    Great trip outside of Lisbon city

    Our tour guide Nidia made this trip exceptional! She went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our preferences and was the perfect mix of personable and professional. Wonderful stops, scenery and the perfect place for a beach picnic!

    A day outside of Lisbon

    The entire day was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the amazing sea views, And the visits to the food market to choose our picnic and the visit to the small tile factory.
