It's worth the every penny and the time goes by fast so you dont feel the 12 hours. Take a tote or knapsack for your purchases and some cash in case you need to take a tuk tuk back to the meeting point in Lisbon. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide, Anna, was great. The driver did a good job and drove safely. Loved Lisbon wished we had spent one more day.
A long journey but nicely broken up with a couple of coffee stops. Comfortable coach, safe driver and a super guide. Anna was knowledgeable, helpful and fun. We learned a lot about Portugal and the regions we traveled through. Lisbon is huge, so we focused our day on the old town. Really lovely. Thanks for the great day.
After 3rd visit to Algarve we decided to explore. I had considered booking a train to Lisbon but decided on a tour as I had never been to the city and thought a tour would be safer and I would take more in. It actually turned out less with the tour than train tickets and taxis to the station. We met at the dolphin roundabout at 6.50am and our coach was a luxury Mercedes with on board toilet, aircon and very soft comfy seats. We were met by a very lovely host , Anna who spoke English and German like a local. Added bonus we stopped off after 90 mins at one of the cleanest service stations that I have seen (done the same on the way back). First stop after travelling over an amazing bridge (identical to Golden Gate Bridge) was the marina area. We had 80 mins to visit the monastery (you need to book your tickets before you travel) or the chapel beside it (free). After we had a 60 min tour of the city, we stopped at a posh part with excellent shopping and cafes. We had over 3 hrs to explore and I felt very safe to walk about and just sit outside a cafe watching the world go by. If like me you want to break up your beach days for something different it is worth booking
