We had a wonderful day with Francisco in Sintra and surrounding areas. He gave us great advice, helped us avoid the crowds, and was very smart. His car is very nice and he is a really smart guy. He does a great job of gauging his audience by pacing the trip in a great way.

This is culture and food, fun and informative. We will be sailing, swimming, eating, discovering a new Lisbon and connect with amazing locals! Our boat will cast off from Belém, a privileged area to explore some of the most famous and busy historical monuments, from the quietness of the river. It's an opportunity to relax and see Lisbon from a unique perspective, but also to learn about some historical facts, curiosities namely the old stores where Porto wine and dried codfish was kept, lots of street art and secret restaurants. We will then search for a quiet place to anchor, to have a swim! If we are lucky, we will see dolphins, 'tho we can promise it! We will then enjoy a unique tasting created by our Chef exclusively to this trip with a unique fresh Portuguese white wine, while smoothly sailing back. Relax, enjoy the view and the sunset while we approach our final destination. * Excelente experience for private groups. Contact us! *

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Tastings especially made by our Chef Miguel for this experience, A rare portuguese white wine, Bottled water

Me and my brother signed up for this tour as we've both been in Portugal for a few months and wanted a local's view of Lisbon. Our tour was led by Sílvia - she was born and raised in the Alfama neighbourhood right downtown. She is passionate and knowledgeable about both Lisbon's history and Portuguese cuisine. More importantly she is definitely not reading from a script - what made the day stand out for me was that the day had set stops and dishes (all excellent) but the conversation developed organically based on participants' interests and preferences. Highly recommended!

Andre was an amazing guide and the trail was one of a kind. Never in a million years could I have navigated it without him. We had a great conversation and the time flew by. It was a great way to get outside the city of Lisbon and explore. It is a bit challenging in parts and when the guide tells you to wear pants, trust them :)

This tour is a must for any visitors to the Lisbon area. Our guide, Tania, was amazing. She was so welcoming and knowledgeable and made sure we had the best day possible. Due to Covid-19 restrictions there were only 4 of us on the tour - myself and my sister and another couple (who were also absolutely lovely and we became friends). Sintra and Cascais are so beautiful and the tour allowed us ample time to explore both areas. Tania gave us great tips on the best photo opportunity spots and also on the best places to eat. The area was very quiet compared to pre-Covid times, but it was really nice to see Sintra, the palace and surrounding area without hordes of tourists - no queues. We wore our masks at all times so everyone felt safe from a Covid point of view. I cannot fault the service and the tour. Great value and amazing to see these places with so few tourists about. One of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. It is quite hilly so be prepared for some walking - but you can always get a lift up to the palace grounds if you have limited mobility, so don't let that put you off.
