Fabulous private tour

We had a wonderful time. Our guide was a real gem: she was knowledgable about the sites, pleasant, adaptable, caring and courteous toward my whole family. Our family group ranged in age from 79 to 8 and everyone had a terrific time. It was wonderful to get out of Lisbon and explore castles elsewhere, which helped us to understand the Reconquista as it played out locally. The castle at Sesimbra was an excellent conclusion to the day and I adored the church there (with its interior covered in Baroque Portugese tile.) I also loved learning more about Portugal's artisanal traditions. We were all delighted by our visit to the tile factory. The wine tours were enjoyable. My mother loved discovering the region's Moscatel. At the winery called Quinta da Bacalhoa, people with an interest in Africa, museums, colonialism, and colonial memory will be amazed on many levels with the owner's collection of African art (and its curatorship). I strongly recommend this tour.

Very interesting and fun
