My wife & I has a bespoke tour organised. We were collected in a cool 4x4 jeep and driven around the west coast of Portugal. From Lisbon to Sintra and then to Cabo de Roca. Simply beautiful. The tour guide was excellent and gave us space (and info when we asked). Reasonable prices and excellent communication. 5/5

Start the tour admiring the Tagus river bay while crossing the Vasco da Gama bridge, one of the longest in Europe (117.185 m). At Palmela climb to the medieval castle to enjoy the breathtaking view and then, down to the village historic centre, taste the Setúbal Moscatel, which is one of the Portuguese wine treasures. Relax for lunch in the fishing town of Setúbal or at Sesimbra beach, where the local gastronomy, especially the fresh fish, is superb. After lunch, go to the highest point of Arrábida Natural Park to enjoy the magnificent scenery and paradisiac views over the green mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. Then go to Azeitão where you will visit one of the oldest wineries in the region (Casa Museu José Maria da Fonseca) and enjoy another wine tasting. The local sweets and cheese are also a must. Finally, stop at the Cristo Rei to enjoy the view over the city of Lisbon, before returning to Lisbon, crossing the 25 de Abril suspension bridge.

This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

Dare Lison recommended and arranged our private full day tour. We have spent an amazing day with our guide Goncalo, he has been very friendly, careful and knowledgeable. He made us discover Sintra and suroudings areas in a different way, he really knows the most interesting sights to see and visit all day long, he has shared with us his passion for his country history. i dont think we would have seen all those places by ourselves, and we have learnt so much! Not really used to take a private tour, but the experience was great Service was perfect, we highly recommend Goncalo!

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.

Azeitão is the one of the most important region, producing quality wines, of Portugal. It has many sub regions called “denominations” that are great to visit, regions that have the status of DOCG (a geographical region with a regulated wine production). Most regions in Azeitão specialize in reds and “Moscatel” often using the same grape variety. Enjoy a very unique and carefully designed tour of this region and make the best of your stay in Portugal. Please note that we might not guarantee these specific wineries as they are subject to availability. We reserve the right to change into another winery.

Jose was a really great tour guide- from beginning to end. He customised our itinerary to ensure we visited all the places important to us, and still added in a few quick stops along the way which were surprisingly beautiful and well worth detours (especially the most western point in Europe). Highly recommended tour, great experience
