Setubal History, Beautiful Tiles and Amazing Wine! - Hugo, our guide, was very good, he attentive, knowledgeable and very passionate about sharing his home. We enjoyed getting to know about him and his family and the culture of the Portugese people. The history of the Palace exceeded our expectations, the stories about the owners were fascinating. The wine tasting was wonderful and our guide, Anna, was knowledgeable and very personable. One of the highlights this day was our visit to the tile factory, the gentleman that took us through the tile process was very charming and their products are beautiful. Lunch was at a local spot with delicious food and a lively atmosphere, it was a weekend so all of the families were out enjoying themselves. It's nice to be in a restaurant with locals feeling their energy. The rest of the landscape tour was beautiful, it was so nice to see the natural beauty outside of Lisbon, it was a breath of fresh air.

Tour... - Wonderful tour, our guide Eduardo was enthusiastic, engaging, communicative and well organised, with helpful recommendations. The tour have seven stops, with some free time in every stop for photos, food and for to use the toilets, I can say the trip was really well planned. Beautiful weather, during the tour we experienced stunning views at Arrábida Natural Park and at the Christ Sanctuary. We loved Sesimbra Villa, it's so cozy and picturesque our guide knew a lot about so he shared some key historic points of it. Last stop is at Cais do Gingal a impressive spot for sunset with a marvellous view to Lisbon city. 5/5 experience 🔝. sed.
