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

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.

Enjoy a hiking tour to the highest limestone cliff of continental Europe. Go inside  Arrábida Natural Park and take a long walk into the remote lands of "Serra do Risco". A place  characterized by a landscape with a strong character. The walk is done along the top of the mountain that looks like a wave that advances impetuosly and is suddenly cut off and sculpted in the air, it is a wave of stone and scrub, it is the fossil of a wave.

Great Tour and tour guide. Highly organised they will even pick you up at the hotel/house you are staying at and return you to the exact same spot. Natasha very knowledgeable and super helpful with booking viewing times and lunch. Really safe also with the current situation with covid. A comfy car with hand sanitizer and AC. Well worth the cost and Andre was very helpful and contactable for sorting out tours and trips at short notice when we planned at trip on the 04/09/2020 I personally highly recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing and stress free trip around the area of Sesimbra and to get to know wineries and local culture. Top marks from me ????

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 :)

We made this event as a birthday surprice, and were not dissapointed. The captain greeted us, went through safety regulations and then out to sea. We got some information about Sesimbra in general, but much more on the influence the fishermen has had on the area. It is great to see how Portugal takes care of their environment, protecting areas and sea. The trip gave us much, and a great swim as well. First leg was east towards Arrabida, then passing Sesimbra again on the way to the west, almost to Cabo Espichel. This was a very good experience. Boat was nice as well.
