Fabulous Tour! - We (3 friends) thoroughly enjoyed the tour! We appreciated having a small group of 7 making it easy to converse with each other and our guide João, who was both knowledgeable and engaging. It was a great day of sightseeing, learning interesting facts, and of course wine tasting. Would definitely recommend! Cheers!

A MUST! - This is an absolutely MUST when visiting Lisbon. Nuno was the most kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun guide. Wine tastings, incredible views, and a real taste of what the Portuguese countryside/coast has to offer, all in one.

Great day trip experience outside of the busy city center - Ricardo did a great job explai ing Portuguese history and wine. Sesimbra has a beautiful beach and the view from the top of Arrabida over the Portuguese coast was Breath taking. I loved the small family vineyard a lot more than the first one we went to.

Great day out - Brilliant trip. Our guide was very knowledgable and courteous. The wine tasting was amazing. A ‘trainee’ was on the tour too and he brought his knowledge with him too. All in all, a great day out.

Breathtaking Scenery & Savory Wine - It was an extraordinary adventure that combines breathtaking scenery, rich history, and exquisite wine. Our guide, Nuno, was the highlight of the experience—knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about the region. His storytelling brought the history of Sesimbra and the surrounding areas to life, making the tour both informative and entertaining.
The day was perfectly capped off with a wine tasting at a local vineyard. The selection of wines was superb, and we savored each sip while learning about the winemaking process from passionate local vintners. The small-group setting ensured a personalized experience, allowing us to connect with fellow travelers and share in the joy of discovery.
This tour is a must for anyone looking to explore beyond Lisbon, offering a delightful blend of history, natural beauty, and gastronomic pleasure. Highly recommended!

Great day trip - We had a great time with our guide, Tony, and our small group on our tour! Tony went out of his way to make sure everyone was well-fed before we stopped by our first wine tasting, and brought us to a local shop for some pastries and espresso. He also gave us plenty of recommendations before each block of free time we had so we could use our time well, kept us all engaged during the tour (even while driving), and let us have quick photo stops at scenic viewpoints. We felt there was sufficient time at each stop to explore and the two wine tastings were decent (although I would not say this is a particularly wine-focused tour). Overall it was a well-organised tour that I would recommend for people looking for a nice day trip through Arrabida National Park and a quick stop at Sesimbra.
