We had an amazing time as a couple on our Setúbal winery and fish market tour in May 2026. Our tour guide, Flavio, was fantastic! During our half-day tour from Lisbon, we stopped at a local cafe then toured the Bacalhôa palace followed by the tasting room. We then visited the Setúbal fish market where we had charcuterie and wine and sampled some other local dishes as well. Flavio shared many interesting things about Setúbal, and we enjoyed all the stops on the tour. Flavio was an excellent tour guide and extended the utmost hospitality. The tour was peaceful, relaxing, and fun - in summary, we highly recommend this tour!!!
Wonderful walk! History is an amazing gastronomy!!
Fantastic experience! I had a friend visiting, and we decided to explore Setúbal together. Even as a local, I discovered so many things I hadn’t known before. The tour guide was excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and truly passionate. Every place we visited was simply stunning. Highly recommended!
Amazing day!! The guides were awesome, the experiences authentic. The fish market was a cool highlight. Highly recommend
Francisco was very knowledgeable and took good care of us. The palace tour was fascinating, the wines wonderful, the history very interesting and the views from the fort breathtaking. A very enjoyable experience.
Francisco was great! Very informative and knowledgeable. He took good care of us! I would definitely recommend booking him for a private tour
Superb tour - interesting points and history. Great guide / driver - Artur. Having a guide who was passionate and proud of Portugal made this one of the best tours I have been on.
Arthur was an exceptional guide and driver during our tour! His detailed explanations made the experience even more enjoyable as we explored the winery, market, and castle. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a fantastic time at every stop. His passion for the places we visited truly showed, and we appreciated his insights and recommendations. Highly recommend Arthur for anyone looking for a great tour experience!"
