This was a lovely relaxing half day with breathtakingly beautiful views. It was a nice break from old monuments and buildings to beautiful, natural landscapes. Jose was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, charming, and funny. He pointed out several additional points of interest and gave us the experience from a local perspective rather than a tourist’s. We had a great day!
Our tour guide, Jose Ribeiro, was the absolute best! He was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out additional attractions that were not on the itinerary. The tour gave us a unique opportunity to experience the area from the perspective of a local not a tourist. To top it off, Jose was very friendly, charming, and funny. The viewpoints were breathtakingly beautiful - I now intend to return to explore some of the places in depth. I truly enjoyed this tour!
This was our favorite day trip in Portugal. The countryside/coast was beautiful and our tour guide was wonderful
We had a wonderful time with Jose on our half day tour to Arrabida. Jose was knowledgeable, entertaining, and curated a perfect day of seeing beautiful vistas and points of interest in Arrabida, Sesimbra, and the surrounding areas. On the way back to Lisbon, he took us to visit a local beach town where we were able to relax and have a quick snack and glass of wine overlooking the ocean. We never felt rushed and he was a wealth of knowledge on Portuguese history, culture, and geography. I would recommend a tour with Lisbon on Wheels to anyone looking to see the beautiful coastline with an energetic guide who loves what he does! Obrigada for a GREAT experience!
Jose was a fantastic tour guide! He took us places that cannot be seen on an average tour, nor with the average tour guide. We went to beautiful, hidden beaches, experienced paragliders soaring just above us, had freshly-made pastry and muscato with the locals, saw gorgeous monuments with views of all of Lisbon. Truly an extraordinary tour with a very giving guide. We highly recommend Jose.
If you want some fantastic views outside of Lisbon , the mountains and beautiful beaches, this is for you. José was interesting and very knowledgeable. The 5 hour tour flew by.
We were a large family group including over 60s and a 5 month old. Jose tailored an amazing half day adventure that took our all interests and abilities into account. Time at an amazing beach, visiting a castle, saw so e beautiful seaside towns and even saw some dinosaur footprints! Highly recommend this tour.
A fantastic experience- Miguel was very knowledgeable and took care curating a wonderful itinerary for us based around our interests, whilst also keeping the drive fun with some great music! Creiro beach is a must-see and we also had a great time seeing Sesimbra and cabo espichel. Well worth the time and money!
We were picked up at our hotel our by our guide Jose’. He was amazing and made this tour the best ever. He catered to all of our wims and showed us all over . We ate, drank, laughed a lot, and had a wonderful day. Jose’ was very Knowledgeable about the area. This was a very relaxing fun day.
On the day of our departure we had half day free so we were wondering what to do. We were lucky enough to come across this tour offered by Lisbononwheels. The tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly! The van was comfortable, with A/C and onboard Wi-fi, and there were bottles of water free of charge, in case that we got thirsty. The guide took us to see breathtaking spots in Arrabida, and to our minds Praia da Lagoa de Albufeira-Mar was the most impressive beach we haven seen so far in Portugal! We took our time at each spot and could enjoy a hassle-free morning. It was the best way to say goodbye to Lisbon. This is a tour I would recommend to anyone who wants to explore hidden parts of Lisbon and enjoy wonderful views! For couples, it is a must in Lisbon!
