Pedro was both knowledgeable and so helpful. We had a wheelchair with us and Pedro helped us with the chair at all the stops. His knowledge of Fantima was so detailed and he gave fun stories along the way. If you have a chance to do this tour with Pedro you must it was the best day of our trip!

The Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, amidst the deep blue sea and the green of the hills, is a breath-taking place. Situated by the sea, the park offers some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the Lisbon area. The highest point is in the Serra do Risco, a magnificent cliff 380m high. A good way of getting to know this pristine place, featuring pure Mediterranean vegetation, is this private tour. Like a wall of green sticking out over the Atlantic, the hills offer shelter to small coves of white sand where, despite being on the edge of the ocean, the sea is almost free of waves.
Inclusions: Bottled water, Wine Tasting
Exclusions: Lunch, Gratuities
The cork factory was surprisingly interesting and the town of Évora was adorable. The Chapel of Bones is extra (only 5€, but worth it) and you’re on your own for lunch. We picked Tragos E Condutos and had a fabulous meal (get the black pork!). To top it all off, the winery was equally awesome and included a tour of the winery’s carriage museum. It may sound boring, but (again) it was surprisingly cool. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and best of all, our tour ended up being private because no one else signed up. Definitely recommend!

If there is a tour that we can consider as a true "sightseeing tour", this is the one. You'll have the opportunity to know Arrábida Natural Park, one of the most beautiful spots near Lisbon. Founded in 1976 and covering 108 square kilometers, it is one of the 30 areas officially under protection mainly due to being host of many rare species. We will visit the small village of Azeitão, with some wine tasting on the way, Sesimbra,Palmela and many other places that you will be delighted with. If the weather helps maybe some time on the beach on this crystal clear blue waters.

Sonja made my day in Sintra and other places she took me to. A wonderful experienced and outgoing person showed me much of her land and explained a lot. Friendly and formally, carefully and directly, wellknown to many, she knew how to open doors. I can only strongly recommand „igoportugal“. Wolfgang

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.

My girlfriend and I decided to go for this tour/experience around Lisbon to enjoy our last day in Portugal. No Regrets. We really had an amazing time, from Cascais to Sintra, going through landmarks such as Cabo do Roca (most western point of Continental Europe) to the Peña Palace, discovering wonderful sights and with the lead of our Guide exploring secret areas, with less tourist and more natural experiences. It was a pleasure to discover the region with a local, which has a passion for the place he grew up in. I would recommend it over and over. Particular thanks to Ruben.
