Meeting point

Café Saudade

On arrival

We contacted all participants through WhatsApp, creating a group to provide some tips and recommendations before the walking tour.

We will be at the door of Café Saudade. Our guides will be wearing a t-shirt with the company logo and carrying an A3-sized identification card. Our vehicles are also marked, so it will be impossible not to find us.

Things to note

Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear. During the summer, we recommend using sunscreen. The tour includes scheduled stops for restroom breaks, hydration, and meals. We'll maintain a leisurely pace so you can fully enjoy the experience.


For those who want to visit Quinta da Regaleira or another location, we can provide transportation and guided tours. We'll explore as a group and, at the end, walk back to the meeting point. (The guided tour inside the monuments' price will be divided by the number of customers who wish to participate.)

Tickets for any attractions are not included
