Itinerary
he Sanctuary of Our Lady of Cape Espichel, also known as Nossa Senhora da Pedra Mua, is one of the most impressive sites in this region for its location and its remarkable natural architectural complex. Its worship dates back to 1410, when the venerated image of Our Lady of the Cape was discovered at the tip of Cape Espichel by two old men from Caparica and Alcabideche, who were given signs from Heaven in coinciding dreams. Until the start of the 18th century, the grounds around the primitive temple were encased by houses for the pilgrims who travelled there in pilgrimage to venerate the image.
Sesimbra is one of the finest beach resorts in Portugal. The town is adored by the Portuguese who flock to the region for their holidays, drawn by the pristine coastline, social atmosphere and freshly cooked seafood. Aside from the beautiful beaches and delicious food, there is a lot to do within the Sesimbra region. There are hiking/cycling trails through the Serra da Arrabida, surfing on the Costa da Caparica, kayak or boat tours along the dramatic coastline and some of the best diving in Portugal. As for day trips, there is the Cabo Espichel headland, the busy port of Setubal or the paradise beaches of the Tróia Peninsula. These varied tourist attractions and activities also make Sesimbra an enjoyable day trip from Lisbon, which is only 45 minutes away by bus.

Miguel was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and showed us amazing sights. The tour was very well thought out and a lot of fun
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re thrilled to know you enjoyed the tour and had a great time. Your feedback truly means a lot to our team. We hope to see you again on your next visit!
I cannot rate this tour company high enough!! Choose them for all you Portugal tours. We did a tour of Sintra with them and loved it so much that we booked another tour. We went to Arrabida with Sonia and it was like a fairytale! We saw Sesimbra, a scenic coastal town, then we went to Arrabida Natural Park and enjoyed breathtaking views of the coastline and ocean. We then had lunch in a little cove on the ocean that was straight out of a movie or a dream. Our table was right on the water’s edge. Good and wine were perfection. After this we tasted some local wines and had a tour of an I credible palace and the tasted wine. Sonia not only showed us special places, but taught us incredible history to make sense of what we were seeing. This company is the star of touring in Portugal!
Our tour guide was fantastic. He catered the day based on what we wanted to do, giving us options to choose from and making some detours based on what we said we were interested in. He didn't rush us at all at any of the stops, telling us that this was our vacation, and we should make sure to take time to enjoy it! His excitement was infectious and he had lots of great information to share with us about the region, that really enhanced the trip. We had a great day and would highly recommend this tour!
I am a travel agent. I had been looking for a tour company that would accommodate a large group. Finally, I located I Go Portugal and Pedro, the owner and I was emailing back and forth. His responded immediately to my emails Words can not explain the service we received. June 18, 10 of us did the wine tasting. Our drivers on this day was Sonia and Miguel. June 19 12 of us did the Lisbon Tasting. It was absolutely amazing. O n this day we had Pedro, the owner and Miguel. Pedro had to leave us but, we met the other colleague, Pedro. Our last day was Sintra on today. The service was excellent, professional. I highly recommend IGo Portugal for your tour service in Portugal. On all three days we received the red carpet service Call them or email them. Thank you Pedro, Sonia, Miguel, Pedro
Thank you very much for your kind words, its very important for us that you have enjoyed your day out with us. Hope to see you again in Portugal soon please feel welcome to visit us again in the future. Whishing you all the best Pedro
Had an amazing experience. Got to experience paradise just 40 minutes away from Lisbon. We were short on time so our guide Sonia made sure everything was ready for us and ran smoothly plus accommodated all our needs. Besides being super friendly her professionalism and attention to detail to make sure everything was perfect were over the top! It was my first time doing a wine tasting and I feel like the experience was genuinely traditional Portuguese. We got to enjoy the beautiful weather and the crystal clear water on our weekend trip. Thank you so much hopefully we’ll be back soon ☺️☺️
Thank you very much for your kind words, its very important for us that you enjoyed your day out with us. Hope to see you again in Portugal soon big hug from Lisbon. Pedro
A fabulous day in a place with beautiful and wonderful landscapes, good wine and good company with our guide Miguel. On this day we visit sites with history such as the Castle of Palmela and the Convent of Our Lady of Cape. We walked through the beaches of Sesimbra and Portinho da Arrábida, had lunch with the typical setúbal fried choco and also had two wine tasting at José Maria da Fonseca and Bacalhoa, where we drank some too good wines and learned how the wines are produced. All this in the company of our guide Miguel who made our day fun and absolutely unique. If you want some landscapes not far from Lisbon and excellent wine take this Enterprise I GO and order for Miguel.
Dear friends Thank you very much for your words they mean the world to us is with your feedbacks that we keep improving on showing our Portugal with the greatest pleasure remember you are most welcome here in our team whenever you visit us again Wishing you all the best Pedro A
We loved this tour! Miguel was our guide and he was such a delight, very knowledgeable and fun. We visited some beautiful sights, ate a great local lunch, and had a wonderful time visiting/tasting wines at 2 wineries. A full day that was enjoyable from start to finish. Miguel is very engaging, easy-going, and personable and we feel like we made a new friend in Portugal. We also booked another tour with I Go Portugal (with Pedro) the next day, and it was wonderful too! We would highly recommend "I Go Portugal" for any tours. They are flexible, fun, and happy to share their beautiful country with visitors while making you feel so very welcomed. Thank you!

Everybody should do this tour!! We had a special day with Sonia. The Arrabida parc is simply amazing. So much great sightseeing. We loved this tour and we could customized with wine tasting or cheese tasting or something else. We had chosen the wine tasting. An interesting discovery of Moscatel wines of José Maria da Fonseca. What's great with I Go Portugal is that they are there for your needs. It's your trip and they want you to have the best experience possible while discovering their magnifique country! Thank you Sonia, See you soon !!!
Fantastic trip with Sonia and Pedro!!! We got so much more than we expected. The whole trip felt very exclusive, we were pretty much the only tourists at every destination!! No crowds at all, as a person who been around the world i can say you don't get this anywhere . We've seen an old castle and town of Sesimbra with great views, amazing Arrabida with lunch in tiny little hidden Beach village called Portico and the best vineyard i ever visited and so much more. If you are looking to step off the bitten path and see real Portugal Sonia and Pedro is your peeps! Hands down best day trip we ever had!
I took this tour with Sonia on 27 Nov 2021, and it was spectacular! It was like having an insider's view not only into the sites we went to, but also to the history. She was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, it was as though I was hanging out with a close friend. Sonia ensured that I saw and learned about not just the big stuff, but also the little stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and "hanging out" for the day with Sonia. I would highly recommend I GO PORTUGAL, this tour, and Sonia as a guide to ANYONE! Worth the time and money!
