We only had half a day available, from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm, and we visited Lago Albufeira, Cabo Espichel, Sesimbra Castle and had a quick stop next to the Arrabida convent (but did not visit the convent; tickets are sold online prior to the visit, and are available only on certain days). This would have worked better as an 8 hour tour, with more time to visit, but we were happy nonetheless to get to briefly see all these attractions.

Great Day in Arrabida with José
This was a lovely relaxing half day with breathtakingly beautiful views. It was a nice break from old monuments and buildings to beautiful, natural landscapes. Jose was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, charming, and funny. He pointed out several additional points of interest and gave us the experience from a local perspective rather than a tourist’s. We had a great day!

Great day in Arrabida with Jose!
Our tour guide, Jose Ribeiro, was the absolute best! He was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out additional attractions that were not on the itinerary. The tour gave us a unique opportunity to experience the area from the perspective of a local not a tourist. To top it off, Jose was very friendly, charming, and funny. The viewpoints were breathtakingly beautiful - I now intend to return to explore some of the places in depth. I truly enjoyed this tour!

Beautiful day in Arrabida (Half Day Tour)
We had a wonderful time with Jose on our half day tour to Arrabida. Jose was knowledgeable, entertaining, and curated a perfect day of seeing beautiful vistas and points of interest in Arrabida, Sesimbra, and the surrounding areas. On the way back to Lisbon, he took us to visit a local beach town where we were able to relax and have a quick snack and glass of wine overlooking the ocean. We never felt rushed and he was a wealth of knowledge on Portuguese history, culture, and geography. I would recommend a tour with Lisbon on Wheels to anyone looking to see the beautiful coastline with an energetic guide who loves what he does! Obrigada for a GREAT experience!

The BEST tour of Lisbon
Jose was a fantastic tour guide! He took us places that cannot be seen on an average tour, nor with the average tour guide. We went to beautiful, hidden beaches, experienced paragliders soaring just above us, had freshly-made pastry and muscato with the locals, saw gorgeous monuments with views of all of Lisbon. Truly an extraordinary tour with a very giving guide. We highly recommend Jose.

Off the beaten path. Arrabida park and Sesimbra
If you want some fantastic views outside of Lisbon , the mountains and beautiful beaches, this is for you. José was interesting and very knowledgeable. The 5 hour tour flew by.

Fantastic!
A fantastic experience- Miguel was very knowledgeable and took care curating a wonderful itinerary for us based around our interests, whilst also keeping the drive fun with some great music! Creiro beach is a must-see and we also had a great time seeing Sesimbra and cabo espichel. Well worth the time and money!
