Amazing time spent with this tour guide. He knows everything about his country and very fun to spend the day with. We went off the beaten path to places only he knows and that’s exactly what we were looking for.
Thanks for choosing our services! It was a pleasure for us to realized this service with total devotion and rigorous knowledge! Our team try to provide the best quality in all our experiences! Thanks again for your contribution!
wonderful experience, little seaside town vibe, Sesimbra. wine testing/tour Bacalhôa/Jose Maria da Fonseca, Azaitao Breathtaking views from Arrabida Orlando, NewYork
This Tours was one of the best we did on our gay tour Andre was very kind to us and knows the area perfectly, so he took us to a natural place called Porthino de Arrabida which is very beautiful and I recommend visiting, in addition to visiting Both wineries were very good and the porcelain factory was very interesting. We recommend 100% to do this tour.
Thank you so much for you booked this great excursion with us! Was a pleasure to show you this amazing area and our culture of wines, tiles factory, gastronomy and breathtaking views. Thanks for your contribution!
Taking a private tour allowed us to have flexibility and personalization. We were able to see parts of the coast line that me may not have been able to enjoy had Nadia not been our gifted guide exclusively. We enjoyed both the wineries we visited and loved how one was very old and the other more commercial. It was interesting to see the art that was part of the experience at the latter. Nadia was so very instrumental in our enjoyment of the experience. She is a true local who understood her country and culture. She made the day all the better by using her knowledge and understanding of the areas we visited. Her friendly and engaging personality was obviously appreciated by the locals in the places we visited and she made us feel very welcome.
Thanks for your great review and recognized how complete it is this tour. We try always to satisfy the needs of our costumers and offer an unforgeatable experience. Thanks again by your great review!
Great day with Andre - friendly, knowledgeable guide with a full day planned. With only a quick trip to Lisbon, this allowed us to get out to see the surrounding area and hit highlights like the Setubal Market and the gorgeous wineries in a single day. Lunch was laid-back and fresh and delicious, just as a seaside lunch should be. The day made us want to stay longer and explore - next time!
Thanks so much for your contribuition and opinion! Was a pleasure for me to show you two diferent winneries and share all my knowledge about my country and this lovely and rich area. Thanks again for you took this super complete tour with us. Best Regards
It was a great day between friends! We loved the visits to the wines, the tour of Arrábida and the fantastic grilled fish we ate lunch in Sesimbra! João was always helpful and very fun throughout the tour! For those who appreciate wines and nature this is the ideal tour! Thank you for the good day and to the next!
Guide dropped us off for lunch for 1 hour 45 minutes. We were done in 45 minutes, and had to wander around with nothing to do. It COULD be worth it if you ASSERT yourself, as to what to do. Vineyard visit was interesting, fish market was, too, but overall not worth a day of our time.
Hi, Mr. James. We are very sorry for you had qualified our service like not recommended. The point of our tours is passing a day trip without rush and be a little bit out of crowdie touristic places. Normally, we give to our clients 1,5-2 hours (depends also on wine tastings which should be booked on advanced) for have lunch with calm, take pictures, have a walk in the fishing village Sesimbra and have some time to enjoy one of the best beaches of Portugal (Beaches of Sesimbra are ones of fews in Portugal which have the certificate of “The Blue Flag”). We are very sorry that you didn’t find this tour interesting for you, but we also did not have the opportunity to show you the great part of the tour after lunch. We had to visit one of the highlights of this tour, the "Quinta da Bacalhoa" wine company, considered the best wine company in Portugal and Christ the King. Thank you for your opinion and we wish you always a great travel experience. Best Regards, Andre Marquês
Excellent visit, starting the tour by going to the local market and having a cheese tasting was spectacular. The azulejos factory was very interesting, and so were both wine producers. Overall an excellent experience. If i had something to suggest is to perhaps go to a winery that allows you to see all the process for wine making and not just going to see the cask barrels and tasting.
Everything was just fantastic ! André was very very helpfull and good company. We had a lovely day. We'll be booking more tours !
