Privat Safaritur till Espichel Cape & West Coast Wild Beaches

This was truly an unforgettable experience. Rafael isn’t just a guide; he is an incredible person who clearly loves sharing the beauty and history of Portugal. From the very start, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed, and it quickly felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend. He took us to breathtaking hidden spots that we never would have found on our own, each with stunning views and fascinating stories behind them. His knowledge of Portuguese history and culture added so much depth to the day, and he had a special way of bringing each place to life. On top of that, Rafael is so well connected that he was able to get us into unique locations that most visitors would never have access to, which made the whole experience feel extra special and one of a kind. We came away with not just amazing memories but also a deeper appreciation for Portugal thanks to Rafael’s passion and insight. It was an absolute blast from start to finish, and we would happily do this excursion all over again the next time we are here. Highly recommended!

On March 3rd I signed up and paid for the private Espichel Cape and West Coast 7 hour May 14th tour. On May 12th, the night before it as the deadline to cancel, I got an email from the company asking if I could reschedule for the 13th or the 15th. I said that I had committed to other tours for the 13th and I was leaving the 15th. So they said they would keep the tour on the 14th. On the 14th a guy showed up with a jeep that was clearly having mechanical problems and drove us to the areas near the beaches where buses were parked but no off road as advertised. He told us that being there was his way to relax, too and left us to look around on our own without guidance. Then he got on his phone where he staid except when he was driving. Turns out he worked for another company and had lots of work to do! He skipped areas where he was supposed to take us and drove us back to town and suggested lunch. He took us to his friend’s restaurant where he told us they were very busy and it would take a while to be served. He said he would park the jeep and be in a bar with WiFi so he could work and we should find him. We said we were leaving the restaurant and he said, well find me in the bar when you are ready to continue. We still had over 3 hours left on our tour and the jeeps mechanical condition was getting worse. We found the jeep but not him, so we walked back to our hotel and wrote to the company telling them that we felt cheated. No response.

We had a fabulous time on this jeep tour, it was the perfect day trip from Lisbon! You get to drive through the countryside and then make your way to a beautiful secluded beach. We ended the day with some wine overlooking the countryside. Well worth it!

The tour was well arranged and full of joy! Andy gave us heartfelt touring from the coastal line to the hike. The beach , Praia dos Bicas, was a highlight of the day. You can rest and enjoy the tranquillity.

It was a fantastic experience , our Guide Andy was extremely helpful , he took us to see the most fantastic places in Lisbon , not having brought a towel to the sea .. he lent it to us who had one more , at the end of the way he also offered us a bottle of wine in a wine cellar , and I would add that he also took a lot of photos with a high resolution, thank you very much Andy for this experience. Lorenzo and Sofia 💚

Andy was excellent, personable and engaging . The beaches were great, we did not stay and enjoy the beaches due to the weather being seasonally cold but we were given the opportunity.

António, our tour guide, is an absolute delight. Hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had and I’ve traveled around the world. He took us to all the spots (that I can’t remember the names of) while giving us history, fun facts, stories and exchanged jokes. So glad we got to enjoy the company of a delightful human being who we wish all the best to. Hope we can cross paths again in the future. Highly recommend!! You’ll be lucky if you get António.

We were picked up by Rui in Lisbon and started our day with a beautiful drive to the Cape, the scenery and church and lighthouse WOW! The photos we got were amazing and the history we learned was so interesting. Bread and the best cheese followed by watching the paragliders and one of us was so close to making the leap tethered to a tandem glider but the wind just didn't cooperate for her to go. Rui was patient with our little diversion to the itinerary and quietly made adjustments over the phone to push our lunch back and it was so so good, lobster and shrimp risotto, baby clams in a delightful broth, great wine and more. Rui was super kind and took the best care of us every step of the way. We cannot recommend this tour and our tour guide enough.

Thank you Antonio for the amazing tour around Sesimbra! We were all able to kickback and relax and let you drive us all around to the castle and a special winery. Your local knowledge was amazing. We even stopped and learned about the cork oak trees. We will definitely be back. Obrigada my new friend!!

A special day of fun, views, laughs and learning in Portugal! We had a blast checking out Cabo Espichel, Sesimbra, Arrabida and wineries. This guy is kind and VERY entertaining. Thank you, Antonio!!
