Frequently asked questions

What level of physical activity is involved in this private trip?

This trip involves minimal strenuous activity. Guests will primarily enjoy scenic views from the comfort of a premium vehicle. Short strolls may be taken in Sesimbra or at the winery, but these are generally flat and accessible. The pace is relaxed, designed for comfort and enjoyment rather than extensive walking.

Is lunch included in the price of this one-day itinerary?

Lunch is not included in the trip price. While a stop in Sesimbra is planned for a delightful seafood meal, guests are responsible for the cost of their own lunch and any beverages. Your private driver will be pleased to offer exceptional restaurant recommendations to suit your preferences.

Can the winery visit be customized or changed to another activity?

The winery visit in Azeitão is a highlight designed to commemorate a special occasion.

Please communicate any specific interests or needs prior to booking so we can tailor the experience accordingly.

What makes this transfer from Lagos to Lisbon unique compared to standard travel options?

This private journey elevates a simple transfer into a full day of sightseeing and cultural immersion.
