We (3 friends) thoroughly enjoyed the tour! We appreciated having a small group of 7 making it easy to converse with each other and our guide João, who was both knowledgeable and engaging. It was a great day of sightseeing, learning interesting facts, and of course wine tasting. Would definitely recommend! Cheers!

This is an absolutely MUST when visiting Lisbon. Nuno was the most kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun guide. Wine tastings, incredible views, and a real taste of what the Portuguese countryside/coast has to offer, all in one.

Ricardo did a great job explai ing Portuguese history and wine. Sesimbra has a beautiful beach and the view from the top of Arrabida over the Portuguese coast was Breath taking. I loved the small family vineyard a lot more than the first one we went to.

Brilliant trip. Our guide was very knowledgable and courteous. The wine tasting was amazing. A ‘trainee’ was on the tour too and he brought his knowledge with him too. All in all, a great day out.

Paolo was a great guide. He knew so much history of the land. The castle and landscape were beautiful. Enjoyed the vineyards and the group we were with. He was also a very good driver!! Recommend highly!!

Franchesca_C

It was an extraordinary adventure that combines breathtaking scenery, rich history, and exquisite wine. Our guide, Nuno, was the highlight of the experience—knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about the region. His storytelling brought the history of Sesimbra and the surrounding areas to life, making the tour both informative and entertaining. The day was perfectly capped off with a wine tasting at a local vineyard. The selection of wines was superb, and we savored each sip while learning about the winemaking process from passionate local vintners. The small-group setting ensured a personalized experience, allowing us to connect with fellow travelers and share in the joy of discovery. This tour is a must for anyone looking to explore beyond Lisbon, offering a delightful blend of history, natural beauty, and gastronomic pleasure. Highly recommended!

JMF Winery tour was great. Seafood lunch was excellent also. Paolo did an awesome job. Wondered way to spend a day out of Lisbon.

We had a great time with our guide, Tony, and our small group on our tour! Tony went out of his way to make sure everyone was well-fed before we stopped by our first wine tasting, and brought us to a local shop for some pastries and espresso. He also gave us plenty of recommendations before each block of free time we had so we could use our time well, kept us all engaged during the tour (even while driving), and let us have quick photo stops at scenic viewpoints. We felt there was sufficient time at each stop to explore and the two wine tastings were decent (although I would not say this is a particularly wine-focused tour). Overall it was a well-organised tour that I would recommend for people looking for a nice day trip through Arrabida National Park and a quick stop at Sesimbra.

This was a nice day trip to learn a bit about the Setúbal region and take in beautiful views. The highlight was a visit to the oldest winery in Portugal, which is still run by the 6th and 7th generations of the original family. Guide Tony could not have been better. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and went out of his way to get to know the guests and make sure that everyone was having a great time.

Matilda our driver was brilliant. She was very knowledgable and amicable. Kept us informed all along the way nd ensured we got the best from every part of the trip. Small group of 6 of us plus 2 more from USA made it more intimate that a large bus load of people. Highly recommend this tour
