Relaxing combo of less-visited areas.

Thomas was a great guide for the day! He was kind and engaging. This tour takes you to a variety of stops off the main tourist routes. The 360 degree top-of-the- world views from the castle were amazing and required just a few steps since we were dropped off right there. We went on a Monday and there was no one else there. So historic and peaceful as we enjoyed the magnificent view. After seeing beautiful tiles on so many buildings in Portugal we were delighted to see how they are made. We had lunch in a beautiful, quiet beach town. This is one very long lovely sand beach and just a few people walking or swimming. Was great to take in a smaller less touristy town. The view of Lisbon and its magnificent bridge from the bluff is amazing when visiting in the awesome Christ statue. 100% glad we spent the day on this tour! Thanks Thomas!
