Joao was a great guide through the bridges and mountain and coast of south Lisbon. Thank you for the incredible spots and stops, the great lunch recommendation and overall excellent knowledge of all of Portugal!
This was a great full day trip! The day was very well planned and we enjoyed every minute! João was a great guide and modified the program according to our wishes. We were picked up from Lisboa at our hotel. We spent time on the most beautiful beaches in our one week trip and visited exciting caves of Arrabida and the Palmela Castle, as well as lovely Sesimbra. João was so knowledgeable and shared many tips. The guided visit to winery was amazing experience too. Recommend! Thank you, João once again!
A lovely day out with a very informative, passionate guide. Joao gave us a great insight into the history and geography of the area and enabled us to visit a variety of sights. Thank you for enabling us to have this experience.
