Lisbon: Arrábida & Sesimbra Tour – Wine, Nature & Beaches

Amazing day trip!! Perfect for anyone with an extra day in Lisbon who wants to dive into the city’s hidden gems. Unforgettable views and magical places all along the way. A big shout-out to our guide, António — he was awesome! 🙌

A really special tour. If you love nature and seaside, and going to places without mass tourism, this is the trip to reserve!

We had never been to Portugal before this and wanted to experience different areas while here but smaller excursions as opposed to large ones. Leo was our guide today and he was amazing. As no one else other than my husband and I were on this tour we got to see lots of hidden spots and great lookout points. The wine tour was very informative and we learned lots and enjoyed samples of their wine. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you again Leo from Elaine and Kevin from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

We booked this day trip expecting a bus group tour, but to our surprise (and luck!) we ended up being the only couple that day. It turned into a private adventure, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Leo. Leo was absolutely amazing-knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the region. What made the day truly special was that he took us to some off-the-beaten path spots we would've never discovered on our own. These hidden gems gave us such a unique perspective beyond the typical tour sites, and we felt like we were experiencing the area more authentically. (The Meme's were an unexpected treat!) The entire day was perfectly paced, with the right balance of sightseeing, learning, and time to simply enjoy the surroundings. By the end of the trip, we felt like we had spent the day exploring with a friend rather than just a tour guide. This was one of the highlights of our time, and we would highly recommend Leo and this tour to anyone looking for a truly memorable experience.

Leo was such a great tour guide. Super friendly and helped take great photos. If you love a good jam session on this tour, he’s your guy. Definitely recommend and had lots of fun.

Jorge was very knowledgeable. Made the ride interesting and entertaining. Had knowledge about everything we saw. Really asked questions to get to know us so he could specialize and customize trip for what we like to see. Took us on some off the path spots which had amazing views of the ocean below. Best day trip I took in Portugal.

Jorge was the most amazing tour guide we could have ever asked for in Lisbon. He took us on an adventure to Sesimbra and Setubal where we visited hidden spots known only to locals. We ate at the best seaside restaurant and sipped wine where the tour was as fabulous as the wine. 10/10 would recommend Jorge as your guide!!

To say this excursion was exceptional is an understatement and that’s because Jorge was beyond amazing as a guide. He was able to show us so many parts of the area that we probably would never have known about without him. We ended with one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen and Jorge went above and beyond all day to make sure we were seeing what we wanted to see. He also made sure to take photos for us along the way. Can’t thank him enough for our day and all the recommendations for the future. Highly recommend!

We had the most amazing day with Jorge. From the minute we met until the end of the day, Jorge felt like family. He knew how to avoid the crowds and was so very knowledgeable about the history of the area. If you ever get the chance to tour with Jorge, do so., you won’t regret it. The area is so beautiful and the local winery stop was nice with some great wines, but the best part of the day was the friendship we made with Jorge.

We had an amazing experience with O Turista Tours in Portugal! We initially booked their Sintra tour, but since Pena Palace was closed due to fire risk, they quickly accommodated us with a private Sesimbra tour instead. Our guide, Jorge, was incredible—super friendly, knowledgeable, and punctual. He went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience, showing us both highlights and hidden gems. O Turista offers a variety of tours, but after our experience, we can confidently say this is the one to book!
