Don't hesitate to book your private tour with Ricardo and Funtasting Tours. Ricardo is an experienced tour guide setting out on his own and building his own business. He is local to the Sesimbra / Arrabida / Setubal area and is eager to help people experience this underappreciated quick trip from Lisbon.
Ricardo's warmth and hospitality began well before the trip, with great proactive communication in advance, ensuring he was planning a trip to our tastes. He is very client-centric and willing to customize the whole day to make sure you get what you're looking for.
We love being on the water, so we took advantage of Funtasting's partnership with one of the local boat tours and had an amazing experience with the area's friendly and plentiful dolphins. Ricardo made coordination with this other group seamless and stress-free.
The day's other highlights were a personal tile production shop tour and a swim at the beach. We were surrounded by stunning scenery all day and entertained by Ricardo's stories. Of course, being picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel in Lisbon made the whole day effortless.

Thank you so much for this glowing and detailed review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and showing you around the Sesimbra, Arrábida, and Setúbal region.
Hearing that you enjoyed the dolphin boat tour, the tile workshop, and the beach swim—and that the hotel pickup and proactive planning made everything seamless—means the world to me as I build my business. Creating personalized, stress-free experiences is exactly what Funtasting Tours is all about.
I hope to welcome you back to Portugal for another adventure in the future

Fantastic exploration
Ricardo was a very knowledgeable guide and took us to places we wouldn't have managed to get to on our own. The whole family had a great day, learnt lots and enjoyed getting out of the city to see more of the area.

Worth every penny
This tour truly became one of our favorites during the visit to Portugal. Our wonderful guide Ricardo went out of his way to showcase the stunning beauty of Arrabida. He picked us up near our hotel in Lisbon, making everything so convenient. Throughout the day, we stopped at many breathtaking viewpoints and beaches that left us in awe. Ricardo was incredibly kind and even took photos of my mom and me throughout the tour. He captured some truly special candid moments that we would have never been able to get ourselves. Overall, the tour went smoothly, and we both felt completely relaxed and at ease. We enjoyed some divine wines at the Bacalhoa winery, and before that, Ricardo kindly offered us delicious fresh cheese and bread from the local market. After winery visits, we had a wonderful lunch at a charming local restaurant—I had one of the best shrimp curry stews ever! Our last stop was at a tile workshop, where we learned even more about the beautiful Portuguese tiles and how they are crafted and painted. Ricardo generously shared a wealth of insights into Portuguese culture and lifestyle. He also offered fantastic tips on how to explore more hidden gems around Lisbon and make the most of your visit. If you're planning a trip to Lisbon and want to escape the city for a day of stunning views and authentic experiences, Ricardo is the perfect guide to help make your time in Portugal truly memorable.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with you and your mother and to show you the 'hidden' side of Arrábida that I love so much.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos! It was a joy to capture those moments for you—sometimes the best memories are the ones where you can just relax and be present. I will definitely tell the restaurant about your compliment on the shrimp curry.
Sharing our culture, our wines, and the art of our tiles with such appreciative guests is what makes my job so rewarding. You both were wonderful company, and I’m thrilled that you felt at home in Portugal.
I hope the rest of your trip was just as magical. Whenever you decide to return to Lisbon, you know where to find me!
Warm regards,
Ricardo

Great day! 😀
Great tour,
Lisbon to Setúbal, passing by local market tasting local products and the wine, of course... Some of the most breathtaking sights from the ridge to the ocean... I'll be back next time to see the dolphins as well 😁
Thanks Ricky

That sounds like an amazing tour! Exploring local markets, indulging in regional delicacies, and savoring the wine must have been delightful. The journey from Lisbon to Setúbal, with its stunning views from the ridge to the ocean, sounds like a dream. And dolphins? What a great reason to return! Ricky must have done an excellent job hosting—cheers to a fantastic experience! 😊
