Guided visit in Sesimbra - My recent visit of Sesimbra together with two professional guides was a great experience. This small fishing village is a delightful mix of rich history, vibrant local life, natural beauty and delicious fish restaurants. My guides were able to transmit their passion for the “Pexitos”. Sesimbra is for sure a destination worth visiting. I already look forward to coming back next year. GFT

Semibrosa at its best! - Tomas was excellent! Fun, knowledgeable and professional. It was great to be with a local who showed so much passion in sharing history and cultural stories of Sesimbra. I really enjoyed learning to speak Portuguese (at least a little) He could speak Spanish, French and Nordic too. A very nice day and I appreciate this great experience. Obrigato!!! Oh and the wine and cheese was a great ending to the tour! Deliciosa!

Best tour of Sesimbra. - The original tour I had booked was cancelled, but what a wonderful turn of events to come across this tour. I was met by the wonderful guide, Marcelo. His tour was rich with the beautiful history of the Sesimbra and the resilience of the fisherman who provided for its village and the rest if its region. During this delightful walk, we sampled local toasted wheat, wine and cheese. Well worth the tour. This was the best introduction to Sesimbra one could have. Obrigada!!

Full or local knowledge and useful tips - Rafa, our guide was a great advocate for his country and Sesimbra. A very personal guided tour during which we enjoyed wine, cheese and local biscuits. We left much more familiar with Sesimbra, and found out where the local bakery, restaurants, bars and market are. Having done many walking tours before I would recommend this as high quality and good value. A really pleasant morning!

A delightful way to spend the morning - A really fascinating insight into the story of Sesimbra. Lots of hidden gems. We particularly enjoyed the short visit and interaction with the fishermen. The tastings of pastry, bread, cheese and wine were an extra bonus. Guide Rafa was enthusiastic and informative. A must do activity in Sesimbra.
