Arrábida

This tour takes you to one of the most beautiful regions south of the Tejo River. Framed by the Arrábida National Park and the Sado Estuary Natural Reserve, this area is also home to stunning beaches like Portinho da Arrábida and the vast sands of the Tróia Peninsula.

The regions of Palmela and Vila Nogueira de Azeitão are known as the capitals of the Setúbal Wine Route, with their cellars and farms to visit. A very rich region, from examples of our heritage, like castles and tiles, to the gastronomy, with wine and pastries.

Palmela and Azeitão: Wine, Heritage, and Flavor

We begin by crossing the Tejo River over the Vasco da Gama bridge, the longest in the European Union at 17 km. As we pass through Montijo, we’ll make our way to Palmela, for a visit the Palmela Castle. From here, you’ll enjoy one of the most breathtaking views over the entire region.

Afterwards, we follow scenic roads surrounded by endless vineyards. This route takes us to Azeitão, known for its artisanal cheese and regional pastry sweets. While here, we will visit a family-owned Tile Factory that still produces tiles with traditional techniques.

Wine Tasting and a Memorable Return

In Azeitão, we’ll visit a local vineyard for a guided wine tasting. Wine has been produced in this area for centuries. The unique climate and soil create ideal conditions for high-quality grapes and excellent wines.

After a fantastic day in our company, we return to Lisbon via the 25 de Abril Bridge. On the way back, you’ll catch a beatiful farewell view of the Cristo Rei and the wonderful view of the city of Lisbon on the horizon.

Sintra, for example, has a microclimate, which in a way makes this place so magical and unique, but sometimes it can really make the visit sad by limiting visibility and the experience a bit, but that’s something that’s not in our control.

This is an excellent tour to see beautiful, less travelled areas outside of Lisbon. Our host Pedro was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was truly an amazing way to spend the day and get a look beyond the typical tourist locations. Many thanks Pedro. We highly recommend this tour and especially Pedro.

We took a tour of Setubal with Paola today. First, let me state that the company went out of their way to arrange a tour that fit our needs. I am moving to Setubal and wanted to learn more about area outside my neighborhood. I thought this tour could help and boy oh boy did it. Paola met us at our door in Setubal and proceeded to show us a wonderful time. Our first stop was at the Fonseca Winery. Azeitao is beautiful. It's a quaint peaceful town full of a quiet gentle European beauty. From there we went to the tile company. The artists were welcoming and knowledgeable. Then we went to lunch on a very beautiful beach that was not crowded and seemed to be almost untouched by tourists. As a future local, it was a great find!! Following lunch, we went to an abandoned military base that provided us with magnificent views of the ocean. Lastly, we went to a fortress. I can't recall the name, but it's at the top of the mountain...I know that doesn't help. Paola was an amazing guide. She was personable, friendly, and made us feel comfortable immediately. I highly recommend this company and Paola.

We had a great time learning the history of the vineyard and loved the wine tasting at the end. The surprise hit was the tile factory. We got to see how tiles were made (by hand and not an automated machine). We also got to make your own and have them shipped to our home. Our tour guide Maria Madalena was amazing. She is very passionate about her job and also helped with taking photos and videos of memorable moments.Big hugs Stefan Eklund.

Really enjoyed our tour with Pedro. The views were amazing and the winery experience was fantastic. Pedro was a wonderful guide and provided us with so much insight into the area and many suggestions for the remainder of our trip. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the areas surrounding Lisbon. We had a wonderful day with Jorge! My husband and his dad enjoyed all the extensive history information and chatting. The sites are beautiful and we had a delicious lunch and even got to pop in a couple of shops along the way around town. My FIL has bad knees and Jorge was sure to check in to make sure everyone was doing okay with the pace we were going at. I highly recommend this tour for the castle and history lovers and having Jorge as your guide!

Jorge was, besides a great driver, which gave us peace of mind, very friendly and helpful on the route and stops. When you need a tour in Lisbon, I will definitely do it with it.
