Great wine, company, and tour guide - This day trip was absolutely worth spending a day of my time in Lisbon. Arrábida and Sesimbra were both beautiful, and it was such a great experience to visit two different vineyards and see the contrast between a larger company and a smaller producer. Our guide was fantastic—he handled both English and Spanish speakers seamlessly, making sure everyone felt included and that no information was missed. The free time in Sesimbra was lovely and gave us plenty of time to explore and relax. As a solo traveler, the small group size was perfect for meeting and chatting with other travelers. Highly recommend!

Wineries, a Market and a Seaside Village - I enjoyed this tour with Tomas. Both wineries were excellent and the samplings were more than enough. I also enjoyed the other stops especially walking around the fish/produce market and the seaside village of Sesimbra. I wished I had a market like that at home.
