Amazing day at fishing port - Hooked on Sesimbra is a great experience organized by Marcelo in his hometown. Sesimbra is a very nice marine town fully devoted to the ocean. Fishing traditions go from generation to generation. We visited port and had a relaxed walk in town getting known its history and traditions, tasting its unique pastries and drinks. Marcelo is a great host and very interesting person. He is very easygoing and communicative. He organized our nice group so everybody felt involved. We are really happy with our decision to take this experience and would highly recommend it to everybody. Hope to visit Sesimbra again and have new experience with Portugalska team!

As happened, I was the only person... - <p>As happened, I was the only person on this tour that day, but Marcello was a great guide and person and we got to be friends, so how nice is that. I learned a lot about the fishing industry and had a boat ride along the coast and a great dinner at a tiny place in the town. It was a fine day.</p>
