Private Tour To Factory Of Tiles, Setúbal And Évora From Lisboa

Awesome tour, Antonio very friendly and accommodating, knows where great portuguese food is 😋 the best! 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are looking for an experience that captures the true heart of Portugal, this is it. Our day was a perfect blend of culture, breathtaking scenery, and incredible hospitality. The Art of the Tile We started the day with a visit to a local tile factory, which was absolutely fascinating. Seeing the craftsmanship that goes into Portugal’s iconic azulejos firsthand gives you a whole new appreciation for the architecture you see throughout the country. The attention to detail and the preservation of traditional methods are truly impressive. Coastal Magic From the factory, we moved toward the coast, and the ocean views were nothing short of spectacular. Standing on the cliffs and looking out over the Atlantic was one of those "pinch-me" moments. It’s the kind of rugged, natural beauty that photos just can’t fully capture. A Perfect Picnic The highlight of the afternoon was a wonderful picnic set against that stunning coastal backdrop. It wasn’t just a quick bite; it was a thoughtfully curated spread of local flavors that allowed us to slow down and really soak in the atmosphere. Our Guide, Antonio What truly elevated this entire experience was our guide, Antonio. From the moment we met, his passion for his country and his warm personality made us feel completely at ease. He didn't just show us the sights; he shared stories and insights that made the day feel deeply personal. By the end of the trip, Antonio didn't feel like a guide anymore—he felt like a friend. If you have the chance to book a tour with him, do not hesitate. He is a true professional with a huge heart, and he made our time in Portugal something we will cherish forever. Highly recommended!

We spent two days with Antonio. We went to Evora and the Tile Factory one day and around the Lisbon area on the other day. Antonio is knowledgeable, patient and he lets you set your itinerary. He will go at your pace and gives you his full attention. I’ve also done the Sintra tour with him. He is an excellent guide and we will use him again when we return to Portugal. Highly recommend.

This was such a fun day trip. Seeing how the famous Portuguese tiles are made was such a cool experience. We had a delicious lunch followed by some site seeing and a delicious wine tasting.

Wonderful trip! Very interesting demonstration at the tile museum. Beautiful views of the coast along the way to Setubal. The highlight of the trip was Evora and the stork nests along the way. Antonio was a wonderful guide.

I had originally been most interested in getting to Evora but the rest of the day was as good or better than that. Antonio is a wonderful and patient host and takes you to places you would never see on your own. We enjoyed each stop- the small tile factory where we gained a new appreciation for the craftsmanship of tile art to the morning break where we had our first taste of sheep’s cheese and pumpkin jam along with pastry.. to the amazing fish market and wonderful lunch place. Of course seeing the ruins of the temple in Evora was cool too. Most of all, Antonio goes above and beyond to help with restaurant recommendations, where to see fado, and much more. Don’t hesitate to book with him! We actually canceled our previously scheduled tour to Sintra with another group so we can go with him tomorrow.

The 4 days that we stayed with our tour guide Antonio Meneses from Lisbon was a superb experience . Very knowledgeable, patient , dependable person

This tour was our favorite of all the tputs we booked whole staying in Lisbon. Antonio was our guide as he was on two others . Our guide made sure we were well caffeinated as we stopped for espresso before going to a factory where hand painted tiles are made. Very informative demonstration at the family owned firm. You are able to purchase some that can be shipped home as well. The ones backed in cork make great gifts as trivets After that we drove to the coast for some magnificent views then to the Setubal market. We had a great lunch with Antonio at a local spot. Then we were off to Evora, but the heavens opened up once again Despite the weather, Antonio made sure we got our money's worth. He is so well informed on Portuguese history, food and local facts. Antonio is the best tour guide that we have ever had! He's a safe driver and we had some downpours. We can not speak highly enough of him. Now that we are home, I've already messaged him about today's eclipse. Tour friends for life....

