Behind Sesimbra's Fish Trade

Ralph_W, Sep 2024

The Hooked On Sesimbra tour offers a detailed look into the fish processing industry in Sesimbra. Leonor, our guide, provided clear and informative commentary in English. The itinerary included observing a live auction, visiting fishermen working on nets, and watching fishing boats get ready for their trips. I would recommended it for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes aspects of the fishing trade.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Ralph, thank you so much for your kind words. Hope it had exceeded all expectations! Hope to see you again in Sesimbra!

As happened, I was the only person...

Judith S, Oct 2017

As happened, I was the only person on this tour that day, but Marcello was a great guide and person and we got to be friends, so how nice is that. I learned a lot about the fishing industry and had a boat ride along the coast and a great dinner at a tiny place in the town. It was a fine day.
