Fantastic coastal locastion. Very interesting visit.

Published on Jul, 2024

First of sall I have to thank Andre for his flexibility in organising, then having to re-orgainse, our trip. The coastal situation of Cape Espichel is very dramatic with the sauropod and theropd footprints (and tail drag markings!) combing to give a memorable visit. Afterwards Sesimbra castle is situated on a hilltop giving spectacular views especially to the south towards the small fishing resort of Sesimbra where you can take lunch. Andre was very enthusiatic and knowledgeable giving information on the plants as we walked the tracks towards the foorprints and was always keen to let us see the best parts in this area.

Wonderful day in the surroundings of Sesimbra

Published on Jun, 2024

I had booked a tour to Cabo Espichel. António picked me up directly at my accommodation in a cool 1988 jeep. We drove a beautiful route off the main road and he showed and told me a lot about the surrounding area. At Cape Espichel, he gave me all the time I needed in this peaceful place and planned the tour so that I could visit the lighthouse in the afternoon (it only opens for visitors on Wednesday afternoons). We ended the tour with a sundowner, it was a great day all round. António is a crazy cool guy and I can only recommend anyone to book a tour with him. @ António: Thank you again for everything

The Amazing Wild, Wild West

Published on Mar, 2024

Andre showed us the Wild West and blew our minds. Must be experienced. Beauty to enlighten your senses, from the gorgeous wild flowers, the amazing cliffs and beautiful beaches. Words can’t do it justice. Andre, our guide, knows all the secret places. Although my husband and I hike regularly and generally do not hire a guide, we are extremely glad we went on this adventure with Andre. We would have missed a lot without him. We will book again with him on our next visit!

Fun in the countryside

Published on Oct, 2023

We originally signed up for a tour to Espichel cape and several beaches, but the weather gods had other ideas. We were able to see Espichel cape and hike to see the dinosaur tracks. We then visited the chapel and castle grounds at Sesimbra before having an excellent lunch there. We then visited a tile factory before returning to our hotel in Lisbon. Our guide Andre was flexible and helped us make the best of the day. He is very knowledgeable about the countryside and on a nicer day we would love to do the beach tour.

Adventurous and stunning

Published on Aug, 2023

We had a wonderful day with Andre. The hike had absolutely stunning views, and seeing fossilized dinosaur footprints was definitely unique and exciting. We then relaxed at the beach and swam, which was the perfect ending to the day. Andre was informative and considerate and helped us book fado for later in the night. We recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys hiking and wants to explore the more naturey side of Portugal!
