Absolutely exceptional experience with this lovely family-owned business in Sesimbra! ❤️ The tour with this father-and-daughter team was truly special. The dad was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, sharing fascinating stories about the area and taking us to some of the most beautiful and hidden spots. It felt so much more personal and intimate than a typical tour. They even treated us to some traditional Portuguese liquor and delicious cake, which was such a thoughtful touch! 🥰 He was also so kind and attentive with my children, constantly making sure they were comfortable and enjoying themselves. We got to visit one of the beautiful beaches and have time to explore, which the kids absolutely loved. The weather was a little foggy on the day we went, but honestly, it made the experience even more magical. The cliffs, beaches and mist created such a mysterious and mesmerising atmosphere. 🌊✨ If you're thinking about booking a tour in Sesimbra, go with this family-owned business you absolutely won't regret it! The personal touch, knowledge and genuine care made the whole experience so much more intimate, authentic and fulfilling than going with a bigger tour group. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable day e tudo de bom para a sua familia.❤️🇵🇹
A wonderful experience ; the very dear guides I definitely recommend
Spectacular, 100% recommended. Small boat with few people and Bruno and his daughter are a 10.
Bruno and his daughter were amazing. Very welcoming and warm. Bruno’s sea experience is well felt. We enjoyed every minute of it. Don’t skip the snorkeling option
Had such a great experience with the Salty Gecko! The captain and his daughter were fantastic tour guides and really kind and patience with my twin boys. We even got to pet a jelly fish! The experience was both relaxing and educational and we shared a lot of laughs along the way. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience, very friendly people educated an excellent job, attention with passengers, the Luana daughter of Bruno does a job with dedication and very polite super indico 😉
We loved the experience! Very friendly guides who explained very well the history of the coast and the various points of visit. The boat used allows you to enter the caves, which provides an even more charming experience! In addition, during the tour, we were offered a delicious baby, typical of the region! :) We recommend this company, and when we return to Sesimbra it will be our No. 1 choice!
