Itinerary

After meeting your guide and small group in central Lisbon, set out on the scenic journey to Arrabida. Admire the spectacular views along the Tagus River as you pass over the Portuguese Golden Gate Bridge, then continue south, watching as the urban landscape gives way to rolling hills and lush vineyards.

Stop in Azeitão to learn about tile-making at a local factory. See how traditional tiles are made and the rich history behind the decorative building materials. Drive through the idyllic landscapes of the Arrabida Natural Park, stopping to take in the views of the Arrabida Mountain, the convent, and the sandy beaches along the coast.

Then, stop at the first of two family-owned vineyards for a guided wine tasting paired with local snacks. Continue to the coast to explore the lively fishing town of Sesimbra, where you’ll have time to stroll the scenic beachside promenade, take in the views, and enjoy lunch (own expense) at one of the renowned fish restaurants.

After lunch, head to another family-owned vineyard nestled in the foothills of the mighty Arrabida Mountain. After indulging in the final wine tasting of the day, travel back to Lisbon, stopping at the Christ the King Statue and Sanctuary, before ending the tour back in Lisbon.

Love the 2 wine tasting...

WingMan_H, Mar 2026
Love the 2 wine tasting experience. Tania and Caterina had been very caring. They provided us with all the useful information. You feel like hanging out with friends rather than being in a tour! Thank you for the lovely day.

Wonderful day!

Julie_H, Mar 2026
One of the best tours I have ever been on. Tanya was amazing! So knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The wine tastings were informative and fun. Was able to take loads of pictures of beautiful vistas. Tile factory and lunch stop were also excellent. Was with a great group of people. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic Day Exploring in Portugal

Elizabeth_B, Dec 2025
Even though we did not have great weather, our tour guide made the whole day special. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Day trip from Lisbon

Kathy_M, Oct 2025
I feel the itinerary was a little misleading, sounds like you do more than you actually do. It mentions that you're at the California beach for 1 hour 30 minutes and then you're also at Sesimbra for 1 hour 30 minutes. You're actually at both the California beach and Sesimbra for 1 hour and 30 minutes total. Didn't go in the Fort which is listed. By the time we had lunch in Sesimbra, there was not time to do anything else. Would like to have had more time there. The wine tasting was was good and at a wonderful place, but could've used a few more snacks. Our guide was wonderful and spoke really good English. Very informative. The views along the way were amazing so it was great to see another part of Portugal.

This was a lovely day...

This was a lovely day trip. Miguel was great as our guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable. It was a very pleasant day and wine tasting was icing on n the cake.

Excellent tour and guide would recommend

Elaine_G, Sep 2025
Fabulous day out. Lots of off the beaten track sightseeing plus of course the wine tasting. Lilly our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Air conditioned vehicle and just the right amount of time at each stop. Views to die for and wonderful recommended lunch. Would definitely recommend this tour and Lilly !

Nice relaxing day

Linda_D, Sep 2025
Nice day outside of the city with great guide and delightful fellow travelers. Especially enjoyed the beach and winery

***** A great tour with Lilianna. *****

Timothy_M, Aug 2025
Fantastic tour! Lilianna was funny, sharp, and made history as fun as the wine (and the wine was very fun). Learned a lot, laughed a lot, drank just enough—perfect day.

Trang_N, Aug 2025
Our tour guide from Lisbon Riders, Lilian (also known as Lilly), was fantastic. She made the experience enjoyable by sharing interesting facts about Portugal's history, telling fun anecdotes, and providing us with excellent wine. Lilly took us to beautiful vantage points for photo opportunities and recommended great places for lunch. This tour is definitely worth considering for first-time visitors to Lisbon. The best part was that Lilly genuinely wanted us to have an amazing experience. She never rushed us and ensured that everyone in the tour group was happy. Along the way, she shared some great jokes, making the tour even more enjoyable. Lilly is a truly fun and outstanding tour guide.

This was a great experience! Amazing views from the cliffs to the south of Lisbon, great lunch in Sesimbra, and delicious wine. Plus an extremely knowledgeable guide who knew everything about Portuguese history, wine, and even geology!

Best Small Group Tour!

Rachael_D, Aug 2025
This was one of the best tours we have ever done. Carolina, our tour guide, was the best guide we have ever had when traveling. The tour was only 6 people which was nice and small so we could have a more personalized experience. Carolina was incredibly informative about everything we did throughout the day with history and knowledge of just about everything. Truly passionate about her country and excited to share it with others. She had many recommendations for the rest of our time here in Portugal of where to visit, what to do, and where to eat. Despite it being an incredibly hot day, it was a relaxing enjoyable day with many beautiful view points, a beachside town, the beautiful natural park, and ending in a great wine tour where we got to bring some bottles home to enjoy. Can’t recommend this tour enough with Carolina as your guide!

Great day !!

