The app had all information necessary to take us on a tour of the area. It was great being able to go at our own pace. We, went to places we would never have seen without the guide. The map and photos were really helpful. I would describe our whole experience as fun as well as informative.

A trip to enjoy. We ate good tuna for lunch on one of the islands. We got to see and experience this beautiful part of Portugal. Our guide and our captain did everything for us to get the most out of our trip.

Amazing boat, amazing hosts, great service and absolutely incredible experience - cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you so much to Benny and Vasco for making it such a memorable trip!

Super nice tour. Great value for money. You can't say anything bad about the price. The trip is worth it. You feel a little like you are in a European Caribbean on the islands

An enjoyable walk through the Town taking a stranger to sights that you would not necessarily see if visiting Cascais without the guide.
