The honest range.
Our private full-day experiences from Lisbon start between €101 and €254 per person, depending on the day and the group size. Wine days in Arrábida start around €135 per person; longer or more remote days — the Vicentine Coast, deep Alentejo — sit higher because the drive is longer and the day runs 9 to 12 hours.
The price per person moves with the group.
A private day is one vehicle, one guide, one plan — the cost is shared by the party. Two travelers pay more per person than six. That is why every one of our pages shows the price per person by group size before you book, not after.
What is included matters more than the headline.
On our wine days, tastings at family wineries, a traditional lunch, private transport and hotel pickup are included in the price. When you compare offers, check whether tastings, lunch and entrances are inside the number or added on the day — that is where 'cheaper' tours catch up.
Private versus group, in money terms.
A seat on a shared group tour costs less per person — typically a third to a half of a private day. What you give up is the rhythm: fixed stops, fixed timing, a fixed menu. For couples and small groups who want the day to bend around them, the difference is the point of the trip.
Multi-day journeys are priced as one design.
For journeys of several days, the cost depends on the route, the stays and the pace — there is no honest fixed number before the journey exists. A travel designer shapes it with you and prices the whole journey transparently before you commit to anything.
