Overall it was a good trip and Yann was a fabulous guide. My complaint is the first winery, Jose Maria De Fonseca, was a huge let down. It was more of a sales pitch for a large industrial winery. The guide was on autopilot and combine 4 groups so it was a lot of people. And given all of their wines I was surprised we had only 2 small tastings. The fishing village is fine- expect to spend a lot at the fish restaurants- very fresh - but still/ $$$, The second winery, Quinta De Alcube. was amazing. Small comfortable and lovely!!! Plus the wine was great. Highly recommend this winery!!!

Itinerary
Leave Lisbon behind as you cross the Tagus River on the Vasco da Gama Bridge. Built for the 1998 Lisbon Universal Exposition, it is the longest bridge in Europe at nearly 11 miles (17 km) long
From Tuesday to Saturday, starting on the 1st of June, we stop at the Market of Setúbal, considered one of the most beautiful and lively markets in the world: from exotic local fishes to vegetable, fruits, bakeries and cheese.
Only on mondays: Visit the Palmela Castle and ascend the walls and tower for an amazing photo opportunity
You will then follow your guide to a wine tasting session at Casa Museu Jose Maria da Fonseca, one of the oldest wine-producers in Portugal. Enjoy a guided tour of the winery and sample two wines (included) from a wide selection of regional wines.
Continue to the northern shore of the Sado River and discover the beauty of Arrabida Natural Park. Climb to the tallest peak at 1,640 feet (500 meters) and gaze over the verdant park towards the Atlantic and the beaches below.
Stop for a fresh seafood lunch (own expense) in the charming fishing town of Sesimbra. Spend more free time strolling along lively streets or continue for a walk along golden beaches.
Visit a beautiful local family owned wine farm in the heart of Arrábida park, where it is time to taste some wine
Finally, visit the Cristo Rei Sanctuary, inaugurated in 1959 and inspired by the famous Cristo Rei monument in Brazil, and admire Lisbon from a distance before returning to the city.

An unforgettable day — especially thanks to Yann Reiss! We had a wonderful time on the Arrábida and Sesimbra small-group day trip with wine tasting from Lisbon. A fantastic experience and a lovely way to spend a day exploring beyond the city. Special praise goes to our guide, Yann Reiss, who was the highlight of the tour. His warmth, enthusiasm and personal attention made the day feel truly special. A great guide makes all the difference, and Yann certainly deserves credit for making this such a memorable experience. Thank you, Yann and Inside Lisbon Tours, for a wonderful day. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon. Five stars!
It was a great tour and our guide Jose was excellent. There was a whole lot more to the tour than what was described. From time to swim in the ocean, to seeing amazing views on top of mountains, to incredible views at the base of Sanctuary of Christ the king overlooking the bridge. It has a long day but I highly recommend.
What an excellent tour! Our guide, Jose, was a fantastic storyteller who brought the history of the city and country to life with his knowledge and engaging stories. The day was perfectly paced, with just the right balance of sightseeing, learning, and relaxation. The wines were delicious, and the entire experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Jose truly made the day special with his enthusiasm and expertise. Highly recommend!
I really was worried to go alone, but the guide was Jose and he was super positive and informative about everything. We get to know each other during the trip and vinegard was very tasteful.
Amazing. Perfect. Everything.
Jose was an amazing guide. The trip is truly exceptional! Both wineries were excellent and the views in the park were breathtaking. The castle (which they only go to on Mondays) was great and the Christ statue was a perfect way to end the day. Highly, highly recommend!
Amazing experience with John
The guide was terrific. Beautiful scenery. Comfortable ride. Good wine tasting and information. Nice group
Amazing places!!! The views are breath taking and our tour guy was very knowledge from the winery to the beach
Such an awesome experience and Ricardo was an AWESOME guide! Couldn’t recommend more!
Excellent tour. Ricardo was a great guide. Would recommend requesting him as your guide. Very knowledgeable about wine, Lisbon, and the surrounding areas. Both wineries were great (and different!). Would highly recommend this tour with Ricardo.
This tour made a very quick Lisbon visit very memorable. I wanted to visit a vineyard and learn more about wine just for personal pleasure, and I ended up truly learning more. Our tour guide, ANTHONY, has been fantastic in sharing his knowledge and making sure we interact womith each other. 10/10 Amazing
It was great, and see difference between the big exporting winery to the mom and pop, delicious wine
It was truly a memorable tour and a wonderful experience! I really enjoyed visiting José de Maria Fonseca Winery and learning more about its history and winemaking traditions. The atmosphere was lovely, and the overall experience made the visit even more special. Our tour guide, Ben, was absolutely fantastic—very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable and added a personal touch to the tour that made it all the more enjoyable. It was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this winery to anyone looking for a memorable visit!
It was a wonderful experience would do it again with friends. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, kind and respectful.
Phillip was great- he was informative, congenial, and accommodating. Our stops and visit to the fish market, vineyards, and seashore were wonderful.
Nice day trip with «Inside Lisbon». We were happy to have a quick day trip around Lisbon with other nice people coming from England and Brasil. Fabio, our guide, was very friendly. We had the chance to share great life experiences together. The stop at Castelo de Sesimbra by the sea was stunning and the Quinta do Alcube had amazine wines to discover. Too bad we can't buy these wines in Canada! Anyway, it's worth the journey!
A great tour with Sergio as our driver and guide. The two wineries were very different but provided a terrific selection of wines in the area. The market stop was certainly a highlight as well as lunch at the beach. Simply a wonderful experience!
Enjoyed our trip. We were hosted by Ugo, who was friendly and gave lengthy explanations about the locality. The only negative in the trip was the sheer amount of driving involved. I think we spent about four hours in the van at least. Unfortunately, the traffic was not kind to us. On the whole though, the choice of wineries and local scenery was excellent, as was the lunchtime food stop.
A fantastic way to see more of Portugal from Lisbon. This tour has it all- wine tasting, lunch at the beach, Cristo Rei with views of Lisbon and an amazing fish market. Thank you Maria for a great tour with just the right amount of history and context.
What a great day! Our guide, Joao, provided us with a very enjoyable visit to two wineries where we were able to sample several Portuguese wines. We visited a medieval castle and stopped at the lovely beachside fishing village of Sesimbra for lunch. It was well worth the trip!
Great experience. Tour guide was excellent. Tour conducted by Inside Lisbon and they are very professional. Highly recommended them and the Viator booking platform.
Ricardo was very informative and pleasant. We saw and heard a variety of Portugal's history and what’s happening now; from birds to dolphins,cork, wine, bridges, beaches etc.
This was a delightful tour. We loved all the stops. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The wine was excellent and the quintas were lovely. Jose was a great guide. He was very personable, friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a fun sense of humor. We would highly recommend both Jose and the tour!
An interesting experience about the wines history here in Portugal ! We highly recommand this trip! Our guide Benny was amazing!
This tour was amazing! Nuno was everything you could want in a guide and more, would recommend to anyone. A perfect escape from downtown for a bit

