Many experiences emphasize local culture and hands-on encounters: moliceiro canal rides in Aveiro, visits to the Maritime Museum of Ílhavo and the Vista Alegre factory, a traditional Arraiolos rug workshop, cork-production visits, wine and cheese tastings at the Mourisca Tide Mill, and wine tasting at the Cartuxa winery in Évora. Several listed tours specify private transport with options for drop-off in Porto, Aveiro or Lisbon where indicated.
Offerings range from short 2-hour walking street art tours in Lisbon to full-day itineraries such as day trips that include Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Cascais or multi-stop routes to Óbidos, Nazaré and Fatima.
