Private Tour: Sesimbra Blaue Küste

After spending an incredible day exploring Lisbon with Francisco, we knew we wanted to experience more of Portugal with him—and we’re so grateful we did. Over the next two days, Francisco introduced us to another side of Portugal. We explored the beauty of Arrábida Natural Park, admired the breathtaking views of Setúbal and the Tróia Peninsula, visited the Bacalhôa and José Maria da Fonseca wine cellars, relaxed in Portinho da Arrábida, and spent time at the stunning Galápos Beach. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, yet the days felt relaxed and never rushed. What I appreciated most was how easy Francisco made everything. He picked us up, dropped us off, shared the history and culture of each place, recommended wonderful local restaurants, and always found a way to make our ideas come to life. It never felt like we were simply checking places off a list—it felt like we were experiencing Portugal through someone who truly loves his country. As I celebrated my “50 in Bloom” milestone birthday, Francisco also coordinated a photoshoot at the Castle of Sesimbra with the talented Miguel Sequerra of Mirart. It was such a thoughtful addition to the trip, and the photographs are memories I’ll cherish for years to come. Thank you, Francisco and Badger Tours, for your kindness, hospitality, and care. You helped create an experience I’ll never forget, and I’m leaving Portugal with a full heart. 🙏🏽

Loved our tour by Francisco! It is so nice to be picked up at our hotel. We had a great sightseeing tour of all of the coast of Sesimbra and a special visit to the winery for tasting, which was a perfect start to the tour! We also learned a lot about the history of the area and of Portugal. We visited an authentic tile making place and visited the Castle of Sesimbra. Francisco was a great driver and answered all our questions.

Francisco and his team at Badger were wonderful during our recent golf trip to Portugal. They were punctual on each occasion that we required transport. We also used their services to take us on a day trip to Setubal pointing out all the beautiful sights and filling us in on the history of various places. They also took us to the food market there which was very interesting. Full marks to this company- couldn’t recommend them more highly..

Excellent, professional and friendly service provided by Francesco and his team. Loved our tour of the amazing coast and the wine tasting experience.

Cooperate with Badger Tours it's simple and always with a fantastic communication. All the staff are friendly and they want to make sure you have what you need. Very recommendable.

Francisco and the entire team at Badger Tours were fabulous from start to finish. They helped us choose the right tours and were fully engaged with our experience. Their professionalism was above our expectations.

Since we were interested in a holiday destination for a relaxing seaside holiday, but also to experience and see the beauty and diversity of Portugal, we chose Sesimbra, on the Setúbal Peninsula, in the region of Lisabon. It was the best decision we made because the beauty of this place convinces by a lot of tradition, beautiful scenery, excellent restaurants, perfect beaches for all occasions, coves, cliffs and worth seeing buildings. But for this we absolutely must express our sincere thanks to Francisco Texugo and his company Badger, which organizes many tours among others. Francisco made us fall in love with Sesimbra through his professionalism, warmth, punctuality, flexibility. Francisco makes you feel like you're among old friends you always like to meet, and at Sesimbra very comfortable. See you again, dear Francisco!🤗🙏

I spent, together with my girlfriend, more than a week in Portugal, a fabulously beautiful country, in Sesimbra, a resort not as well known as others, but absolutely gorgeous. And to make everything like in fairy tales, from the Badger agency appeared, like a genie from Aladdin's lamp, Francisco, the one who made our vacation twice as beautiful. We went with him on three tours, the Sesimbra area, Sintra, including Pena Castle and Capo de Roca and, of course, Lisbon. With patience, kindness, competence and being a true encyclopedia, Francisco took and showed us wild places, hidden beaches, surprising beauties, castles and representative monuments. It was a superb incursion into deep and traditional Portugal. And most importantly, we felt like an old friend, who lives in Portugal, took us to show us the fabulous beauties of this country. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, dear Francisco, for the discovery of this beautiful country, as well as for the warmth that made us feel like we had a new friend. We will definitely come back!

This is my third time visiting Sesimbra and my third time using Badger Tours, Francisco has now become more of a friend as he knows my family very well, the service he provides is second to none, always professional, always polite and always punctual. Nothing is too much for him and he always manages to accommodate for changes in plans which is very reassuring. See you in 2025 !!!! Rashi

Francisco was very attentive and knowledgeable, we truly enjoyed the tour and seeing all the wonderful places he has shown us. Would definitely recommend and would book again with this company.
