What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
From Lisbon, tour to the south bank of the Tagus, with passage through various points of historical, cultural and landscape interest. So close to the capital is the beautiful and typical fishing village of Sesimbra, with distinct landscapes - the beaches, a lagoon, a sanctuary, a castle, the natural park, a convent and a taste of wines... will be worth apena! This is our proposal for another amazing tour and day. But being a private tour, if the customer has any preference, we can adjust the itinerary according to the possibilities.

      Sesimbra - a beautiful place
      Our driver is the company owner - Francisco- he is very knowledgeable about the area and the history. He is friendly and made the trip very pleasant with lots of conversation. We had questions and he answered all of them. Highly recommend this company. We enjoyed the sights we saw and took lots of pictures.

      Lisbon and Local Sesimbra Tours with Badger Tours - Amazing !!
      Highly recommend Badger Tour services! Our group was in Sesimbra for a week to support some American expat families. Our team did the programming for the children and we had planned for two field trips with middle and highschool aged kids. Due to closures and weather everything we had preplanned for both trips was not doable. Enter Francisco and Badger Tours! Francisco offered several options to rescue us. His options were far superior to anything we had pre-planned. He arranged for the kids to visit a tile-making establishment, Azulejos de Azeitão where kids learned about the process and painted their own tiles which were later baked and Badger Tours brought to our hotel for the kids! Also in the outing, he arranged for us to visit Setubal as well as visit a Santa Margarida cave in Arrabida. During our trip back to the hotel and Sesimbra Castle he stopped at several beautiful vistas to explain to the kids what they were seeing in the distance. Things like the longest beach in Europe, or an old convent, or the view of the town. Every adult and child on the tour had an excellent experience. Francisco, Ines, and Leonard were excellent drivers and hosts for all of the adults and children (a group of 21) during the outing. Our second preplanned field trip with kids to Lisbon was met with bad weather. Again, Francisco had incredible options for us that were inside from the rain. The kids enjoyed a tasty snack at Pastéis de Belém, visited the Museu de Marinha, viewed the exhibits in the Lisbon Aquarium and enjoyed a cable car ride view of part of the harbors of Lisbon. Again Francisco’s plans were far superior to what we had originally considered. In between the field trips with students, our adult team also took a day trip to Lisbon and the Badger Tours team. We were treated to visiting multiple historic sites and Francisco provided information at every place we stopped along the way. Sadly we had to leave Portugal, Lisbon, and beautiful Sesimbra behind as Badger Tours drove us to the airport. By the end of our time, we had come to feel like Badger Tours were old family friends who were hosting us on a visit and sharing with us their beautiful history, culture, and landscape. We shared stories of family and grandkids, stories of fishing with our fathers, and discussions about those things that bring us all joy in life. If you find yourself in Sesimbra, walk down April 25 Avenue and stop in the shop for BadgerTours to book a trip, rent a bike, or just meet some great Portuguese friends. -Bill V.

      Badger made our day in Lisbon / Sintra
      FANTASTIC! What a great day in Lisbon / Sintra that Francisco arranged for us. Having only a day stop during our trans Atlantic cruise, Francisco was in constant contact with us prior to our ship arriving and was waiting for us once we disembarked the cruise ship in Lisbon. A quick tour of Lisbon's highlights preceded a full tour of Pena Palace, wonderful cliffside lunch, walking tour of Sintra, costal stops, driving tour of Cascais and return to the ship - A very full day! A great day tour for us in a clean van with a courteous and knowledgeable driver/guide. I highly recommend Badger tours.

      First class in every respect
      Enjoy a wonderful Portuguese experience through the expert eyes of a local. Sesimbra is wonderful "under the radar" destination and Francisco Texuga (Texuga is Portuguese for Badger) is the unofficial mayor. Whatever your interests, be they history, museums, fine dining, vineyards, golf or exploring and whatever your timeframe, we highly recommend Francisco to make it a special experience. Although he is based in Sesimbra he and his team are active in and around greater Lisbon. On this, (our second trip to the area this year) we had a lengthy Cruise Port day in Lisbon. Francisco met us shipside, scooted us ahead ship tour busloads to Palácio Nacional da Pena. From there a terrific afternoon exploring multiple points of interest in Sintra area. Make sure to include a traditional lunch and leave it to Francisco choose. You won't be disappointed. Badger's advertising is entirely word of mouth and their 5 star rating is no accident. We will return in 2025. Many thanks. Dave and Jo Dinwoodie Chilliwack BC Canada

      Impressive, professional, worry free tour
      From the moment we arrived at the airport in Lisbon , Badger Tours took exceptional care of every detail for our tour of Portugal. We were with Francisco for several days enjoying every minute. He is an excellent tour guide and experienced driver. His attitude and attention to details made our trip memorable and worry free. The vehicle was spacious, clean & comfortable. We will definitely use Badger Tours again. Thank you for everything Francisco!

      One of the best tours I’ve done
      This was an amazing experience! Francisco is very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful with everything you might like to see or do. This was my 2nd tour with him 2 days in a row and I really don’t think I could have known or covered as much without his guidance. I recommend anyone coming to this area to take this tour. Thank you Francisco!

      Lisbon Fado concert dinner evening
      An amazing dining experience in Alfama District (Lisbon)! Francisco collected us by car and drove us to a lovely restaurant where we listened to the famous Portuguese Fado music. The music was fun and interactive with many of the waiting staff participating (and audience!). The food was delicious and overall, a great and moving ambiance.

