Lonely Planet wrote about the Alentejo: "Go to be bewitched. Portugal’s largest region, covering a third of the country, truly captivates. Think dry, golden plains, rolling hillsides and lime-green vines. A rugged coastline, traditional whitewashed villages, marble towns and majestic medieval cities. Plus a proud if melancholic people, who valiantly cling to their local crafts." Don't miss out on this private day tour of our most charming region in the country!

Inclusions: Bottled water, Wine Tasting

Exclusions: Lunch, Gratuities, Guided tours inside monuments, ATM payment on the Cork Factory - cash only

If there's a rating above 5 stars, this trip with Daniella deserves it. This was more than a tour. It was actually a pilgrimage that got my 10 year old fascinated at the story of the 3 children of Fatima. My partner who is not catholic was overwhelmed at level of details Daniella took to ensure we enjoyed this trip. With an active and cranky 3 year old, Daniella was very patient and helped soothe our boy several times. This trip is all you need to enjoy Fatima and this got me into planning another trip to Portugal. Thank you ever so much Daniella!

The Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, amidst the deep blue sea and the green of the hills, is a breath-taking place. Situated by the sea, the park offers some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the Lisbon area. The highest point is in the Serra do Risco, a magnificent cliff 380m high. A good way of getting to know this pristine place, featuring pure Mediterranean vegetation, is this private tour.  Like a wall of green sticking out over the Atlantic, the hills offer shelter to small coves of white sand where, despite being on the edge of the ocean, the sea is almost free of waves.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Wine Tasting

Exclusions: Lunch, Gratuities

The cork factory was surprisingly interesting and the town of Évora was adorable. The Chapel of Bones is extra (only 5€, but worth it) and you’re on your own for lunch. We picked Tragos E Condutos and had a fabulous meal (get the black pork!). To top it all off, the winery was equally awesome and included a tour of the winery’s carriage museum. It may sound boring, but (again) it was surprisingly cool. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and best of all, our tour ended up being private because no one else signed up. Definitely recommend!

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. Your guide takes you to top sites in and around Fatima, including a factory of religious objects and sacred religious sites, and then leaves you free to explore each location on your own.

This is a late review, but necessary. We thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour with Sintra Magik in Fatima. The Shrine of course was incredible. The visit to the family home and meeting their descendants were equally touching. We sampled the local cuisine and appreciated the hospitality. Our tour of the religious factory allowed us to return with artifacts for our family. We were so fortunate to have a delightful Irish priest bless these keepsakes. An awesome, memorable day. We highly, highly recommend this tour group.

We spent a one day guided tour with Pedro, and we had the best time! We went from Lisbon to Evora, saw cork factory, Bone Chapple, and the Ervideira Winery. Pedro was so informative and did a wonderful job at customizing the day to our liking. He brought us to a fabulous quaint restaurant for coffee and snacks and later to a restaurant where we had our favorite meal of our entire visit in Portugal. Pedro also took pictures along the way and even gave us a special souvenir from Portugal! The entire day was one of our highlights, and we highly recommend Pedro and Growing Adventure!

Andre was an amazing guide and the trail was one of a kind. Never in a million years could I have navigated it without him. We had a great conversation and the time flew by. It was a great way to get outside the city of Lisbon and explore. It is a bit challenging in parts and when the guide tells you to wear pants, trust them :)
