Wine Tastings with whirlwind trip to the countryside - This tour covered alot of ground. We enjoyed 2 very different wine Tastings, lunch at beach village, fish market, coastal and countyrside views. A surprise visit to a tile factory where we learned about the process of hand oained tiles. Lots of historical context was provided by our knowledgeable and charming guide. The day exceeded my expectations.

Great time spending your day - Wow! What a fantastic day! The meeting place was convenient and our guide was punctual. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and history of the region as well as the vineyards. It was wonderful to have a good hour and 45 minutes to explore the fish/beach town. I highly recommend this trip!

I enjoyed seeing some of... - I enjoyed seeing some of the areas outside of Lisbon. I am not a wine person but really liked a couple of the wines we tried. The time is not long in most places so I may have missed things of interest, but on the plus side we were moving on before I had time to get bored.

- I had a fabulous tour with Tomás. He was quite knowledgeable, kind and most importantly, easy to understand as many times I personally have difficulty understanding different accents. The spots we stopped at and recommendations were spot on!

A nice excursion and change from the hustle and bustle in Lisbon - It all worked out fine.
Andre did a great job.
The wines were very good, especially on the 2. Winery they were super cheap.
In Semsimbra we would have liked an organized lunch. There was an expensive restaurant and it took a long time to get a meal. It would be nicer if something had been organized for the group! And there is a point deduction for the fact that Castelo de Palmela was simply omitted
Here's how it went along with it:
Visit Palmela Castle, and climb the walls and tower for a fantastic photo opportunity.
