We decided sort of last minute to take this tour. We were a family of 8 so it was a private tour. Miguel was super knowledgeable of the area and made the trip fun. We started at the old market in down town Setubal. The Christmas market was also going on along the Main Street thru the town. We learned a ton about fish and tried some fresh oysters with champagne. We then headed into Arrabida Park. The views were spectacular. We had lunch at a cute little seaside “town” with stunning views (not in used in price). Day ended at a winery where we tried Moscatel for the first time. Wish we had discovered this sooner bc we LOVED it. So yummy.

excellent bike tour. the guide Simon is very knowledgeable and shared insights into local history and culture. The bikes are electric which makes them easy to get up the hills

The visit to Sintra was excellent. Our guide did a good job in explaining the history and the the significance of Sintra.

The guide Miguel is really amazing! The day was great and well organized. The local tastes(wine and food) were so good.

The Aquarium was immaculate! And it was very nice!
