Unique experience.

Jason_T, Oct 2025

My fiance and I had a great time on this tour. We got to do so many things in one day. None of our other tours had this variety of unique experiences. The car was comfortable. Our guide Joao was very friendly and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great time. Even dropping off the tiles we painted at hotel the next day, which was a huge help. I highly recommend this tour.

Hi Jason, Thank you so much for your kind words! So nice meeting you both. I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the variety of experiences that you did in this unique tour.

Great Experience!! Great way to see something outside of the tourist attractions and experience Portugal!

This was an amazing experience. Not a normal touristy visit. We had a great day at the winery, cheese factory and the tile shop. The tours were given by experienced people who actually worked there and not just did tours. Our guide gave us lots of great information about Portugal and the area. It was topped off with a beautiful lunch at a seaside town. I highly recommend

Hi Kim, thank you so much for your words. We are all guides not entertainers :) With years of experience guiding groups and that makes a difference in the end!

My fiancée and I did the Lisbon cheese factory, wine tasting, and tile painting tour with João. We were received at each stop by a friendly and knowledgeable guide where we learned how queijo de azeitão is made from start to finish, got to see all of the operations of a local winery and tried an incredible sampling of wines and cheeses, and watched as skilled tile painters meticulously hand craft beautiful tiles. We had lunch in the gorgeous seaside town of Sesimbra and ended our tour at the Cristo Rei to enjoy breathtaking views of Lisbon. Many tours in a city so busy can feel rushed and disjointed, but João executed this tour perfectly from start to finish. If you want a more personalized, peaceful tour experience at a comfortable pace that lets you truly take in your surroundings, I highly recommend booking with João at Portugallium

Hi Jonathan, Thank you so much for your amazing review. You just described perfectly what’s our goal on the experience!!

Fantastic Day Trip!

Crysti_R, Mar 2025

This tour was an amazing experience, thanks to our fantastic guide. From the start, he was friendly, engaging, and attentive to our enjoyment. We began at the sheep cheese factory in Quinta do Anjo, learning about the cheese-making process and seeing it firsthand. Then, we visited the Venancio Winery, enjoyed tasting four different wines, each paired with bread and cheese from the factory we visited. Each piece of bread and cheese was topped with ingredients to complement each wine, creating a truly delightful tasting experience. Needless to say, we bought wine! The next stop was a tile-making workshop, where the owner demonstrated how tiles have been crafted for centuries. It was amazing to see the ancient technique still in use today. We had the opportunity to make our own tile, which will be kiln-fired and mailed to us as a unique keepsake--a fun, hands-on experience! Afterwards, our guide took us to a local restaurant he highly recommended. The meal was simple but incredibly delicious, the perfect way to enjoy the mid-day at Sesimbra. To wrap up the day, on the way back to Lisbon, we stopped at the Santuario Nacional do Cristo Rei and crossed the 25th of April bridge (plans and building by the same American company who did the Golden Gate bridge). Overall, our guide's friendly personality, knowledge, and attentiveness made this a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Experience Portugal’s artisanal and crafty side!

Max_M, Sep 2024

Such a wonderful experience! It was very intimate and well put together. We enjoyed all parts of it - the cheese, the wine, and the tile painting. I would highly recommend this tour to those looking to learn more about Portugal’s artisanal and crafty side!

Hi Max, so nice meeting you both. Thanks for the amazing review. Take care

Wonderful three part tour, highly recommended.

Bryan_H, Dec 2023

Really enjoyed this experience. The tour guide was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to three very interesting activities. We started with a fascinating tour of a cheese making factory that ended with a wonderful cheese and wine tasting. He then took us to a very cool tile making factory where we not only got to paint our own tiles like advertised but were allowed to help make one as well. And finally ended with a wine tasting of some very delicious wines at a small local vineyard. I highly recommend this package if you are in the area.

Hi Bryan, thank you so much for your words. I'm so glad that you enjoyed our tour. Best regards