      Picturesque Sesimbra tour
      Highly recommend this tour of Sesimbra as well as other Badger tours. Francisco was an amazing guide - he picked us up promptly and was instantly welcoming and friendly. Not to mention informative about the local area. A perfect balance of keeping us informed but letting us absorb the sights independently during the scheduled viewing stops. And to top it off, he knew all the best spots for picturesque shots! Francisco was accommodating and flexible with the itinerary given we had already visited the castello on a separate day. Enough time allowed to spent at each stop. Thank you for a great morning out!

    We had a very old and dear friend visiting from Ireland and we wanted to show her the beauty of this part of Portugal. We could not think of any company which could ever better Badger Tours in this respect. We have never been disappointed.

    Francisco guided us that morning and his relaxed and friendly way helps so much in bringing out the greatest possible pleasure from a tour. He gave us a trip which not only surpassed our expectations but showed us things that even we, having lived here 5 years now, have never seen.

    The castle at Sesimbra is very interesting, not swamped with crowds of tourists and affords spectacular views over Sesimbra below and to the north as far as the River Tejo and beyond.

    Cabo Espichel show the dramatice coastline we have here, its old monastery and church, and the tranquil setting for a walk by the cliffs and a cake and drink so much a part of living in Portugal.

    The beaches were beautiful. Miles of lovely golden sand and a lagoon opened to the sea once a year and then closed off again. How this is managed goodness only knows. These beaches are not so well known as those at Caparica or Cascais, but are, in our view, far more enticing to the sun worshipper.

    We were dropped off in Sesimbra where Badger Tours are based, This lovely seaside town boasts a nice beach and fort mid way along the beach with a museum and excellent restaurant. We sat under awnings gently having cool spray put into the air whilst we ate and drank. Superb !!!

    In all our tours and transfers with Badger Tours we have had the highest grade of care and service. We cannot recommend them too much. We recently have even used them for long distance travel to the Algarve and the comfort their vehicles afford is wonderful. They can tailor make tours to suit your needs and we feel their prices are very reasonable considering what you receive. All their personnel are friendly and speak english which is a bonus for anyone coming from Britain, Ireland, the USA ore any other english speaking country.

    All we can say is you will be excellently pleased with what this company can give you in whatever service you need. And, you will get to know a little less known but spectacular part of Portugal

    This is my third time visiting Sesimbra and my third time using Badger Tours, Francisco has now become more of a friend as he knows my family very well, the service he provides is second to none, always professional, always polite and always punctual. Nothing is too much for him and he always manages to accommodate for changes in plans which is very reassuring.
    See you in 2025 !!!!

    Francisco was, by far, the best driver/guide and overall helpful travel planner I’ve worked with on any trip. He went above and beyond for our group of 8 with making recommendations, helping us with phone calls and reservations, and adding on transfers that weren’t originally planned. He also took many pictures for us and sent them to me right away. I would recommend working with him for any travel you are planning in and around Sesimbra.

    We did the Sesimbra tour, daily pickups, and transfer to Lisbon through Badger Tours. Francisco is kind, professional, and is very responsive, helpful and flexible when we had last minute changes. His van is in great condition, always clean, and he’s ALWAYS on time. On the tour, Francisco offered to take pictures for us, and took the time to tell us more about the area we were visiting. Uber isn’t prevalent in Sesimbra and no one in our group can drive a manual (most rental cars in Europe aren’t automatic unless pre-booked in a big city), so we couldn’t have done much without Badger’s services. I highly recommend them!

    Where do I start? From the moment we were picked up we knew that we had made the right choice in using Badger tours. Francisco’s local knowledge cannot be beaten and the passion for his job shines through in everything he says. We started the day with a few sites in mind that we wanted to see however Fransisco suggested other spots on route which blew us both away! Before we knew it we sitting on the beach of vast lagoon, pure bliss! Thank you Francisco for making our day the most magical possible, we will be back soon for more ‘Adelia’ adventures!

    Excellent service both during the tour from Francisco and people working at the agency. Rhe Badger Tours agency is very conveniently located in Sesimbra and it was also the starting point of the tour.
    I am travelling with two young children and I want to thank Francisco for adjusting the tour to their interests, thinking of a booster seat and allowing us to go in our own pace.
    The tour was very interesting with beautiful vistas, interesting history sights and information about all the locations. Plus, we got to see dinosaur tracks!
    Highly recommend for everyone travelling to this region!
    Thank you!

    Thanks to Francisco for this unforgettable tour. Everything was top notch,
    the sensational beaches, the very personal wine tasting, the incomparable views from above the cliffs, but above all the detailed explanations from Francisco. We fell a little in love with Sesimbra and will come back.

    I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with knowledgeable Francisco of Badger Tours in Sesimbra. He shared his love of Sesimbra and surroundings with a small group of 3 people only. It was wonderful and an afternoon well spent where I made new friends. Aside from taking in breathtaking landscapes and scenery, we had a blast at a small family-owned winery in Azeitao... I learned a lot about the production of Moscatel wine which I thought I didn't like because it's too sweet generally. I learned that it's only sweet when it's bottled too early! Francisco took extra time with us and even waited for us while we picked up a few groceries! This while he had a family commitment right after he finished our tour. Highly recommend Badger Tours!
