Great tour and guide - We selected this trip based on a very interesting itinerary of visited places and a very positive review about Frederico, the founder and owner of EpiTravels who is guiding this tour. And we were very happy about our choice. This private trip with Frederico is an unforgettable experience. He is professional, very friendly and attentive to all customer’s wishes, very well explaining and guiding. His car is perfectly clean and comfortable. All visited places are amazing, real beauty of Portugal and not so crowded by tourists. Because we were so happy with Frederico, we asked him to organise for us another private trip according to our wished program and visited with him the splendid places Óbidos, Nazaré, Mafra Palace and Ericeira. Frederico also gave us different very valuable advises for our sightseeing in Lisbon and we could address to him any question during our stay. We can only recommend him to your visit to Portugal.

A Superb Day in Setúbal, Sesimbra and Arrábida with EpiTravels - As he promised, Frederico, the founder and owner of EpiTravels was early and in the location we'd agreed on to pick us up. He offered us a bottled water and had plenty on hand for a long excursion. Frederico explained that he could customize the tour to our liking and cut certain parts shorter to accommodate more of what we wanted to see. Our first stop was Setúbal and it was a treat! We visited the large central square, the hugh fish/farmer's market and the waterfront. This part of the country is "real" Portugal. There were no throngs of tourists, just a beautiful city being itself with all its' charm. We then traveled to Sesimbra and stopped at several beautiful overlooks en route. In Sesimbra, Frederico let us off by the beach to minimize our walking while he parked the car. The town is quaint and cute and inviting. We had a delicious lunch of seafood and rice with a fabulous water view. After lunch we headed to Arrábida, a huge and protected natural park, with several more scenic overlook stops and a visit to an ancient church (whose name I can't remember ;) perched high on a cape. This area is famous for its' wine and if time had permitted we would have enjoyed a wine tasting. Maybe next time. I can't emphasize enough how it will maximize your visit to Portugal to go with Frederico on this tour and others that he offers. It will be the best use of your money and time. He is a professional, well-versed in Portuguese history and an all around super guy.

Many thanks! - The scenery as we were driven through the natural park was lovely … it would have probably have been spectacular had it been a sunny day. Our guide, Frederico, was a most pleasant and informative guide with excellent English. The view from Christ Statue was amazing. We had a reasonably priced lunch in a restaurant with a lovely view of the sea. Overall, we would recommend the trip with Frederico.