Anthony_R, Aug 2025
This was my fourth tour while in Portugal. The guide was fantastic. A really enjoyable day and she made it memorable.

Our day trip with Tania

Darrow_A, Jul 2025
This was an historical adventure! Our guide, Tania shared the most wonderful historic facts, legends and stories with us. The castles, churches and villages were spectacular. The views were indescribably beautiful. We travelled on narrow, winding hilly roads and felt safe in Tania’s care. She made special stops to make sure we saw every incredible view possible and even knew the best poses for pictures. My favorite stop was Sesimbra- so rich with culture and beauty! The Alcube family vineyard was the perfect ending. Tania’s knowledge of the wines was very enlightening. Her personality made every moment special. Thank you for giving us this incredible experience!

Rebecca_M, Jun 2025
We had an amazing day with Kat and loved the entire experience. There was so much to see on this trip and the views were spectacular. Kat was extremely knowledgeable and a joy to spend the day with. And the wine was fantastic! Highly recommend this trip! You won't be dissapointed!

Great Tour!!

Abby_B, Jun 2025
Kat was a great guide and I learned so much about Portuguese history. Overall a great day and would highly recommend!

Fun filled day

Sam_H, May 2025
We had a wonderful tour with Lilly, she was a fanatic tour guide who gave us interesting insights into the history of the local region. She also recommended an incredible lunch spot which we thoroughly enjoyed and took us to a wonderful vineyard.

Beautiful scenery and better attention

Raymi_M, May 2025
Beautiful scenery and beach town, great attention from our guide Katherina. We even left a bag in the bus and they were kind enough to deliver it to our hotel.

Mark_V, Apr 2025
We loved the scenic drives along the coast and the stops on this tour. Unfortunately, due to storm damage, we were unable to go inside the castle, but enjoyed the tour nonetheless. Our tour guide, Lily, did a good job explaining Portuguese history. We loved ending the day with (plenty of) wine.

Sesimbra and wine tasting

tefftm, Apr 2025
Lilly was a lovely guide for our day trip to Sesimbra. We were the only ones on this tour but she didn't cut corners at all. She was attentive, informative and an excellent guide. This trip is well worth the money - this is some of the most beautiful land and water we've ever seen!

Lovely day

Oleg_S, Apr 2025
It was a good trip , i could see Natural Park and ocean coastline, two guides were fantastic , I can recommend it for people who want relax day

Balance of sightseeing, food and wine

Jackie_M, Mar 2025
Our tour guides (Catarina and Carolina) were 10/10! So kind, flexible and knowledgeable about Portugal history, attractions, food/activity recommendations, etc. It was a relaxing day of sight seeing, lunch in Sesimbra and ended with a winery stop (Quinta de Alcube).

Beat day to the see the coast and to visit and sample Portuguese winery.

Tracy_N, Mar 2025
Had the best time on this day tour to Sesimbra and the winery. Unfortunately the time spent in Sesimbra seemed rushed but that was only because the restaurant we chose took so long to serve us. We were warned about this. Your was fantastic and had a great mix and group of travelers especially for someone like me who was travelling single.

hidden gem locations. Knowledgable and so friendly guides. Wouldn't hesitate to do more tours with this company.

Henrik_M, Feb 2025
They didn't cancel the tour even though I was the only participant. So basically I had a private tour guide all day! Carolina was very friendly and knowledgeable and taught me a lot about Portuguese history and culture. The tour itself was great, a bit of the beaten track as advertised with spectacular nature and amazing views. The winery was small but nice, no tour of the production facility but we walked around the vines and I got to taste four different wines. A perfect day!

Couldn't recommend it...

Guy_R, Jan 2025
Couldn't recommend it enough. We were the only two on our tour in January but our guide was so welcoming it was a great day. Knowledgeable and thoughtful with great recommendations and great bits of history throughout the tour. Would certainly do it again!

A true taste of Portugal.

James_C, Dec 2024
Beautiful countryside with wonderful views, lunch in a seaside town by the beach and finishing the day with a selection of amazing wines!!! Carolina was an awesome guide!!!

Best time in Cabo Espichel, Sesimbra and Arrabida!

Daniel_A, Oct 2024
Tania was the best guide ever. She shared so much about Portugal, customs and natural beauty. She was very engaging, great humor and dispositions and answered all questions from the group. I would definitelly take another tour with her. Her knowledge of wines was surprising. Highly recommended.

Great getting away from the big city of Lisbon.

Cindy_M, Oct 2024
Caroline(English name) was a fantastic guide/driver. We had a lovely little group that she included everyone in conversation. Unfortunately the weather was not the best but it did not spoil the day. Still enjoyed the scenery, lunch, towns and winery. Highly recommend it.

Great full day day

Inna_G, Oct 2024
Tanya did an amazing job!! She made sure that everyone in the group felt included and welcome, she was very knowledgeable, told excellent stories, answered all the questions and made the day fun. We would very highly recommend this experience.
