My wife and I were the first to participate in this tour, and we are beyond pleased with every aspect. First, we must sing the praises of our guide Inês. She is a consummate professional and was a joy to be with. Our goal was to have good food, see a bit of Portugal, and experience a bit of culture. She provided it all without making it feel like a "tour". Leaving Lisbon, we crossed the Vasco de Gama bridge, which holds the distinction of both longest in Portugal and longest in Europe at ~17 km. We moved on to Alcochete to admire the view of the Rio Tejo. While we were there, we decided to grab a bica at a local cafe but the machine was broken. Sadly, we had to have a beer....or two. For lunch, we headed to Montijo. While Inês deserves 10 stars, our lunch destination A Casa do Pescador deserves five of those. The meal was phenomenal. The sardines, octopus, squid, potatoes, roe, cheese, and desert were fresh and perfectly prepared. It was paired beautifully with a Douro white that we finished we gusto. To finish, there was a bit of Beirão and a bica com cheirinho (coffee with a scent). I highly recommend both, but I won't explain the last because it's a pleasant surprise. After lunch, we moved on to the last "official" destination, the lovely Santuário de Cristo Rei. Although it was a holiday, there was no crowd. The view of the 25 Abril Bridge is fantastic either from ground level or from atop the observation platform. We spent some time enjoying the view, chatting, and taking some photos. After a bit, we decided to stop for a "goodbye" beer with Inês. She took us down to Oriente, nearly in the shadow of Expo '98 mascot GIL. Here we had a small beer or three and lost track of time talking and observing the passers-by. Ultimately, we had to end the day and Inês returned us to our hotel full of good food, good beer, and good memories. At the end, it felt as if we'd spent the day with a friend. I have no higher praise than this. If you have the time and opportunity to take this tour, you should do it. If you have the opportunity to take it with Inês, go twice.
