Amazing tour with amazing guide

Sofia was amazing! She shared so much interesting information about Cascais and made the tour a fantastic experience. It was the perfect way to start our day exploring the city. Plus, her English was by far the best we've heard on any of the tours we've taken!

Cascais Walking Tour

My wife and I had a great tour with Sophia. She is a native of Cascais and was very knowledgeable about the area and took to many spots “off the beaten track “. I highly recommend this tour!
