insider knowledge at Pena Palace. She captured family photos for us and was very sweet with our 7 year old son. She is very accommodating and brings lots of energy to what she does. With all the tourists in Sintra, her experience was invaluable so that we could enjoy our day.