If you’re coming to Portugal, booking a tour with Antonio is a must! He is very knowledgeable about the history of Portugal and all the monuments we went to. He’s a very safe driver and very attentive to our needs. He also took us to some of the best food sports throughout all of Portugal, and as a foodie I really appreciated this.

The tours were a great experience especially with Antonio as our guide. He was very accommodating, and flexible. And all the places we went to were worth the visit. Would definitely go back and have him tale us around again.

Antonio’s an awesome guide. Very accommodating and warm. Very knowledgeable and catered to our needs. My first time here In Portugal and it was an amazing experience thanks to our guide! Highly recommend him if you ever visit Portugal! Obrigado Amigo!

António was fantastic. Our adult Niece and her family toured with him originally. Then our daughter and son in law used him. He made the trip to Portugal so easy. He took care of everything for us. Many sites we would have never seen. Great little stops for pastries and wine. Hidden lunch spots and beautiful overlooks of the ocean and countryside. We had the time of our life. Many thanks Antonio for all the special touches. We highly recommend Antonio. You will not regret it. Doug and Lisa from Kentucky

Great day! We learned a lot about the region, were able to see many things, and enjoyed good conversation with Antonio throughout the day.

We have known António for several years now . We have dealt with him while visiting Portugal, rented his apartment and taken tours like this one. Punctual, clean comfortable vehicle and amazingly knowledgeable about Portugal, it’s gastronomy the culture and heritage of its people. We left Estoril for the planned destination of Évora. En route we stopped for a coffee, a torta de Azeitão and locally made soft cheese at Cego. We stopped at the most amazing market in Sétubal, Mercado do Livremento (produce, baking, fish, and seafood). We stopped at the Resaurante Moinho do cu Torto, a windmill from the 1800s that still mills flour for their bread (delish). We had their famous tomato soup (vegetable with an egg). Next stop, Viana do Alentejo (Castelo and the Sanctuary de Nossa Senhora d’Aires. Then, our ultimate planned destination of Évora (university town, the Roman ruins of the Temple of Diana, within the wall of this medieval town. The return trip was equally informative. We have already booked another private tour to Sintra with António.

Portugal is an amazing country, made more amazing by its people and Antonio is an amazing ambassador of both. We saw, learned, experienced, and tasted things that we never would have without Antonio. And all without ever feeling rushed or on a schedule. He was so generous of his time and knowledge and is the kindest of men. I booked our tours - a combination of group tours and tours with Antonio - in advance of our trip and without much background knowledge of the Lisboa area. Once there, I discovered that our second trip booked with Antonio was covering much of the same ground as the group trip that I’d booked for our first day. I gave Antonio the information about our remaining tours and he custom built a day trip for us that covered places we would not otherwise have seen. He planned our lunch and dinner that day, as well as our dinner on our previous tour it’s him, which ensured that we sampled the best of Portuguese cuisine. I cannot say enough good things about Antonio and we are looking forward to seeing him again when we next visit Portugal.

Amazing tour Antonio is an amazing guide,He knows so much , I love this tour you get to learn lots of history! Me and my friends had so much fun thank you hope to see again.

Antonio is an amazing guide but most important an amazing person. He knows so much! You will see, smell, taste and learn so much from his tours. Ending the tour an the beach with wine, bites and a beautiful sun going down made the day even more perfect! So not doubt of you want to book this tour, just do it and you won't regret it!

Very satisfied with Entonio's service. Discover breathtaking landscapes. Great monument, church and castle.

A wonderful and different experience. With the best guide. Antonio always says that time is ours and not his. In addition to showing the places, help you understand the language and history and also the soul of each place. It gives you something very valuable time and space. He never rushes you. The tour knows what time heaven never gives what time ends. Antonio is an Okis on tours. Grateful infinitely

I met Antonio several years ago, then contacted by me this year to organize a tour. He organized a personalized excursion based on our desires and as always Antonio creates something magical! The time spent with him is precious, passionate about his work and his country loves to advise or tell anecdotes. I recommend it to everyone!
