- Parque Natural da Arrabida - Begin your adventure with a convenient pick-up from your Lisbon accommodation or cruise port. As you travel towards Arrábida National Park, be prepared to be captivated by the stunning views over the Sado estuary, celebrated as one of the world’s most beautiful bays. Along the route, stop at scenic viewpoints for memorable photos of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll also catch a glimpse of the historic Arrábida Convent before reaching the heart of Setúbal.
- Mercado do Livramento - In Setúbal, dive into the vibrant atmosphere of the Livramento Market. This historic market, over 145 years old, is decorated with traditional “Azulejos” tiles illustrating scenes of daily life in the region. Explore an impressive selection of fresh seafood, learn about local fish varieties, and gather tips on how to prepare them like a true Portuguese chef.
- Palmela - Next, enjoy a delightful lunch at a popular fisherman’s restaurant. There’s no fixed menu, as your meal is prepared from the morning’s catch, which could include Sea Bream, Sea Bass, Swordfish, Sardines, Horse Mackerel, Cuttlefish, and more. Relish simple, delicious side dishes just like the local fishermen do. Whether you’re feeling adventurous or prefer to keep things classic, your guide will help customize the meal to your taste and preferences.
- Forte de Sao Filipe - If time and weather permit, conclude your day with a visit to the São Filipe Fortress, one of Portugal’s earliest star-shaped fortifications. Built between 1580 and 1600, this historic site offers breathtaking views over Setúbal and the Sado River.

Fantastic Tour!! - It was a great experience at the Azulejos de Azeitão, the fish market, and sight seeing around Setúbal. We had fresh cuisine at a local restaurant, restaurant Alinote, and really loved our tour guide. Fantastic tour!!

Fish & Tile Tour - We took this tour because my husband was interested in the fishing culture. Our guide, Paulo, was fantastic. He took us to a fortification and then to lunch, which was at a local restaurant that we would never have found on our own. The food was fantastic. We also visited the beautiful, colorful marina.
After this, he took us to a tile factory and watched the artists hand paint traditional and beautiful tiles. Of course, we came home with some of these tiles. This company has great customer service. My husband lost something, and they found it and delivered it to our hotel. This tour was fantastic.

Paulo is fantastic and the tour to Setabul with lunch fabulous - We would like to make a special comment about Paulo and the tour we did on Saturday 6th October. In one word fabulous! He is a real asset to this company. He listened to what we liked and tailored the tour to fit. We went to Setabul as planned stopping on the way at a local tile factory. We really enjoyed that as well as the local Fish Markets and beach tour. The stop for lunch was fabulous. " Cafe do Jacques" Another local experience and the food fantastic. We stopped on the way home to buy some local product which we showed interest in. We especially wanted a traditional Portugese dinner experience and Paulo suggested the family Restaurant "Adega Dom Luis", which was an absolutely wonderful food delight and local experience. We will definately go again. On our arrival at home we will be highly recommending this company, especially any tour with Paulo Levy and to all our Friends plus the tour company we travelled with. You can't go wrong do it !!

Five of us from the U.S. took this... - <p>Five of us from the U.S. took this day trip with Paolo, our gregarious well-informed guild. At Fonte da Telha Beach, which is renowned for it's beautiful white sand coastline, we were introduced to several fishermen and invited into one fisherman's shack. We saw buckets of fish being salted and lines of fish drying, typical of what you would see in Portuguese markets. While we were there, a boat came in, and we watched as fish were unloaded and sold. </p>
<p>We drove to Setubal, a colorful seaside village, enjoyed going to the fish market and had a lovely lunch with Paolo at a typical outdoor family-run restaurant. The drive was beautiful and we were able to stop at a tile factory and have a demonstration of tile-making.</p>
<p>Great day and terrific guide. We recommend it.</p>
