In a private car, visiting Fatima from Lisbon can be a challenge. This tour offers a solution by providing transportation between the Portuguese capital and one of the country’s most important religious sites, without sacrificing the comfort of private transportation.

I never write reviews, as I personally feel that something exceptional is needed to make me wanna do it. Get Stoked certainly convinced me after taking me on the most amazing snorkeling adventure in Arrábida with the most friendly guide named Nuno which I had a great time with. We got see 3 octopuses, tons of different fish species in the most magnificent scenery and surroundings. Thank you for this time Filipe and Nuno, hope to see you guys again someday in the future. All the best. - Rathi

This tour is a must for any visitors to the Lisbon area. Our guide, Tania, was amazing. She was so welcoming and knowledgeable and made sure we had the best day possible. Due to Covid-19 restrictions there were only 4 of us on the tour - myself and my sister and another couple (who were also absolutely lovely and we became friends). Sintra and Cascais are so beautiful and the tour allowed us ample time to explore both areas. Tania gave us great tips on the best photo opportunity spots and also on the best places to eat. The area was very quiet compared to pre-Covid times, but it was really nice to see Sintra, the palace and surrounding area without hordes of tourists - no queues. We wore our masks at all times so everyone felt safe from a Covid point of view. I cannot fault the service and the tour. Great value and amazing to see these places with so few tourists about. One of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. It is quite hilly so be prepared for some walking - but you can always get a lift up to the palace grounds if you have limited mobility, so don't let that put you off.

We invite you to join us on a tour along the Tagus River. Come and visit Lisbon in a different way, be amazed by it’s colours, the way they spread over the hills and touch the river. We will sail from the Doca de Santo Amaro (Santo Amaro Dock under the bridge), to the Praça do Comércio, one of the most beautiful plazas in the word. From there we can see the old neighborhoods of Lisbon: Chiado, Baixa, Castelo and Alfama. Then it’s time to cross to Cacilhas on the other side of the river to get the widest possible view of the city. Sail close to the Cristo Rei on the south bank, cross under the bridge and sail to Belém to see its tower. On the way back you will see how the people of Lisbon love to walk, sit and chat by the side of the river; usually the banks are full of people enjoying the sun, the river and boats passing by. You will have plenty of time to take amazing pictures of the city and of this incredible experience.

Inclusions: White and rosé wine, cheese and charcuterie, Bottled water

Enjoy a hiking tour to the highest limestone cliff of continental Europe. Go inside  Arrábida Natural Park and take a long walk into the remote lands of "Serra do Risco". A place  characterized by a landscape with a strong character. The walk is done along the top of the mountain that looks like a wave that advances impetuosly and is suddenly cut off and sculpted in the air, it is a wave of stone and scrub, it is the fossil of a wave.

Great Tour and tour guide. Highly organised they will even pick you up at the hotel/house you are staying at and return you to the exact same spot. Natasha very knowledgeable and super helpful with booking viewing times and lunch. Really safe also with the current situation with covid. A comfy car with hand sanitizer and AC. Well worth the cost and Andre was very helpful and contactable for sorting out tours and trips at short notice when we planned at trip on the 04/09/2020 I personally highly recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing and stress free trip around the area of Sesimbra and to get to know wineries and local culture.

Although the weather was not on our side, I really enjoyed this sunset cruise! When I decided to book a sailboat cruise on the Tagus, I struggled to find any tours still operating, especially on New Year's Eve. Luckily I saw one of the Tagus Cruises ships on the river in Belem and searched for them online. The booking was easy, we were six people in total. The skipper was very friendly and told me a lot of cool sailing stories while also explaining how the boat worked! We had a complimentary drink and although it rained for a bit, we saw a rainbow at the end and that made it all worth it. Highly recommended!
