Very informative tour. - The tour was interesting & very informative, I will never look at cork products in the same way again.

Great morning out - Really friendly tour staff, very knowledgeable. Had a fantastic time and enjoyed learning so much and being shown around. Would have been nice to have more items available int eh cork shop, it was mostly items for women.

Great little tour! - Very cool tour. Learned a lot and even the kids enjoyed it! It was a little warm the day we went but overall it wasn't too bad.

Excellent. - Factory store well located. Great prices and many varieties. It can be tasted right there. From breakfast to dinner a great option.

Tour to do when you come to Portugal. - Small factory with artisanal methods that explains where cork comes from, harvesting, processing, it is very very interesting and it is a thing to do when you come to Portugal.visit a good hour with guide speaking your language.Small shop to bring back a souvenir of everything that is done in cork.

Great tour - We found our tour very informative and interesting. Definitely worth the effort. The guide took us right around the factory and explained everything in detail

Informative and worth a visit - So much fascinating information about the uses for cork, and the amount of labour needed to produce it.

Interesting Guided Tour, French Battle Prevailed - The tour (book in advance) takes place in the factory where since the 19th century is dedicated to the manufacture of cork plates. It was a very interesting tour, to see how cork is processed from cutting down the cork tree to processing it. During the tour, a worker was doing his job, and you were also allowed to try cutting cork yourself. The tour was led by the very spontaneous employee Irina. Unfortunately, the tour was supposed to be entirely in English, but was dominated by the few (outnumbered) French people present, who refused to speak English so the Guide started talking like Agent Crabtree of Allo Allo, so you didn't really know what she was saying now. Thanks to the staff, especially not to those French who had ruined it a bit.

Interesting traditional work - It was interesting to see how the cork was classified and prepare in an old fashioned way. It was also interesting to learn how environmental friendly the cork is.

Very interesting - Very interesting on the history of Cork and pre production. Not really a factory more of a warehouse and initial processing and manual grading. The palletised cork is then shipped out to factories for conversion to finished items. All the grades and uses were explained in some detail
