Fantastic corporate team experience!

"We booked this tour as a corporate team event while visiting Lisbon for a conference. Our group wanted something relaxed and authentic outside the city and this was perfect. The organization was excellent and everything ran smoothly for our group. The wineries were beautiful and the wine tastings were very well explained. The visit to Livramento Market was a highlight and lunch at a traditional Portuguese restaurant was fantastic. A great mix of wine, culture and scenery. Highly recommended for corporate groups visiting Lisbon."
