A Perfect New Year’s Eve in Arrábida! - We spent the last day of the year exploring Sesimbra and Arrábida with Pedro, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Pedro was knowledgeable and friendly, making the 6-person group feel like a gathering of friends. The coastal scenery is stunning, and the wine tasting was excellent. It was a seamless, memorable way to see the beauty of Portugal outside of Lisbon."

Exceptional Guide, Fantastic Day - We had a wonderful tour to Arrábida with Inside Lisbon Tours, guided by Orlando and his trainee, Fabio. We really lucked out because it ended up being just the two of us on the tour, which made the experience feel very personal and relaxed.
We started the day in Setúbal with a visit to the Livramento Market. I honestly wished I lived nearby, the seafood was incredibly fresh, and the baked goods were outstanding. It was a highlight right from the start.
Next, we visited the José Maria da Fonseca winery, which was beautiful and very enjoyable. We then stopped in Sesimbra for lunch, and Orlando gave excellent recommendations that did not disappoint. Another standout was our visit to Quinta de Alcube, where Orlando arranged a personalized wine experience just for us, which made the day feel extra special.
Overall, it was a great day from beginning to end. Everything stayed on schedule, even with some traffic on the way back. Orlando and Fabio were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour both informative and fun. I would absolutely recommend Inside Lisbon Tours for a memorable and well-organized experience.

Great experience - This was a great, informative, well paced tour. Tomas was energetic and great to be around.
Some notes - these are just tastings and there is not time allotted to buy an additional glass of wine to drink after the tasting.

Get out of the city and explore where the locals are. - A great way to see more of Portugal than just the city. A visit to an authentic market, two wineries, a drive along the coast and a stop at Cristo Rei Christ Statue on the way back. Xavier was a terrific tour guide, very relaxed, but informative. There was plenty of time to enjoy each location. As a solo traveler it is always good to do a tour and meet other travelers. This was well priced, well paced and a really nice way to see outside of Lisbon.
