Loved it! What a day! - What a wonderful and relaxed tour to this little hidden gem of Setúbal. It’s a beautiful town, the Convento of Jesus was amazing (as was also the museum), loved the views from the Forte of St Filipe and our first stop at Miradouro. Couldn’t write this review without speaking about the incredible Livramento Market, where we learned a lot about the local fish culture and had the chance to try out the ultra fresh fish at a cute little local restaurant. Andy, our tour guide, was ultra knowledgable and an overall cool and welcoming dude who made us feel like we belong in Setúbal. We’ll return there, for sure!

A Great Experience - This tour lived up to all expectations and our guide Andre was helpful and informative. It covers the area around Sesimbra extremely well and gives a good overall impression of the countryside, interesting sights etc. Very good value for money and Andre was very careful to accommodate the needs of two fairly elderly travellers! The tour was suggested by the Tourist Information Office in Sesimbra and the staff there were lovely and made all relevant phone calls to arrange it.
