Great walk, between... - Great tour, among several places, we know the local municipal market (Setúbal), incredible landscapes like Arrábida, experience with excellent wines, historic site with wines dating from 1880, we went to Christ, but the most stunning view was the 25th of April Bridge, a special thanks to Pedro Luis who explained to us in detail all the paths traveled. Amazing trip!!!

Outstanding excursion, with a great host. - I had a great day on the Arrabida trip - even the rain that came in hot and heavy mid-afternoon couldn’t take away from that. Our guide, Nuno, has been in the tourism industry for a while now and his experience and passion shows in everything he shared with us. The market, the winery tour, and the views were amazing. But the highlight was honestly the tasting in the afternoon. Sure, it was rainy, but the group I was with and our guide - just the simplicity of the experience - really made today memorable.
