We first went to Sintra and had the pleasure of meeting Paula, our tour guide. We enjoyed the tour so much that we booked the next day with her to do the winery tour. It was absolutely amazing. Both days were filled with history, breathtaking views, beautiful castles and ocean cliffs, delicious restaurants, and great conversations. We cannot wait to come back here again and recommend either of the adventures to anyone who is interested!

This is an excellent tour to see beautiful, less travelled areas outside of Lisbon. Our host Pedro was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was truly an amazing way to spend the day and get a look beyond the typical tourist locations. Many thanks Pedro. We highly recommend this tour and especially Pedro.

We took a tour of Setubal with Paola today. First, let me state that the company went out of their way to arrange a tour that fit our needs. I am moving to Setubal and wanted to learn more about area outside my neighborhood. I thought this tour could help and boy oh boy did it. Paola met us at our door in Setubal and proceeded to show us a wonderful time. Our first stop was at the Fonseca Winery. Azeitao is beautiful. It's a quaint peaceful town full of a quiet gentle European beauty. From there we went to the tile company. The artists were welcoming and knowledgeable. Then we went to lunch on a very beautiful beach that was not crowded and seemed to be almost untouched by tourists. As a future local, it was a great find!! Following lunch, we went to an abandoned military base that provided us with magnificent views of the ocean. Lastly, we went to a fortress. I can't recall the name, but it's at the top of the mountain...I know that doesn't help. Paola was an amazing guide. She was personable, friendly, and made us feel comfortable immediately. I highly recommend this company and Paola.

We had a great time learning the history of the vineyard and loved the wine tasting at the end. The surprise hit was the tile factory. We got to see how tiles were made (by hand and not an automated machine). We also got to make your own and have them shipped to our home. Our tour guide Maria Madalena was amazing. She is very passionate about her job and also helped with taking photos and videos of memorable moments.
