About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- debragQ8263EL0 contributionsWorth exploring!Our guide Diogo - Tony - was very informative and added to the whole experience. We covered a lot of ground and saw many sites outside of Lisbon including interesting landmarks, the standing stones, cork trees, the market at Evora, church of bones, and a cork factory. I was pleasantly surprised by the added knowledge of the wildlife. Just an overall fun time for us as a group of strangers. I would highly recommend this tour!Written 29 November 2024
- GrandTour7228550 contributionsWonderful way to see Sintra and Cascais in 1 dayOur tour was beautiful and unique. We made sure to miss the lines and people as much as possible getting even better views and walks towards Sintra from the park and an incredible view of Cascais. Our guide was fantastic local who was full of amazing information, insights and shared his perspectives on a beautiful dayWritten 26 November 2024

- Freedom422831450640 contributionsGreat day trip to Sintra.We had a wonderful day. Pena Palace is so beautiful. We had a great lunch in Sintra & enjoyed walking around the town. All the additional stops were great. Our driver/guide Joanna was so good !! We had a fantastic time.Written 19 November 2024
- 538MaryH5380 contributionsLots of Ancient History together with an understanding of the harvesting of cork & its uses!What an awesome day trip. The cork trees were incredible. Had no idea that cork had so many used!! Then we visited the dolmens of Almendres. Incredible that the stones are older than Stonehenge! Then onto Evora. To view Roman ruins is incredible. Part of the temple is still standing! Then into the Chapel of Bones. Bit macabre! A full day trip!! Joao our guide was fantastic! His English was excellent. Highly recommendedWritten 18 November 2024
- hesters3340 contributionsSuch an amazing experience!It’s hard to say what was the best part of this tour for me, the amazing places we visited or our fabulous guide. The weather was perfect, the crowds were minimal, and Joana, our guide, was the perfect combination of well informed and welcoming. When we stopped for lunch, I found a cute little place to eat just off of the main square and was able to avoid the crowds. This was my favorite day of my trip to Portugal!Written 15 November 2024
- stephenbB538ZR0 contributionsTour of Sintra & CascalsGuide was informative and did a great job of bring tour sites to life. A little to much "free time" making tour to long. Very enjoyable.Written 14 November 2024
- Escape265001848660 contributionsGreat tour!Great 10 hour tour. Our guide, Philip, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He managed the time very well. His English was excellent. I highly recommend this tour.Written 14 November 2024
- Billyo010 contributionsCould have been betterI don't like writing reviews that aren't positive, but I feel I owe it to the TA community to be honest. There were several thngs that I hope the tour company will improve on in the future. To start, our tour was delayed about an hour because the guide had to pick up an additional passenger at the airport, which was out of the way. At a couple of stops we were left to browse on our own and meet up with her afterwards. At these stops we saw other guides with their groups, explaining what they were seeing. Our guide seemed knowledgeable, but was not very proactive with information, rather she mostly just answered questions. On the ride home, she spoke more, but we were in the back of a 3 row vehicle and couldn't hear her at all. The 2 towns were very worthwhile to visit and we were glad we did so. Hopefully this review will lead to improvements in the future, as out guide was a very nice person.Written 8 November 2024
- W8287JXandrewa0 contributionsGoodGood tour. Nice length. Ariana was a friendly and knowledgeable host. There were 7 of us customers. Got picked up from hotel, did a stop for 15 mins at a cafe, then went to Pena Palace. Then we had 1.5h in Sintra town to have lunch on our own and look around. I think we would have had less time if the group had gone through Pena Palace slower by choice or if it were a busier time of year. Then we went to Cabo da Roca for 15 mins, then we went to Cascais for about an hour, then dropped back at our hotel in Lisbon. Unfortunately none of the pastries at the first cafe (paid as part of the trip) or at the famous pastry places in Sintra were vegan, but that wasn't surprising. Had a nice vegan lunch at Mela Canela in Sintra.Written 7 November 2024
- n s0 contributionsA wide range of experiences.We had a great time seeing diverse areas of Portugal. The coast, Fatima, a monastery, a walled city and learned some fascinating history.Written 3 November 2024
- 253matildam0 contributionsIf you are considering this tour - Just do it !Small group. Beautiful, Mediterranean-like countryside. Monoliths were unspoiled by commercialization, and very few tourists (some goats, though). We went on November 1st (a significant date in Portuguese history). Our guide (Gil) was fantastic and made the trip highly memorable : ) Recommend!Written 3 November 2024
- tx_thang0 contributionsBones, stones and a rainbowA fantastic day with tons of history if the Alentejo region, cork forests, Neolithic stones, cathedrals, lunch. The day was 1 Nov, so it was a perfect day to visit the chapel of the bones in Evora. Our guide Gil was very knowledgeable about the area and thousands of years of history. And a bonus rainbow from Monte Evora!Written 2 November 2024
- 684sandyk0 contributionsAmazing tour!Very comfortable and enjoyable tour. Interesting sights and adequate 1 hour stops for wandering through the small towns. Mauro was the best guide with a great personality, very knowledgeable , and he pulled up the van to the easiest spots to reboard. He also recommended a farm to table restaurant that our group went for. Delicious lunch. This is a must see tour and ask for Mauro!Written 31 October 2024
- afurbee0 contributionsExcellent tourWe had a small manageable group with very polished, knowledgeable tour guide. Comfortable van, shared the history of the area, provided waters, and gave us sufficient time in each area. Highly recommend!Written 30 October 2024

I CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!! My friends and I had the best day of our entire trip on this yacht tour. The tour guide, captain, and crew were some of the kindest most welcoming people we met on our trip. The scenery was stunning, the paddleboarding was so fun, and the boat was gorgeous. At the end of the tour, my friends and I were sad to leave this wonderful experience with such lovely people. If I ever have the privilege of coming back to Lisbon I will be booking this tour again.

It was an awesome day. The opportunity we had with the dolphins interaction was unique! Plenty of activities like Stand Up Paddle and Kayak and beautiful places where we anchored and enjoyed together.
The staff members were very helpful during the activities giving us directions and tips in order to proportionate the best experience possible.
With no doubt that this experience is a must in Portugal. Hopefully I can repeat very soon!

The crew was amazing and made us feel right at home! Everything was well organized, from the pick-up to where we stopped for lunch. This exceeded my expectations. We were picked up from our place in Lisbon and taken to a marina that is about 40 minutes away. This was perfect as it was away from the city and allowed us to see more nature than if we would have left from a marina in Lisbon.

I rarely write reviews but had to give a 5* recommendation for this trip with Luis and Gil. Everything was perfect.
Luis picked up from our hotel right on time and after a quick drive down to Sesimbra we boarded the boat and set out for the best day ever. It wasn't long before dolphins came out to play, then we dropped anchor for some paddle boarding and swimming (ask Luis about his patented snorkelling method - not to be missed) and then headed over to the east to see more of the Arrábida national park.
Luis and Gil are just the loveliest guys and made our family feel completely welcome from beginning to end. Book this trip - you won't regret it.

Our group had the best time! The guys were so friendly. They went above and beyond, they even found my friend’s sunglasses in the ocean when she lost them! We saw dolphins on our trip! The boat was clean and had many amenities to make our trip just so fun. Highly recommend this, this day made our trip.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Lisbon!! The crew (David, Rui, and Gil) was fantastic, friendly, extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. They first took us to an area where all of the dolphins are, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of over 10 dolphins hunting and jumping out of the water. The water was so clear that when they swam underneath the boat, you could see them perfectly! It was incredible! They then took us to this amazing local restaurant with the best seafood we have ever had. It also had breathtaking views of the water. After lunch, we then went snorkeling and paddle boarding. The boat itself was beautiful, with an indoor area with couches, a small kitchenette, and a bathroom. At the end of the day, the crew let us steer the boat for a bit too! David, Rui and Gil gave us a day that we won’t forget for the rest of our lives, and we would highly recommend this trip. We can’t wait to return to Lisbon to go on more tours with David, Rui and Gil!
