Tour of Defensive Lines of Torres Vedras, Ericeira & Mafra Palace

Anthony_H, Oct 2024

We enjoyed our day spent with Frederico who was a charming guide and companion. A long-time goal to visit the Lines of Torres Vedras was fulfilled and new knowledge gained. The opportunity to view the historical landscape first hand and to have context added by our guide combined for a great experience.

Amazing experience!

Michael_O, Oct 2024

We had an incredible experience touring the Lines with a very knowledgeable and wonderful guide. The tour made seeing these very easy, with pickup right at our hotel, and local knowledge that just made things easily. It was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone with even a passing interest in these incredible feats of engineering or early modern warfare at all. There are some gorgeous sights to see as well!

Everything we hoped for

I highly recommend Frederico, owner of EPI Travels. On Sunday my traveling companion and I had an all-day private tour with him to the lines of Torres Vedras, Mafra & Ericeira, which was tailored to our interests and needs. Frederick’s English is excellent, as is his knowledge not only of the Peninsular wars but much of Portuguese history. He picked us up right on time and while driving to our first destination, got to know us and our interests for the day, as well as giving us some background so that we would understand what we were seeing in the bigger context of Portugal’s history. At every stop he made sure we were able to explore to our heart’s content, while answering our many questions. My companion’s back began to act up late in the day; Frederico smoothly adjusted our pace to accommodate without issue. He is a friendly, personable guide who clearly loves sharing his country and its history. Thank you again, Frederico!
