A brilliant and thoughtful tour around Setubal - We had a brilliantly insightful and thoughtful personalised tour with Raquel who added special stops and treats for our 5 year old twins who HATE walking! It was a wonderful experience

Real local tour - Just back from Setúbal, and what a ride! Explored the city with my pals on this tour, and we were all grins. Our local guide knew every cool nook, like that jaw-dropping view at Miradouro de São Sebastião. We wandered the historic streets and ended the tour by the Jesus Convent. Wrapped up the day feeling like we'd lived a slice of local life!

Charming Tour in Setúbal - What an amazing time we had with our group of nine, we enjoyed a delightful walking tour that included a visit to the Jesus Convent – an absolute highlight.
Our guide was an absolute delight, sharing some of her stories that had us all captivated. Setúbal's history came to life with a sprinkle of humor that made learning so much fun. Also the instashots we took against the stunning backdrop of the viewpoint were great!
Five stars all the way!

Pleasant, peaceful tour of Setubal - Setubal came recommended to see from my friends. When looking around for options, the hotel found Raquel’s walking tour and we set it up. We arranged for a pickup at my hotel in Lisbon so I wouldn’t have to feel pressured to find the transit options and starting point myself which I think was a great idea, especially as I was learning the area.
Raquel’s knowledge of Setubal and interest in tourism and history shined during the tour. She shared a bit about the canning industry and walked me through a historic factory, some museums and tourism centers, and my favorite part was just walking the different streets in the city and seeing all the shops and fun decor (which changes frequently). I also enjoyed seeing the market with all the fresh produce which is open in the morning (so book the morning tour if you’d like to see this).
Raquel adapted our tour a little to show me some things I wanted to see, including guiding me to a restaurant where I could sample some local cuisine and helping me figure out transit back to Lisbon, by way of Cristo Rei, which I took the opportunity to see since I was already on this side of the water.
I’d recommend taking the tour! If you have a couple ideas of what you want to see before you go on the tour, that might be a good idea and something to share with Raquel so she can tailor it to your interests. I didn’t have a plan and enjoyed it just the same. Setubal is had a different pace and energy than Lisbon and it was nice to get out and see a different town.

Awesome Setubal Tour - I had an amazing time exploring Setubal with Raquel.
We started at a Viewpoint and the views were absolutely stunning! From there, we dove into the historic center, discovering the city's rich culture and architecture. The highlight was the Convento de Jesus, covered with a unique red marble and a curious 2 year old mummy inside! It was so cool to connect with a local and experience their way of life in Portugal at such a relaxed pace! Highly recommended!