Great mix of activities. Superb guide! Comfortable minivan experience. Good balance of stop time and transit
We thoroughly enjoyed our small-group tour with Tomas! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience truly enjoyable. The van was immaculate and very comfortable, and we loved the wineries we visited. We had plenty of time at each stop to learn, explore, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. Our lunch stop in Sesimbra was another highlight. Tomas recommended O Velho e o Mar, and the restaurant was fantastic! We highly recommend booking this tour—you won’t be disappointed!
Our guide/driver Orlando was very knowledgeable, attentive to everyone’s needs, funny and professional!
The wine tour was excellent! The Fonseca tour was very interesting. The Arribida park absolutely stunning views! Our guide Orlando was informative and funny. We had a nice group of people on the tour. Very enjoyable experience.
The four of us has an amazing experience with Phillipe. The tour was well planned and well executed. There was minimal waiting time / driving time between stops which made the day feel seamless, packed with activities, but not exhausting. We particularly wanted to leave feedback becuase of how much we enjoyed our guide Phillipe. He made the tour fun, comfortable and we felt very safe. We suggest everyone specifically recommend him as he was an absolute pleasure and added much value. Thanks again Phillipe!
Excellent day with Orlando! Despite some traffic, we hit each stop with plenty of time and he couldn’t have been more friendly and engaging. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to see some more local areas outside Lisbon with incredible views.
Natalia was amazing! So knowledgeable and funny! We loved her!
This was an intimate small trip. Our guide Antonio was excellent very welcoming and knowledgeable. I would thoroughly recommend this trip. I would not say it is a trip for wine connoisseurs but an introduction to the local wines and culture of the area. There is a schedule but there is flexibility so do not plan anything immediately afterwards as we arrived back later than planned as we were all enjoying the experience so much. Suggest booking directly with Inside Lisbon to get the best price.
Lovely tour with our guide Benny, who was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Brilliant communicator with in-deph local knowledge and perspectives teaching us a lot about the region, communities and local wines. Would highly recommend this tour and specifically our wonderful guide Benny.

Small group (8 or less) are the best! The first winery was very big and was led by the winery staff. The second winery was small and was just as good.
Orlando was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly!
Excellent personality Very well informed
We had an absolutely fantastic experience! Our winery guide, Juan, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the local wines and the region’s history. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, and we never felt rushed. The recommendations were excellent, and we discovered some amazing wines we would have never found on our own. The guide’s enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire day memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable winery experience. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
This experience was a great way to spend our first day in Portugal. Seeing both country and sea scapes with just right amount of stops to get a beautiful view. Our guide Fabio was incredible in maintaining a light and enjoyable experience for all. We were a big group of 5 and there were two single people with us. By the end of the day we were all feeling like old friends.
This trip was well planned and executed by the tour provider "insight Lisbon". The tour guide/driver was fantastic and did a great job getting us to all the places as listed in the tour listing. It was great weather and we enjoyed the entire trip including the interesting winery tour.
Nice trip, very price worthy.
Orlando and Vasco were absolutely fantastic tour guides!! They were beyond knowledgeable, very attentive to every need, made the experience incredibly fun and smooth as we spent the whole day together exploring and going to so many beautiful sites! Would definitely recommend them and book another tour with them again without a doubt!
Orlando was a great guide! I enjoyed the tour. There were nice views on the drive, & I enjoyed the wine.
